Wrong People Are Wrong Not Because Of

Constrained Optimization Is The Art Of Compromise Between Conflicting Objectives. This Is What Design Is All About. To Find Fault With Biological Design - As Stephen Jay Gould Regularly Does - Because It Misses Some Idealized Optimum Is Therefore Gratuitous. Not Knowing The Objectives Of The Designer, Gould Is In No Position To Say Whether The Designer Has Proposed A Faulty Compromise Among Those Objectives.

Give Us Detailed, Testable, Mechanistic Accounts For The Origin Of Life, The Origin Of The Genetic Code, The Origin Of Ubiquitous Bio Macromolecules And Assemblages Like The Ribosome, And The Origin Of Molecular Machines Like The Bacterial Flagellum, And Intelligent Design Will Die A Quick And Painless Death.

The Very Comprehensibility Of The World Points To An Intelligence Behind The World. Indeed, Science Would Be Impossible If Our Intelligence Were Not Adapted To The Intelligibility Of The World. The Match Between Our Intelligence And The Intelligibility Of The World Is No Accident. Nor Can It Properly Be Attributed To Natural Selection, Which Places A Premium On Survival And Reproduction And Has No Stake In Truth Or Conscious Thought. Indeed, Meat-puppet Robots Are Just Fine As The Output Of A Darwinian Evolutionary Process.

My Thesis Is That All Disciplines Find Their Completion In Christ And Cannot Be Properly Understood Apart From Christ.

The Mechanical Philosophy Was Ever Blind To This Fact. Intelligent Design, On The Other Hand, Readily Embraces The Sacramental Nature Of Physical Reality. Indeed, Intelligent Design Is Just The Logos Theology Of John's Gospel Restated In The Idiom Of Information Theory.
