DID YOU KNOW: The End of the Intelligent Design Debate Has Arrived
Brian Miller, reporting for Evolution News & Science Today, claims the debate that has raged for several decades over whether we evolved from primordial muck or are the products of an intelligent designer is just about completed.

You may be surprised by who he declares the winner and from which scientific field come the grounds for that declaration. Here are Miller’s opening graphs:
This past June, the Center for Science & Culture hosted the Conference on Engineering in Living Systems (CELS). The presenters demonstrated how applying engineering principles and tools to biological research yields profound insights into the operations of living systems and the logic behind their design.
This content was fully anticipated by the attendees. The presentation that came as somewhat of a surprise showcased the extent to which the sub-discipline of systems biology has for the last few decades often operated within what is almost indistinguishable from a fully design-based framework.
Much of the research within the field has effectively replaced evolutionary assumptions with design-based assumptions, language, and tools of investigation. This scientific revolution, which has only just begun, raises the question of whether the debate over intelligent design has come to an end.
