Intelligent Design Movement

The Intelligent Design Movement is a viewpoint that argues certain features of the universe and living organisms are best explained by an intelligent cause rather than random processes like evolution. Proponents suggest that some biological complexities, such as the complexity of DNA or intricate cellular systems, indicate a purposeful design. They advocate for this perspective as a scientific alternative to evolutionary theory, although it has faced criticism from many scientists who argue it lacks empirical support and is more philosophical than scientific. The movement has sparked significant debate in educational and religious contexts.
