I removed plthat word because it does not pertain to the concept of intelligent design, as that is not a science and no one claims it is. It is not an appropriate or fitting use of the word, adds no value, and can potentially confuse or mislead the reader. undo Tags: Manual revert Reverted Mobile edit Mobile web edit
