Skeptical Inquiry?
Interesting article on “Intelligent Design Theory and Neocreationism” in the September Issue of the Skeptical Inquirer. It is a critique of intelligent design and neocreationsim (whatever that is?) and an argument for natural selection. I am no scientist but the author uses human’s fallen nature and the problem of evil as a trump card to rule out a supernatural intelligent design. If an omniscient and omnibenevolent God created the universe than why are humans so messed up physically, genetically, etc.? I don’t know about science but Christians have an explanation: the fall of man. The trials and tribulations of this earth are a result of mankind’s choice not a god incapable of getting it right. I do not have the scientific background to argue the finer points regarding natural selection but the basic premise that the author sets out regarding supernatural design is not so easily refuted by simple reference to human imperfection.
