Government Has A Legitimate Sphere

Intelligent Design Is Just The Logos Theology Of John's Gospel Restated In The Idiom Of Information Theory.

There Is An Immediate Payoff To Intelligent Design: It Destroys The Atheistic Legacy Of Darwinian Evolution. Intelligent Design Makes It Impossible To Be An Intellectually Fulfilled Atheist.

Intelligent Design Is A Modest Position Theologically And Philosophically. It Attributes The Complexity And Diversity Of Life To Intelligence, But Does Not Identify That Intelligence With The God Of Any Religious Faith Or Philosophical System.

Thus, In Its Relation To Christianity, Intelligent Design Should Be Viewed As A Ground-clearing Operation That Gets Rid Of The Intellectual Rubbish That For Generations Has Kept Christianity From Receiving Serious Consideration.

Scientists Rightly Resist Invoking The Supernatural In Scientific Explanations For Fear Of Committing A God-of-the-gaps Fallacy (the Fallacy Of Using God As A Stop-gap For Ignorance). Yet Without Some Restriction On The Use Of Chance, Scientists Are In Danger Of Committing A Logically Equivalent Fallacy-one We May Call The “chance-of-the-gaps Fallacy.” Chance, Like God, Can Become A Stop-gap For Ignorance.
