NYT Jan 19, 2006 garoldstone Thu, 19 Jan 2006 20:26:00 GMT http://www.skepdic.com/intelligentdesign.html Intelligent design (ID) is an anti-evolution belief that asserts that naturalistic explanations of some biological entities are not possible and such entities can only be explained by intelligent causes. Advocates of ID maintain that their belief is scientific and provides empirical proof for the existence of God or superintelligent aliens. They claim that intelligent design should be taught in the science classroom as an alternative to the science of evolution. garoldstone Tue, 23 May 2006 18:02:42 GMT http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5007508&ampsourceCode=RSS Sternberg was the editor of an obscure scientific journal loosely affiliated with the Smithsonian Institution, where he is also a research associate.
