Intelligent Design

Intelligent Design (ID) is the idea that certain features of the universe and living organisms are best explained by an intelligent cause rather than by undirected processes like natural selection. Proponents argue that certain complexities, such as the intricate structures in biology, suggest a purposeful design. ID is often discussed in contrast to evolution, with supporters seeking to present it as a legitimate alternative perspective. However, it is not widely accepted in the scientific community, which maintains that the evidence supports evolutionary theory as the explanation for the diversity of life on Earth.
