Creationists are holding up a hypothesis of intelligent design in support of creationism. What proof is there for this hypothesis?

Intelligent Design is really just Creationism wearing a different color uniform. Same principle, same ideas, just renamed to sound "scientific. " The vast majority of the arguments that support Intelligent Design are nothing but rhetoric and philosophy Answer The answer depends on what proof you want.As for physical proof that there is an intelligent designer, there really is none, though Creationists may beg to differ.

But there are theories that support the idea of intelligent design that use reason and logic as means to prove intelligent design. St.Thomas Aquinas gave 5 different arguments of reason in order to support the theory of some sort of intelligent designer. Some of these arguments were derived from Aristotle (such as the Unmoved Mover) and most are used in Christian Apologetics The first argument is the Cosmological Argument which is also known as the Unmoved Mover.

The following is how the argument goes: Some things are moved Everything that is moved is moved by a mover An infinite regress of movers is impossible (Let's say A is moved by B and B is moved by C and C is moved by D, and so on and so forth, at some point there needs to be something that is unmoved to start the reaction) Therefore, there is an unmoved mover from whom all motion proceeds This mover is what we call God The second argument is the nearly the same as the Cosmological Argument and is known as the Primum Movens or First Cause Argument. It is also called the Uncaused Cause. The following is how the argument goes: Some things are caused Everything that is caused is caused by something else An infinite regress of causation is impossible Therefore, there must be an uncaused cause of all caused things This causer is what we call God The third argument is called the Contingency Argument The following is how the argument goes: Many things in the universe may either exist or not exist.

Such things are called contingent beings It is impossible for everything in the universe to be contingent, as something can't come of nothing, and if traced back eventually there must have been one thing from which all others have occurred Therefore, there must be a necessary being whose existence is not contingent on any other being(s) This being is what we call God The fourth argument is called the Degrees of Perfection Argument The following is how the argument goes: Various perfections may be found in varying degrees throughout the universe These degrees of perfections assume the existence of the perfections themselves The pinnacle of perfection, from which lesser degrees of perfection derive, is what we call God The syllogistic form of this argument proposed by Robert J. Schihl follows: Objects have properties to greater or lesser extents If an object has a property to a lesser extent, then there exists some other object that has the property to the maximum possible degree So there is an entity that has all properties to the maximum possible degree Hence God exists The fifth argument is the Teleological Argument or the design argument. This argument is perhaps the most popular among believers of intelligent design.

The argument basically states that the world indicates intelligence and design, thus there must be an intelligent designer. The argument goes as follows: All natural bodies in the world act for ends These objects are in themselves unintelligent To act for ends is characteristic of intelligence Therefore, there exists an intelligent being which guides all natural bodies to their ends This being we call God.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
