La evolución del diseño inteligente: entre religión y ciencia

Enrique Sandino Vargas, Marta Caccamo, Sumaya Hashim, Oskar Eng


Resumen

Este trabajo evalúa el diseño inteligente (DI) como una pseudociencia. La ciencia ha incorporado muchas definiciones; asimismo la pseudociencia. Ambas han sido discutidas en diversos ámbitos. En lo que atañe a la esfera política, están caracterizados por una pluralidad de conflictos de visiones en discusión. No existe una sola filosofía de la ciencia, y en consecuencia tampoco una sola metodología de la ciencia. Los criterios de demarcación no son una cuestión clara. Esto se torna problemático al evaluar el diseño inteligente. El diseño, en particular, tal como lo conciben los científicos que consideran que no hay razones para incluirlo en el campo científico en su pretensión de que carece de cientificidad. Lo que hacemos aquí es seleccionar un conjunto de definiciones de pseudociencia y ver si el DI satisface los criterios de demarcación. Dado que nuestra unidad de análisis es el DI, se plantea la pregunta si el diseño inteligente es una pseudociencia, o si se puede caracterizar el diseño inteligente como una o varias formas de pseudociencia.

Palabras clave

criterios de demarcación; diseño inteligente; naturalismo; pseudociencia; método científico

NOTA DESTE BLOGGER:

Um amigo destacou dois parágrafos deste artigo:
 

"The ID assumption is normative in that from its utterance; it requires the inference that anything, which is unexplainable by the naturalistic argument,
is designed. The scientific assumption is agnostic; it does not attribute all to evolution, it remains open-minded. In this sense, ID is pseudoscientific in that it fails to remain open-minded despite its lack of evidence and logical coherence."

Isso parece dizer que o DI é um argumento Designer das Lacunas, em vez de uma inferência a partir da complexidade especificada... e minimiza o modo que o Darwinismo atribui tudo à evolução.

Todavia, eles admitem:


"To the extent that both evolutionism and ID are based on unverifiable a priori metaphysical assumptions, on this level, ID remains comparably legitimate as the Darwinist argument. We cannot stake the assumptions of either paradigm against the other’s and claim that one is superior, as they are not comparable. In this sense, both ID and Darwinism remain sciences, legitimate under the axiom of their own a priori assumptions of the world and its creation."

Há anos salientamos que quaisquer críticas à TDI são, por tabela, críticas feitas à teoria da evolução de Darwin através da seleção natural e n mecanismos evolucionários (de A a Z, vai que um falhe...), pois sendo teorias de longo alcance histórico, a TDI e a Teoria da Evolução são metodologicamente idênticas!

Fui, nem sei por que pensando: Falem mal, mas falem da TDI...
