Design? Yes! But Is It Intelligent?
Journal Title: Filozoficzne Aspekty Genezy - Year 2006, Vol 3, Issue 0
Abstract
Author takes into account various themes concerning intelligent design theory. The subject of his considerations are: scientific value of intelligent design theory; distinction between metaphysical and methodological naturalism and its role in the scientific practice as well as its meaning for the scientists who believes in God; relationship between science and religion on the example of NOMA (Non-Overlapping MAgisteria) principle which was formulated by Stephen Jay Gould; and finally the issue of teaching science – for example, whether also creationist concepts should be discussed in science classes.
