The common, typical use of "Intelligent Design" is a thin veil over a deity of some sort being behind it, but your use is not. Is this intentional?

- sp332 12y agoIntelligent Design doesn't imply a belief in any particular god(s) or even necessarily a supernatural being. Just that life and/or the visible universe was created according to some intelligent rules and not by random chance.
- adeptus 12y agoAliens = "some sort of being", or if you prefer, all-powerful beings that can appear/disappear at will, travel 1/2 the universe in the blink of an eye, paralyze you at will, erase your memory, time travel, defy gravity etc.... many non-scientists might call that a deity. I call them technologically advanced aliens.
- classicsnoot 12y agoYes, i acknowledge the common use, but this is an uncommon place where i assumed most would notice the lack of capitalization. I may have erred in my assessment. I used those words because i could think of no other way to say it and seem like i was not trolling. Alien technology? Super beings making stop lights out of cosmic phenomena? The ripples from the horrible atrocities committed in the Gear Wars? In truth, i do not think it is anything so special as that, but what i think is irrelevant. What is relevant is that using the data gathered as well as the data already held 'we' should be able to eliminate a few possibilities. To reiterate, i have no idea how one or ones would go about this process of elimination; i was just wondering if there was a simple fact or basic set of facts that would negate the possibility of the phenomenon being designed by an intelligent creature or creatures.
