ID and Old Testament
A New website from Australia on ID has a long list of scientists who have signed to the following:
WARE SKEPTICAL OF CLAIMS FOR THE ABILITY
OF RANDOM MUTATION AND NATURAL SELECTION TO ACCOUNT FOR THE COMPLEXITY OF LIFE. CAREFUL EXAMINATION OF THE EVIDENCE FOR DARWINIAN THEORY SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED.”
I’ll buy that, but, frankly, I am skeptical of the ability of intelligent design to do any better.
A requirement for those who promote ID is to withdraw their claims from association with religions of historical monotheism, on the grounds that bias is involve, and, quite apart from hegemonic cultural ambitions, Big Bucks (think of the profit potential for televangelism from ID with a whiff of science).
Trick question: Is the Old Testament evidence that Intelligent Design pervades history? If so, what about the Greek Axial. Was that designed too?
