Evolution, Creationism, or Intelligent Design?
Do you have a preference?..
Intelligent design. The comlexity of design could not
have been an accident of nature i.e. evolution].
[Some sequences, of design, were not possible, without -
at minimum, intelligent design.]
To me, to accept that an evolutionary process came up
with my cat - is risible, in itself. It requires more of a trusting
‘faith’ to hold that evolution provides the explanation of how all came to be -
than to hold with creationism, or to hold that -
at minimum, an intelligent designer was at work.
Romans 1: 19-20
For what can be known about God is evident to them, because God made it evident to them.
Ever since the creation of the world, His invisible attributes of eternal power and divinity have been able to be understood and perceived in what He has made. As a result, they have no excuse…
What Saul is missing, here, is that indication of design
merely notes that an intelligent being, a designer, was/is at work.
Yet this, in itself, speaks not of the designer as loving being -
…because, that ‘designed,’ can wreak havoc…tornadic episodes,
tsunami, volcanic activity, flood, fire, illness.
That the designer cares for and loves human beings can only be
known through religious testimony - through revelation, and
the acceptance of this testimony, in faith.
The story of Job is relevant here.
30 months ago, when a tsunami caused the loss of life to
a quarter of a million people, what to say of the designer then?
That the designer set in motion a reality - in the natural world,
which caused great loss of life, great destruction, and great
suffering, both in the human realm and in the realm of
sensate creatures.
Revelation is the sole source that one can turn to, to know
far more about the Designer - the Being Who said ‘I AM.’
Because of I AM…we are.
