"The theory of intelligent design holds 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."
Much of the science establishment holds the view that any mind or intelligence beyond the material universe cannot be considered. But what if some things in the material universe show evidence that they were designed intelligently and intentionally?
Biologist and famous atheist Richard Dawkins says that they simply appear to be designed, but are not. Can he prove they only appear to be designed? No he can't.
Believers in God are open to the possibility of design in some features of nature. But nonbelievers are not open to that possibility, because it could give evidence to the reality of God. If you think there's nothing except the material world, then nothing could have shown the foresight to plan and design the material world.
Marcus Eberlin just published a book that shows which side of this divide he is on. It's called: Foresight: How the Chemistry of Life Reveals Planning and Purpose
