Abstract

This article presents an overview of "Intelligent Design" from three complementary perspectives. First, it examines the antecedents, the origins, the development, and the objectives of this movement. Second, it synthetically exposes the two most important ideas around which revolve its contributions to science: 1. irreducible complexity, and 2. the "design explanatory filter." Finally, it provides a reflection of an epistemological nature on the presuppositions which form the basis of its debate with Darwinism.
