Intelligent design is theory that states that the world was created by a certain designer, and proposes 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."(Wikipedia) Many people who believe in intelligent design say that it's not at all religious, and that the intelligent designer is not God. It is hard to believe in something like that when there is no evidence to prove that an intelligent designer exists, or ever existed. Intelligent Design is even defined as a type of creationism. There are some though, that believe that aliens created the earth and they call themselves Raelians. They are atheist, and believe in Intelligent design. Once again there has been very little evidence, and a man name Claude Vorilhon says that he was approached by an alien in 1973. He has since been re-named Rael, and is the founder of the Raelian religion. Although he has many followers, he also has many ex-raelians who disagree with his theory. (http://raelian.com/en/).The religious side of Intelligent design would be creationism. Creationism believes that a super being created the world and universe. It is a religious theory. To prove that there is an intelligent designer, there needs to be inductive evidence (evidence that supports a strong argument which would state that that argument is probably true) to make it more believable.
