Quote from the text: > As we've gone about making this documentary, we've met professors in the natural sciences who'll say, "Let me just show you this mountain of evidence," and they show us fossil after fossil. Are these things not evidence of evolution? >They all exist. The question is what are they evidence of? Are they evidence of a mindless and purposeless evolutionary process? It may be that there was a slow development of one kind of thing into something else. But the important question to me is: Could this all occur solely by unintelligent, purposeless, material processes? Can we say that that has been confirmed? The theory of evolution may be true in a sense, but it may require the participation of an intelligent cause. That is the basic intelligent-design proposition—that unintelligent causes by themselves can't do the whole job. That doesn't say that everything was created all at once. This is worth reading for those with open minds. It will give you an understanding of what the idea of "intelligent design" is really all about, divorced from the demonization of it by atheists. Intelligent design doesn't maintain that evolution doesn't exist; it maintains that rocks can't and won't turn themselves into fish and birds no matter how much time passes or how many intermediate steps are involved without conscious, deliberate intervention.
