Natural Processes
Natural Processes as the Complete Explanation
One explanation of the evidence is that physical laws, chemistry, chance events, and evolutionary mechanisms are sufficient to account for the universe and living systems without intelligent direction.
Chance And Necessity
Chance, Necessity, and Selection Effects
Some apparently remarkable features may result from physical necessity, chance, selection effects, or combinations of these rather than intelligent design.
Inference To Best Explanation
Inference to the Best Explanation
The design question can be approached by comparing competing explanations and asking which best accounts for the evidence rather than demanding absolute proof.
Design
Intelligent Causation as an Explanation
Intelligent Design proposes intelligence as a positive causal explanation because intelligent agents are known to produce information-rich, functionally organized, and purposefully coordinated systems.
Cumulative Case
The Cumulative Case for Design
The case for design may depend less upon any single observation than upon whether several independent lines of evidence converge on the same explanation.
