By design

In the past, the argument was between science and creationism-the strict view that the Bible is literally true. Now, the argument is that creationism is based on religious texts and assumption, while intelligent design is based on empirical data and the interpretation of scientific evidence.

Intelligent design does not defend any religious beliefs, nor is it based on religious assumptions, therefore it is scientific. The debate is not of theology any more. But of science

Nothing in science can be written in stone. And even now there is a feeling of unease developing among scientists with Darwinian evolution.

Intelligent design is the theory that all life forms were designed by a greater intelligence than ours. Intelligent design adopts the language of science. Intelligent design theory is definitely a science, says many scientists and therefore, should be taught in the science classes in schools.

Okay. I can live with that. A Supreme Being creating us all and the Earth and Everything that is in it is a lot easier to grasp than quantum physics, that’s for sure. Ah yes the paths to God are long and winding and very, very many it seems.

And here’s a little story of intelligent design to boggle your mind:

A man heard on the radio that his village was about to be hit by a terrible storm and all residents were advised to leave the area as soon as possible. But the man was a man of faith and said,’ God loves me. He will provide. I will be Safe.’ The storm came bringing with it torrential floods. The man climbed onto the roof of his house to avoid drowning. Shortly thereafter a boat came along come with us in our boat. We will save you’ But the man said, ‘No thank. God will provide’. And he stayed on the roof, watching the waters rising. Some time later a helicopter came along. ‘We have come to rescue   you’, called the pilot. ‘No thanks,’ said the man ‘God will provide’. And so the helicopter flew away. Eventually, the man died in the flood.

As he walked into heaven he saw God and he said to him, ‘what happened? You said you would provide for me. And now I am dead!’God looked at him in astonishment and cried, ‘What are you doing here? I sent you a message on the radio, a boat and a helicopter……?’

One last thought: perhaps our existence can be designed the designer and why?

God bless.
