Ohio Board Hears Debate on an Alternative to Darwinism
In contrast to the biblical literalism of creationists, proponents of intelligent design acknowledge that the earth is billions of years old and that organisms evolve over time. But they dispute that natural selection is the sole force of evolution, arguing that life is so complex that only some sort of intelligent designer, whether called God or something else, must be involved.
If these folks believe in this type of God, why not say that God is such an intelligent designer that He decided to create natural selection and have it be the sole force of evolution? He’s a clever guy!
It reminds me of the conundrum we used to say as kids: “If God can do anything, can he create a rock so heavy that He can’t lift it?”
