The sub-field of intelligent design that provides general frameworks for undertaking scientific research is ID-programmatics. A research program will typically give unique research goals and methods of meeting those goals.

Current ID-programmatics

[edit]

Discovery Institute program

The most notable program is the research structure at the Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture, which has facilitated the concepts of Specified Complexity by William Dembski, Irreducible Complexity by Michael Behe, and the Privileged Planet hypothesis of Guillermo Gonzalez.

For more information on this program, visit http://www.discovery.org/csc.

Methodological Designism

Del Ratzsch has proposed research views based on realism, anti-realism, instrumentalism, and heuristics that he termed, "methodological designism."

For more information on methodological designism, refer to Del Ratzsch's Nature, Design, and Science, SUNY 2001, ISBN 0791448940.

Metascientific program

Robin Collins has proposed a research program wherein intelligent design is generally taken as a metascientific perspective, with individual proposals that are scientifically tractable.

For more information on Collins' program, refer to A CRITICAL EVALUATION OF THE INTELLIGENT DESIGN PROGRAM.

[edit]

Mind-design program

Stephen Griffith has proposed a research program that would strengthen the ID-paradigmatic by a goal-oriented exploration of mind/intelligence and how it affects the physical world.

For more information on Griffith's mind-design program, refer to his paper in PCID, "Empiricism and Design"

[edit]

ID-heuristics program

One of the ID research programs being developed here at ResearchID.org.

[edit]

Cognitive-Theoretic program

Christopher Langan has proposed a Cognitive-Theoretic Model of cosmology and Reality Theory that has the potential of developing a unique ID research program.

For more information on the Cognitive-Theoretic program, refer to Langan's paper on his model in PCID, "The Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe: A New Kind of Reality Theory"

[edit]

Multiple Designers Theory (MDT)

Based on the idea of delineating the action of more than one acting intelligence, some in the ID community view Multiple Designers Theory as an attempt to derail ID. At the same time, some see merit in the ideas proposed.
