Summary/Abstract: Some issues of the theory of Intelligent Design (ID) are discussed in detail.

A few examples of data interpretations supporting the theory of evolution are examined. The metaphysical nature of ID is clarified. Living organisms are compared to non-living thermodynamic systems. Finally, the article looks at some implications of the theory of evolution for social processes.
