I've seen this program. Very compelling evidence. Worth the time.

Intelligent Design is a far cry from Creationism but does give credit where credit is due.

Arguments: God of gaps vs. id. vs. naturalism/materialism

A gap argument: Stars are miracles so God is obviously responsible - the end.
A telic/id argument: A reduction by one part in a million million would have led to collapse before the temperatures could fall below ten thousand degrees. An early increase by one part in a million would have prevented the growth of galaxies, stars, and planets.
A response from naturalism/materialism: Your legs are exactly as long as they need to be to reach the ground - so what. (see the ‘gap argument’ above as it avoids any consideration due to an a priori belief)

A gap argument: We don't know what the cosmological constant should be but God did it therefore it is just right.
A telic/id argument: On general principles we know what the cosmological constants should be, roughly. It turns out to be 120 orders of magnitude smaller than expected.
A response from naturalism/materialism: If you legs were 10% shorter, you'd hover above the ground as you walked. If they were 10% longer, you'd have to have someone dig holes for you to step into in order to walk. (again, see the ‘gap argument’ above as it avoids any consideration due to an a priori belief)

>>>Intelligent Design Scientists Will Showcase Evidence Challenging Evolution at Knoxville Conference.<<<

If life was created by "Intelligent" Design, then how do you explain liberals?
