y do they call it intelligent design if god created only 1 planet with life in a huge universe. wat a waste of space

Are you asking for real?

yep

Well...it`s like this...ummm...er...hmmm...*cough...well, read the bible. The answer`s in there somewhere.

Intelligent design (ID) is the concept that "certain features of the universe and of living things are best explained by an intelligent cause, not an undirected process such as natural selection." (Source).

Doesn't mean that the guy was actually intelligent , just that things were deliberately designed the way they are, as opposed to the random sequence of events (big bang, evolution etc.) explained by science.

Intelligent design is an offering by religious peoples to have creationism taught (or at least accepted) in the school system, as opposed to chance/ocurrence/evolution being the only alternative.

I don't think God made just one world....I believe thats man ego needing to believe we are the only one's....But if you have a God who can make one world why would he want to stop with just that...Think about it...each time he could make up-grade's until he got it just the way he wanted it.....

id doesnt mention that extraterrestrial life exists, not even the possibility

That's why schools refuse to teach creationism and ID...

i dont get y any religions refuse to consider the possibility of other life

Intelligent Design is a very interesting theory - with some decent science behind it - that has been hijacked by the religious right to push it's creationism agenda. Therfore anytime somebody says "intelligent design" everybody automatically thinks of Christianity and God creating the world in 6 days 6000 years ago.

It's really too bad. Just try to do a web search on ID to get real information...all you get are religious sites.

but they never mention that they reject life existing out in the cosmos

They don't reject life existing in the cosmos. In the bible it never says, "And God created only one planet with life on it". So it's possible that He created more than just one planet with life. Thats of course if you believe God created the universe.

Two instances in the Bible that may be interpreted as lenient towards otherworldly figures are Daniel 10, and Revelation 12. I do not believe that I have heard this commented on by others, but rather this is how it MAY be viewed.
If you read different interpretations, and keep an open mind, an association could be made.
I don't think anyone could understand what God's intentions are for human wisdom, to know things that so many would not want known.

The raelians consider the possibility of ETI but i don't think many others do. thou there are always the people that say Quetzacoatl or Mithra or even Jesus was an Alien.

no my state this year is forcing schools to teach some ID,morons,charles drawin is spinning is his grave, I hate Intellgent design

The 'Intelligent Design' concept is based on faith, not on science.
It relies on supposition, and blind belief, rather than any kind of verifiable proof.

It is Creationism by another name, and appeals to the semi-illiterate lunatic fringe of society.

What's worse, is that the ID advocates tap ALL unconventional theories of creation, and then scurry back to their enclaves of idiocy, without even TRYING to prove their point without measurable, verifiable facts.
