Aufrühren can the people support intelligent design and evolution, according to new research influence the thoughts of death.
The paper conducted by researchers at the University of British Columbia, in detail the results from five studies in the journal PLoS ONE. The team found, that existential thoughts, or such, were people in which reminded of their own mortality, topics that display theory of intelligent design engage led.
In accordance with the scientific community the authors say that evolution, in particular descent with modification by natural selection, is largely accepted as a way to study biological change in the course of time.
Intelligent design, within the meaning of the authors, "suggests that naturalistic accounts is not sufficient, are to explain complex biological phenomena, and therefore a smart and probably supernatural"designer"for the origin of life is responsible." This theory is not the same as creationism.
Despite the fact that fallen 43 percent of Americans teaching for his missing scientific intelligent design alongside evolution in the classroom, the theory claims support, write the authors. This is also in line with scientific consensus.
So why support people intelligent design without scientific proof, in particular, if backed up claims on the evolution of science?

The need to preserve the psychological security could play a role.
In four trials were about 1,400 theme-college students and adults in Canada and the United State-asked about their feelings to write to their own death present. Group was said to read passages on evolution and intelligent design. Then, subjects rated the expertise of the author and her own belief in a particular theory reported.
In you study one-fifth, 269 students asked researchers to present similar questions with an intelligent design approach and a naturalist passage written by Carl Sagan.
The team found that intelligent design favoring necessarily was not bound to religion or education. Rather parts people similar emotional reactions in the face of existential thoughts. Because intelligent design favored the idea, that human life was deliberately created instead of random natural processes that authors write, it makes sense for people in the direction of explanations lean, to manage the human meaning in the universe.
But under the conditions in which issues of Carl Sagan's passage were exposed to, people were more likely, a naturalistic approach evaluate more conveniently, perhaps because it supports evolution and at the same time human uniqueness in the cosmos.
