So, apparently the fact that Stephen King (critical of organized religion and politically left-wing) now endorses Intelligent Design is news. This might only be news to people who never really inquired into the subject of ID. . Most Atheists, Agnostics and Theistic Evolutionists have long just dismissed Intelligent Design proponents as Right-wing scientifically-illiterate fundamentalists. . This is easily demonstrably false when you consider some of the people whove accepted the various ID arguments as valid: . •Thomas Nagel: An atheist and author of Mind and Cosmos: Why the Materialist Neo-Darwinian Conception of Nature Is Almost Certainly False . He concedes to the Argument from Consciousness for ID. . •Anthony Flew: Nicknamed the Worlds most notorious Atheist wrote 30 books on the subject of Atheism and ended up converting to Deism due to evidence presented in Biological ID. He wrote about it in his book There Is a God: How the Worlds Most Notorious Atheist Changed His Mind . This again relates to the Biological Intelligent Design Theory. . •Bradley Monton: Another Atheist defended the strength and legitimacy of ID as a scientific theory on multiple occasions, while not being a proponent himself, and deconstructs the myth that Methodological Naturalism is fundamental to the Scientific Method in his book Seeking God in Science: An Atheist Defends Intelligent Design . He admits that the Cosmological Intelligent Design Theory is strong enough to make him less certain about his Atheism. . •Where is the Right-wing religious fundamentalism in Nagel, Flew or Monton? . •Who else thinks Intelligent Design is real Science (Only considering ATHEISTS and AGNOSTICS)? I can name a three off the top of my head: . 1. philpapers.org/rec/SARTSQ 2. https://docs.google/viewer?a=v&pid=sites&srcid=ZGVmYXVsdGRvbWFpbnxtYWFydGVuYm91ZHJ5fGd4OjdkNWYwODkxMjJhN2M5NDI 3. evolutionnews.org/2012/12/an_acceptable_i067711.html . Not to mention that its not just Fundamentalist Christians who support ID, but there are also Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Agnostics and Atheists (The Simulation Hypothesis, Alien design and Directed Panspermia are DE FACTO forms of NON-THEISTIC ID) who support ID. . Also, one final point. ID is NOT Young Earth Creationism. I refuse to entertain any bullshit comment equivocating ID, YEC or OEC. . •https://answersingenesis.org/media/video/creation/intelligent-design-movement-christian/ •evolutionnews.org/2014/01/we_dont_have_to081021.html
