      ab: This essay traces the history behind intelligent design theory. Saint Augustine discussed natural theology in his fifth-century work "The City of God," but it was nearly a thousand years later that it achieved canonical status through Saint Thomas Aquinas, who highlighted this argument—now known as the "Argument from Design" as one of the five valid proofs for God's existence. According to Scottish philosopher David Hume, rather than a single designer, it is far more reasonable to conclude that there is a squad of designers and that the world is neither the first nor the last. It was argued by evolutionist Charles Darwin that between organisms there is an ongoing struggle for existence. Evolution became more than a theory in the late nineteenth century in the American North. Scientific Creationism or Creation Science emerged in the U.S. in 1981.
