Kiedy rzecznicy teorii inteligentnego projektu (ID) zaprzeczają, że ich teoria ma charakter religijny, opowiadają się za teorią minimalistyczną (teorią mini-ID), według której odkryte w naturze nieredukowalnie złożone adaptacje są dziełem jednego lub większej liczby inteligentnych projektantów. Nie uznają jej za religijną, ponieważ nie określa ona tożsamości projektanta – dzieła stworzenia mógł dokonać nadprzyrodzony Bóg lub grupa istot pozaziemskich. W niniejszym artykule próbuję wykazać, że teza ta bagatelizuje konsekwencje płynące z teorii mini-ID. Teoria mini-ID uzupełniona o kolejne cztery założenia, których wiarygodność została ustalona niezależnie, pociąga istnienie nadprzyrodzonego inteligentnego projektanta. W dalszej części artykułu dowodzę, że takie teorie naukowe, jak darwinowska teoria ewolucji, nie wypowiadają się na temat istnienia nadprzyrodzonych projektantów.

When proponents of Intelligent Design (ID) theory deny that their theory is religious, the minimalistic theory they have in mind (the mini-ID theory) is the claim that the irreducibly complex adaptations found in nature were made by one or more intelligent designers. The denial that this theory is religious rests on the fact that it does not specify the identity of the designer – a supernatural God or a team of extra-terrestrials could have done the work. The present paper attempts to show that this reply underestimates the commitments of the mini-ID Theory. The mini-ID theory, when supplemented with four independently plausible further assumptions, entails the existence of a supernatural intelligent designer. It is further argued that scientific theories, such as the Darwinian theory of evolution, are neutral on the question of whether supernatural designers exist.

The Ashanti people of Ghana call the phenomenon of spiritual possession akom. This fulfils the role of sign of calling and authentication of the function of specialist in rituals. The possession of a person by the spirit of his/her ancestor or a deity is at the foundations of his/her fulfilment of the cultic mission of medium, bringing others closer to the will of supernatural beings. It is therefore perceived as a positive and expected phenomenon. It must be correctly recognised and exploited, however. Akom makes divinative and healing practices possible. Possession is perceived by the Ashantis as individual as well as collective, prophylactic and therapeutic cultic activity. It becomes an occasion for integration of the community and renewal of the social order through unification, song and dance. The ecstasy of the traditional priest, which most often takes place during rituals, reflects and fulfils the dependence, connection and communication of the person with supernatural beings.
