“Intelligent Design” (henceforth ID) is the view that the universe gives evidence of being the product of an intelligent designer. As such it is a very old view. Certainly this was the position of the biblical writers (as Ps. 19:1, Rom. 1:18-20). Historically, many have articulated this position by means of the “teleological argument:” that when unintelligent beings act for a purpose, they must be under the control of a personal intelligence.
