When Biologists Think Like Engineers: How the Burgeoning Field of Systems Biology Supports Intelligent Design

Wikipedia's infamously biased, rule-violating, and error-filed entry on intelligent design states that "any appeal to an intelligent creator is explicitly excluded for the paralyzing effect it may have on the scientific progress." But what if scientists are already using intelligent-design reasoning to study life? What if they are treating biological systems as if they are designed, and what if this approach turns out to be scientifically fruitful?

What if many scientists are doing this and...
