Are all books printed or some of them have been somehow assembled together with the meaning of the written content by mindless forces such
as wind and rain?
How does one infer that an object that they encounter was the product of purposeful creation or that it was the result of mindless forces acting on some matter?
This question is a very important problem that everyone solves many times every day. Suppose that someone pushed you on the street – you immediately decide if that
was an accident or purposeful action. You use your decision to direct your responding actions: will you smile and excuse the person, or you may decide to take a
position and demand an apology, ignore them or run. The correct answer of the question whether an object or an action (which is also an object in the space of
functions) was designed or accidental is clearly fundamental for how we perceive the world and how we understand it. It is therefore fundamental that we always
give correct answer of this question or else we will build fallacious model of the universe in our minds which will inevitably lead to disappointments and unhappiness.
Intelligent design is a scientific research program created by a community of scientists, philosophers and other scholars who seek evidence of design in nature.
The documentary below is an interesting introduction to the subject.
