The thrust of this strategy is to try to cast doubt on the scientific validity of 'Darwinism', i.e., the Theory of Evolution, by misrepresenttion, misinformation and downright lies, to present Intelligent Design creationism as a genuine alternative scientific explanation for biodiversity, a strategy that relies on the false dichotomy fallacy that if evolution is false, creationism wins by default.
How they have been persuing this strategy is exposed in this AI-generated spoof ID advocates handbook, based on a systematic analysis and distillation of the tricks, lies and disinformation promulgated by ID advocates under the leadership of the Discovery Institute over several decade, which has become more concerted since the movement lost badly in Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District in which ID was exposed as creationism in a lab coat. In that trial, leading ID advocate, Professor Michael J. Behe, whose views have been repudiated by his colleagues at Lehigh University Biological Science Department, was forced to admit under oath that ID is science in the same way that alchemy and astrology are science, and that:
There are no peer reviewed articles by anyone advocating for intelligent design supported by pertinent experiments or calculations which provide detailed rigorous accounts of how intelligent design of any biological system occurred.

From the preamble to the handbook:
How AI Helped Expose the Secrets of Intelligent Design Advocacy
In an era where artificial intelligence (AI) can analyse patterns, summarize vast amounts of information, and distil complex ideas into digestible formats, it was only a matter of time before someone asked it to expose the playbook of Intelligent Design advocacy.
This spoof manual is the result of just such an experiment. By drawing on publicly available information, historical case studies, and the documented strategies of Intelligent Design (ID) proponents, AI has pieced together a comprehensive guide to the rhetorical and ideological tactics used to promote ID.
Why AI?
AI is uniquely suited to this task because it:How It Worked:
- Analyses Patterns: AI can identify recurring themes and strategies across decades of ID campaigns.
- Remains Unbiased: Unlike humans, AI has no dog in the fight—it simply processes data and delivers insights.
- Connects the Dots: From courtroom testimonies to viral memes, AI links disparate elements into a cohesive narrative.
The process was straightforward:What This Means:
- Data Collection: AI reviewed documented statements, publications, and public campaigns by prominent ID advocates and organizations like the Discovery Institute.
- Pattern Recognition: Recurring tactics—like misrepresenting evolution, appealing to authority, and framing ID as a persecuted underdog—were identified and categorized.
- Satirical Framing: The findings were then reframed with tongue firmly in cheek, creating a “manual” that mirrors the tactics while exposing their flaws.
The comprehensiveness of this manual isn’t a testament to AI’s creativity but rather to the transparency of ID advocacy tactics. When the same strategies are used repeatedly, they become predictable—even to a machine.
A Word of Caution:
While this manual is written as satire, it serves a serious purpose: to educate readers about the rhetorical tricks and intellectual sleights of hand used to undermine science education and public understanding of evolution. AI has simply laid bare what has long been hiding in plain sight.
So, as you read this spoof handbook, remember: every tactic described here is based on real-world examples. The absurdity lies not in the manual’s content but in the fact that these strategies are actually used.
