- "Why 'Intelligent Design' (ID) is not science." Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal. Retrieved 1.30.08 - "One of the most important characteristics of scientific hypotheses and theories is the predictive power they provide. ID does not offer any new explanation or observation about these complex structures that the Theory of Evolution does not already provide. The observation that some structures in organisms are too complex to have originated from gradual change will not help scientists to develop a better antibiotic, for example."
