ID-biotics
From ResearchID.org
A research area under ID-empirics is ID-biotics. This is the empirical study of biological organisms and cellular structures with ID-Paradigmatic premises. Irreducible Complexity, formulated by Michael Behe, is thought to be the type of research that can spawn a myriad of research applications for biology. As Jonathan Wells studies the [role and cellular function of centrioles], he has employed an ad hoc ID-heuristic. Ralph Seelke and John Sanford are testing the limits of evolution by studying the relationship among the phenomena of mutagenesis and morphogenesis. Scott Minnich is using an ad hoc ID-heuristic to develop reverse engineering applications in genetics and microbiology. Protein evolution is being investigated by Michael Behe and David Snoke in the context of ID-Paradigmatic principles. Neuroscience and the physiological study of blood flow to the brain have also been empirically investigated by utilizing ID-paradigmatic premises. Karl D. Stephan and other ID theorists are studying evolutionary algorithms and how they relate to real populations in nature.
Of special note under ID-biotics is its conceptual joining with certain aspects of ID-theoretics and ID-technics. The explicit connection in ID-theoretics between biological technologies and human technologies immediately leads to biomimetics, which asks how our artificial technology can emulate natural structures and even whole organisms. Non-ID scientists are already exploring this connection, yet with conceptual handicaps that the ID-paradigmatic will resolve through its robust heuristic and synergistic approach. Scientists are currently researching how to write an artificial genetic code and are attempting to "create life from scratch."
