Intelligent Design is the theory that certain features of the universe and of living things are best explained by an intelligent cause, rather than natural processes, such as proscribed by the [[Theory of evolution]][http://www.discovery.org/csc/topQuestions.php]. Many design theorists leave the identity of the intelligent cause open.[http://www.ideacenter.org/contentmgr/showdetails.php/id/1341]. Some proponents, however, admit to believe the intelligent cause to be [[God]].

Recently, there have been articles which were favorable to the intelligent design position in scientific journals which traditionally have favored the macroevolutionary position. [http://www.discovery.org/scripts/viewDB/index.php?command=view&id=2640]

Many Intelligent Design advocates propose the "watch" analogy. Imagine one is walking along a beach, and suddenly encounters a wrist-watch. Given its relative sophistication vis-a-vis its environment, and the obvious non-random care with which it was made, does the wrist-watch pre-suppose an Intelligent Designer?
