Intelligent Design

The origin of humans is the most complex issues we face. I find it hard to explain to anyone who we are, or how we came to be. There is a great saying; the dead know only thing it's better to be alive. Like most people I wonder about the mysteries of the universe. Regardless of your personal perception three things are certain in this life. You are born, you pay taxes, and you will die. People have struggled to explain "the meaning of life." Are we all a bunch of ants in an experiment? One way people deal with this mystery is in the belief of a higher being. A loving God who will reward you if you are nice on earth.

When and were intelligent design occurs is impossible to prove or disprove, but they are skeptical about when and were species evolve. "This is a double standard." (Ushma, Neil). Intelligent design doesn't exist as an academic field, but it is religion in disguise. I have no problem with faith, but when faith brought up outside of one's home, I tend to have a problem with that.
