Abstract: The theory of evolution by natural selection, proposed by Charles Darwin & Alfred Russel Wallace to count for the diversity of species of life on earth in the recent years has been challenged by scientists worldwide based on a new scientific theory called the ID or Intelligent Design theory. This paper gives an overview of the Intelligent Design Theory. It discusses the shortcoming of the Darwins theory of evolution. Different theories of how life originated from the nonliving matter including the Replicator First Theory & Metabolism First Theory have been discussed in brief and it has been analyzed how these theories fails to explain the complexity of real world. Finally a mathematical analysis has been done of some real life examples to compute the probabilities of existence of the world as we see it absent the Intelligent Design
