  • What's being pushed is to have Darwinism critiqued, to teach there's a controversy. Intelligent design itself does not have any content.

    "The evolution of George Gilder". Interview with Joseph P. Kahn, www.boston.com. July 27, 2005.
  • The result of [the] cumulative efforts to investigate the cell - to investigate life at the molecular level - is a loud, clear, piercing cry of 'design!' The result is so unambiguous and so significant that it must be ranked as one of the greatest achievements in the history of science. The discovery rivals those of Newton and Einstein, Lavoisier and Schrödinger, Pasteur, and Darwin. The observation of the intelligent design of life is as momentous as the observation that the earth goes around the sun.

    "Darwin's Black Box: The Biochemical Challenge to Evolution". Book by Michael Behe, 1996.
  • Intelligent design itself does not have any content.

    "The Evolution of George Gilder". Interview with Joseph P. Kahn, archive.boston.com. July 27, 2005.
  • Intelligent design is a modest position theologically and philosophically. It attributes the complexity and diversity of life to intelligence, but does not identify that intelligence with the God of any religious faith or philosophical system.

  • In the past few months I've become religious, I've started to believe in god, creationism and intelligent design, and the reason that I now believe in god and creationism and intelligent design is because of Professor Richard Dawkins. Because when I look at something as complex and intricate and beautiful as Professor Richard Dawkins, I don't think that just could've evolved by chance! Professor Richard Dawkins was put there by god to test us, like fossils. And facts.

    "Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle/ Religion". Comedy, April 2009.
  • Intelligent design is consistent with any faith system I can think of, because most faith systems believe that there is a creator.

  • I'm sad. Pressed down by sorrow. I'm angry. Pissed at God, if there is one, and the way things are. I'm scared. Confused by the whys. Why are we here? Is there, really, some intelligent design? Why do we cry for someone who leaves us if there's some Grand Pearly Gate in the sky? Why worry about how we build our lives if the ultimate ending for all is death, a single breath away? (358)

    Ellen Hopkins (2012). “Tilt”, p.358, Simon and Schuster
  • I say the Intelligent Design-evolution debate misses the point. It trivializes God and it trivializes science. The universe is like the hand of God. The world is God's body.

  • The scientific picture of the world championed since the Enlightenment is not just wrong but massively wrong. Indeed entire fields of inquiry, especially in the human sciences, will need to be rethought from the ground up in terms of intelligent design.

    William A. Dembski (2002). “Intelligent Design: The Bridge Between Science & Theology”, p.224, InterVarsity Press
  • There is absolutely no scientific basis or evidence for 'intelligent design.' It is simply a religious assertion, and it has no place in a science course.

  • I personally cannot discern a shred of evidence for ‘[intelligent] design.’ If 97% of all creatures have gone extinct, some plan isn't working very well!

  • Intelligent design is a philosophy of ignorance.

    "Biography/ Personal Quotes". www.imdb.com.
  • James Russell offers a timely and compelling blueprint for a realistic transformation of America's energy consumption by refusing to fall victim to conventional thinking. Accessible?pragmatic even?Russell's proposals speak to goals on the immediate horizon and underscore the role that intelligent design can play now in America. On a longer horizon, his analysis points to a range of issues about land use, transportation, and coordination of public and private investments to which the design professions have an enormous contribution to make. Here design and policy find common ground.

  • As Karl Marx once noted: 'Hegel remarks somewhere that all great, world-historical facts and personages occur, as it were, twice. He forgot to add: the first time as tragedy, the second as farce.' William Jennings Bryan and the Scopes trial was a tragedy. The creationists and intelligent design theorists are a farce.

  • John McCain, who once called Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson 'forces of evil', has now come out for teaching intelligent design. That is sad, when smart people have to pretend to be so dumb to get elected.

  • No matter how much proponents of 'intelligent design' try to clothe their views in the apparel of science, it is what it is: religion. Whose intelligence? Whose design?

  • Science is a philosophy of discovery. Intelligent design is a philosophy of ignorance. You cannot build a program of discovery on the assumption that nobody is smart enough to figure out the answer to a problem.

    Neil deGrasse Tyson (2007). “Death by Black Hole: And Other Cosmic Quandaries”, p.361, W. W. Norton & Company
  • The more statistically improbable a thing is, the less we can believe that it just happened by blind chance. Superficially, the obvious alternative to chance is an intelligent Designer.

  • Everything is sort of built in a way that to me suggests intelligent design. But at the same time, there's a lot of things in life where you say to yourself, well, if this is God's plan, it's very peculiar. And you have to wonder about that guy's personality, the big guy's personality.

    "Stephen King On Growing Up, Believing In God And Getting Scared". "Fresh Air" with Terry Gross, www.npr.org. October 31, 2014.
  • First understand infinity then you will understand God and how evolution is intelligent design.

  • This most beautiful system of the sun, planets and comets, could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent and powerful Being.

    Sir Isaac Newton (2016). “Delphi Collected Works of Sir Isaac Newton (Illustrated)”, p.1023, Delphi Classics
  • Science is a philosophy of discovery; intelligent design is a philosophy of ignorance... Something fundamamental is going on in people's minds when they confront things they don't understnd.

  • Intelligent design cannot explain Darwinian evolution. Darwin's whole point is that variation and change are random and without higher purpose. We cannot imagine that God designed this disproof of His own existence.

  • The Intelligent Design movement starts with the recognition that "In the beginning was the Word," and "In the beginning God created." Establishing that point isn't enough, but it is absolutely essential to the rest of the gospel message.

    "Creation, Evolution, & Modern Science: Probing the Headlines that Impact Your Family". Book by Raymond G. Bohlin, 2000.
  • I don't know whether the universe contains any evidence of intelligent design, but I can assure you that thousands of everyday products do not.

  • I'm anticlerical, not antireligion. If somebody believes there is God, I'm not interested in trying to persuade that person there is no intelligent design to the universe. Where I become interested and wake up is about the temporal power of religion, things like prayer in schools, or Catholic-secular hospital mergers.

    Prayer   Believe   School  
  • You have to understand, in the current academic climate, Intelligent Design is like leprosy or heresy in times past. To be tagged as an ID supporter is to become an academic pariah, and this holds even at so-called Christian institutions that place a premium on respectability at the expense of truth and the offense of the Gospel.

  • I am a firm believer in intelligent design as a matter of faith and intellect, and I believe it should be presented in schools alongside the theories of evolution.

    "2010 The Vote: K-12 Education". San Angelo Times, September 11, 2010.
  • There's no obvious reason to assume that the very same rare properties that allow for our existence would also provide the best overall setting to make discoveries about the world around us. We don't think this is merely coincidental. It cries out for another explanation, an explanation that... points to purpose and intelligent design in the cosmos.

    Guillermo Gonzalez, Jay Wesley Richards (2004). “The Privileged Planet: How Our Place in the Cosmos Is Designed for Discovery”, p.15, Regnery Publishing
