Introduction  (?)
When a new scientific theory begins to emerge, finding the appropriate field (or fields) of study to which the theory belongs can be very important to its continued viability. There are currently many different views about which field Intelligent Design belongs under.

• Stand Alone: Intelligent Design as a scientific hypothesis that will stand alone as a different field altogether, and which will have applicability to many other fields. Like evolution is present in so many other fields: cosmic evolution in Cosmology, stellar evolution in Astrophysics, biological evolution in biology, and molecular evolution in biochemistry.
• Non-Converging: different ID sub-hypotheses can exist within their appropriate fields indefinitely.
• Converging: ID progresses from segmentation to convergence as independent ID hypotheses grow and mature in their respective fields.
• Intelligent Design as Philosophy: ID should be presently restricted to philosophy and the speculative research domain.
• Not Science: ID is religion and cannot be investigated as a scientific undertaking.

Definition  (?)

Explore what field or fields Intelligent Design may belong to.

Objectives  (?)

Propose a workable model from which Intelligent Design can proceed with regard to its proper field or fields of study.

Questions  (?)

• Does ID belong to specific fields?
• What fields?
• Is ID its own field?
• How does ID, as a seperate field, relate to other fields of science?

Keywords  (?)

fields of study, domain of science, pure science

Monographs  (?)

--- ! Begin monographs instructions ! ---

• 1-10 of the most relevant published texts. This could be books, articles, or any hard copy resource. Cite in this format:

Title of Resource, Author Name, ISBN (number)

• Be sure to include the characters 'ISBN' before entering the actual number, that way we can compile a site-wide bibliography by doing a search for 'ISBN'.
• Including the ISBN number also gives a hyperlink to sites where they can purchase the book.
• If Peer Reviewed writings, please designate type of peer review:
  • (p.r.) indicates that a work is peer reviewed by a mainstream journal
  • (p.r.I.D.) indicates that a work is peer reviewed by an ID journal

• The most useful critiques of this research application, included here as a simple title with a hyperlink or citation.
• This section is not for the inclusion of a critical abstract, only links or citations.
• (1-10 links or citations)

Status  (?)

--- ! Begin status instructions ! ---

• Select one: 'Current' or 'Potential'
• 'Current' means that there is a researcher/group that has published and/or are working on the research theme.
  • A researcher/group that is undertaking this study openly and explicitly as an ID application is preferred for this entry.
• 'Potential' means that it is not known whether a researcher/group is working on this research application.

• Other questions that follow from this application that would be worthy of investigation.
• Entries in the 'Extend' section could have high potential for becoming new research applications.
• (700 characters or less)

Notes  (?)

--- ! Begin notes instructions ! ---

• Use the citation and notation style of choice for the field, or the style that you would prefer use. Consistency within the article is the goal. If you want some ideas on style, check out Wikipedia's citation style examples.
• How to use "wikified" citations.

In the text, type in:

 {{ref|descriptionname}} 

In the "Notes" section, type in:

 # {{note|descriptionname}} 

• All of the notes under this section should be surrounded by these "div style" tags in order to make the text smaller:

<div style="font-size: 85%"> </div>

• Be sure to remove the nowiki tags to allow the div tags to take effect.
