Intelligent Design is like denying the holocaust?
Coral Ridge Ministries presents Learn to Discern, with John Rabe.
John Rabe: Biologist Kenneth Miller is one of Darwin’s most devoted defenders; he recently talked to Steven Cobare, about intelligent design. A powerful and growing challenge to Darwin’s monopoly on the minds of students. Miller came off firing.
Miller: And it is more than 50% believes that intelligent design is a possibility than this is a democracy. Why cannot we teach that in school in Science class?
Steven: Well if you have a big fraction, we thinks that we never went to the moon or the holocaust is a fabrication, do we teach that as well?
Miller: I do not know, but the holocaust, without the moon is very suspicious thing.
Steven: The answer basically is that we do not know.
John Rabe: But is that true? Intelligent design is just like a claim that the moon landing was staged in Arizona? Or that the holocaust never happened? Well not hardly. Intelligent design is the view that the universe and living things are best explained by an intelligent cause, rather than a random, undirected process, such as evolution. It depends for its claims on real fact in the absorbable world.
Biochemist Michael Bihi, is an intelligent design proponent, who shows in his book, Darwin’s Black Box, how the complex and sequential blood clotting mechanism, as well as the irreducibly complex microscopic machines inside our body cells could have evolved step by step, over long eons of time.
Other intelligent designs supporters point to the fact that the universe is fine tune for life. Gravity, strong and weak nuclear forces and the electro magnetic force, almost correspond to a narrow range of values in order to support life and they do. Kenneth Miller may deny, distort and diminish the evidence, but the plain fact, evident to all, is that we inhabit a spectacularly complex and well ordered world. One created by God, not by chance.
I hope this helps you to learn to discern, and that you will share this with a friend.
For Coral Ridge ministries, I am John Rabe.
