an effort to empirically detect whether the 'apparent design' in nature acknowledged by virtually all biologists is genuine design

The '''intelligent Design''' (ID) argument is a critique of the theory of [[evolution through natural selection]] on the basis that life and other aspects of the physical universe are too complex to have come about through natural processes alone. Thus various features of the universe and of living things are best explained by a designer and not by undirected processes. <ref>http://www.discovery.org/scripts/viewDB/index.php?command=view&id=2348</ref><ref>http://www.discovery.org/scripts/viewDB/index.php?command=view&id=2834&program=CSC%20-%20Scientific%20Research%20and%20Scholarship%20-%20History%20and%20Philosophy%20of%20Science</ref><ref>http://www.discovery.org/scripts/viewDB/index.php?command=view&id=2571</ref><ref>http://www.arn.org/idfaq/What%20is%20intelligent%20design.htm</ref>

:"The theory of Intelligent Design is simply an effort to empirically detect whether the 'apparent design' in nature acknowledged by virtually all biologists is genuine design (the product of an intelligent cause) or is simply the product of an undirected process such as natural selection acting on random variations."

Although [[evolutionists]] typically insist that natural processes alone are sufficient to account for biological evolution, the [[irreducible complexity]] of cellular structures such as the [[flagellum]] are too intricate to have come about through the agency of random natural causes. Indeed, [[natural selection]] itself would nip any changes in the bud before they could accumulate to create anything so complex as a "[[molecular machine]]".
