Activity 1: Part 3-What is Intelligent Design?

From wikipedia...

Intelligent design movement [was believe to have] as a beginning in 1984 when Jon A. Buell's religious organization the Foundation for Thought and Ethics (FTE) published The Mystery of Life's Origin by creationist chemist Charles B. Thaxton.

"Intelligent design" became more known in response to the 1987 United States Supreme Court Edwards v. Aguillard ruling involving separation of church and state.[3] Its first significant published use was in Of Pandas and People, a 1989 textbook intended for high-school biology classes.

It's vital for all Biology teachers to understand what Intelligent Design is and what is the current working definition? Reply to these two questions:

1. What is your definition of Intelligent Design?
2. What is the current working definition? (from what source did you find from?)
