Judgment Day -- Intelligent Design on Trial

Intelligent Design vs.
Darwinism

This is an quite entertainig docu about the upcoming of intelligent design in the US.

While in Europe these (pseudo?)-scientific theory doesn't get much attention, it's very prominent in the US. This film shows how in the US whole towns get in to discussion about the theory? Should it be thought at schools? Is this theory as a theory equal to Darwins theory of evolution?

But not only the voice of the average people are heard, but also the opinions of reseachers, who seems to have a pretty clear standpoint on this topic.

"Intelligent design is the assertion that "certain features of the universe and of living things are best explained by an intelligent cause, not an undirected process such as natural selection."It is a modern form of the traditional teleological argument for the existence of God, modified to avoid specifying the nature or identity of the designer. Its primary proponents, all of whom are associated with the Discovery Institute, believe the designer to be God.Advocates of intelligent design claim it is a scientific theory,and seek to fundamentally redefine science to accept supernatural explanations.

The unequivocal consensus in the scientific community is that intelligent design is not science." (wikipedia)
