In the contemporary world, especially United States, people argue about the topics to be educating the young generations and people face with problems on controversial specific topics such as Creationism and Intelligent Design. Creationism is the argument of supernatural God like entity created the physical universe and Intelligent Design, is differ from Creationism, means that it is a scientific based upon the argument of nature cannot create too complex species thus this must be the actions of an intelligent design. People argue against the intelligent design for not being genuine scientific theory. However, the elements of scientific thinking support the claim that Intelligent Design can be a …show more content…
Scientific theory can be tested with repetition through experimentations. Scientific thinking is part of producing a scientific theory. The main important part is the scientific thinking since it is the basic foundation of sciences. However, it is important to know that critical thinking is a general term and is a part of scientific thinking. Steven D. Schafersman, the author of An Introduction to Science: Scientific Thinking and the Scientific Method, said about science that “science is a method of discovering reliable knowledge about nature.” Scientific thinking is the essential process to do in order to produce a scientific material. Schafersman believes that scientific thinking has three criteria which are Empiricism, Rationalism and Skepticism. Empiricism is hard evidence which can be detected with the eyes, hear with the ears, touch with the skin, taste with the mouth or smell with the nose.

Rationalism is the correctly reasoning the question …show more content…
Rationalism is logically thinking regarding with observed phenomena. The observed phenomena in these situations are generally studying microbiology, genetics or paleontology. Such studies have shown data which supports that claims of Intelligent Design Theory. For example, according to the discovery.org, the scientists from paleontology field has found sudden changes in animals features thus theory of evolution must not be true and supports the theory of Intelligent Design. Through rational thinking, the natural selection or Darwinism claims does contradicts with data from paleontologists since there are sudden changes in biology of species. This also supports that an Intelligent Design was implemented. Thus, Theory of Intelligent Design passed the second element of scientific
