The man who lies to himself can be more easily offended than anyone.
“Theistic evolutionists...deny what advocates of intelligent design affirm, namely, that the past activity of a designing intelligence, is detectable or discernible in living systems.”
― Theistic Evolution: A Scientific, Philosophical, and Theological Critique
― Theistic Evolution: A Scientific, Philosophical, and Theological Critique
“It, [theistic evolution] therefore, contradicts the plainly theistic view of divine action articulated in the Bible, where God acts in his creation after the beginning of the universe. Indeed, the Bible describes God as not only acting to create the universe in the beginning; it also describes him as presently upholding the universe in its orderly concourse and also describes him as acting discretely as an agent within the natural order.”
― Theistic Evolution: A Scientific, Philosophical, and Theological Critique
― Theistic Evolution: A Scientific, Philosophical, and Theological Critique
“Theistic evolutionists, like mainstream neo-Darwinists, affirm the third meaning of evolution--i.e., the sufficiency of the natural selection/mutation mechanism (possibly in conjunction with other similarly naturalistic evolutionary mechanisms) as an explanation for the origin of new forms and features of life. Since natural selection and random mutations can account for the origin of biological systems (and their appearances of design), theistic evolutionists steadfastly deny the need to propose an actual designing intelligence.”
― Theistic Evolution: A Scientific, Philosophical, and Theological Critique
― Theistic Evolution: A Scientific, Philosophical, and Theological Critique
“...if the theistic evolutionist means to affirm the standard Darwinian view of the natural selection/mutation mechanism as an undirected process while simultaneously affirming that God is still causally responsible for the origin of new forms of life, then the theistic evolutionist implies that God somehow guided or directed an unguided and undirected process. Logically, no intelligent being--not even God--can direct an undirected process. As soon as he directs it, the 'undirected' process would no longer be undirected.”
― Theistic Evolution: A Scientific, Philosophical, and Theological Critique
― Theistic Evolution: A Scientific, Philosophical, and Theological Critique
“...if God did not at least direct the process of mutation and selection (and/or other relevant evolutionary mechanisms), but instead merely sustained the laws of nature that made them possible, then it follows that he could not know and does not know, what those mechanisms would (or will) produce, including whether they would have produced human beings.”
