The Top-Ten Misinformed Objections to ID
1. Intelligent Design is not true because there are no real scientists who
support it.
2. Intelligent Design is not true because it is not published in peer-reviewed
journals.
3. Intelligent Design is not true because it is a God-of-the-gaps argument.
4. ID is not true because it is not fully naturalistic.
5. ID is not true because it is against naturalism.
6. ID is not true because there are finches on the Galapagos Islands that
undergo cyclical variations in beak sizes, moths that are black and can hide
from birds on dark colored trees, and insects and bacteria that evolve
resistance to pesticides and antibiotics.
7. ID is not true because I consider myself an intelligent person, and although
I havent read any ID publications or really studied it very much, intelligent
people agree that ID isnt true. Intelligent people I know (who may or may not
have studied ID) laugh at advocates of ID, and I hate being laughed at
8. ID is not true because it is religion.
9. ID is not true because it is religiously motivated.
10. ID is not true because it has religious implications.
