What is the evidence for intelligent design? Originally Answered: What evidence can you provide for intelligent design?

Dembski has advanced the argument for complex specified information in his 1998 book, “The Design Inference.” Later books by both expand on these topics but don’t really add much of substance. To understand Intelligent Design, you must understand these concepts. Each is discussed below. IRREDUCIBLE COMPLEXITY (“IC”): IC generally argues that certain biological systems could not have evolved. These biological systems contain parts that are “irreducible complex,” meaning that, if the part is removed from the system, then the system will fail. Evolution works on pre-existing materials.
