The Intelligent Design theory and the Evolution Theory have been at war science supremacy for over 100 years. Evolution is winning the war on science right now but evolutionists often fail to look at the counterarguments from creationists while creationists are forced to counter Evolution. In today’s mainstream society, evolution is widely accepted as fact and is taught in schools but I think Intelligent Design could also be taught in schools. I believe that Intelligent Design is just as viable theory as Evolution. Intelligent design has many answers to pressing questions that Evolution can’t answer but Evolutionists make sure that the Intelligent Design arguments don’t appear in schools at all and punish teachers who talk about Evolution negatively in school. Evolution and Intelligent Design have many differences. The nervous system and animal diversity support the theory of intelligent design while evolutionists say that natural selection led to this complexity and diversity.
Intelligent Design is an alternative theory to …show more content…

Many neurons, or nerve cells, clump together to create nerves which makes up the entirety of the peripheral nervous system. The nervous system is irreducibly complex which as Michael Behe puts it in his book, Darwin's Black Box, "a single system composed of several well-matched, interacting parts that contribute to the basic function, wherein the removal causes the system to effectively cease functioning" (Behe 39). If you remove a single part from these nerves then they lose their basic function according to Behe’s definition. Natural selection does not have an adequate response to this and often struggle to explain how a system this complex to could evolve in simple steps because this system needs to work without various parts until it gets or assemble the necessary parts, but if the system doesn’t work without all parts then natural selection cannot form that
