Welcome to the ResearchID.org Glossary!
This page is the index for all glossary entries. Entries are arranged in alphabetical order. Click on the letter of the word you are searching for.
Glossary overview
This glossary is to clarify the research presented at ResearchID.org. It also serves as a fulcrum of discussion to aid conversations among our researchers who are pro-ID and anti-ID. At this time, it is not a general glossary of intelligent design. We hope that eventually it will contain enough information to be considered a general glossary.
Glossary format
The Glossary as a whole will be arranged alphabetically, with each letter having its own page that contains all of the terms that start with that letter. Each page will be named with the glossary namespace before the letter, ex: Glossary:Z.
A glossary entry is to be setup much like you would find in a typical book-style glossary. Simplicity is the goal for the glossary. A complete entry is made up of four parts:
- The term in level 5 headings
- A definition in unformatted text (limit of 300 characters)
- Local links at ResearchID.org to related research articles or glossary entries (the best 10)
- External links at other websites that are helpful in understanding this word (the best 10)

- In the future, if the alphabetical lists for the glossary get too big for this format, we will move all the entries to their own individual pages, but this will probably be a later development.
Glossary entries and research articles
Glossary entries will be maintained on words that already have research articles with the same title on ResearchID.org. Existing research articles should contain the information that is in the glossary entry, and additional details. A glossary entry that grows to the size of a research article can easily be converted into an article.
