Scenarios
- Evolution proves there's no God
One-liners
- Actually classic evolution has been un-proved - can you accept that science?
- Scientists are baffled as to how finely tuned the universe is
In-brief
Science now accepts some sort of intelligent design as it’s the only tenable hypothesis right now.
The code-like structure of DNA and in-cell replication challenge the idea of gradual development as these codes are either there or not, you can’t have part of one.
The maths (statistics) alone show there has not been enough time for ransom mutations to achieve the complexity we see.
Darwin himself had doubts as there were so many missing links – he assumed they would turn up – but have not.Fine-tuning in astronomy, chemistry, biology shows how rare it is for our universe and life on earth to even be possible.
There are non-science motivations for adopting an evolutionary view – it absolves moral responsibility as there is no God to judge us. We can do whatever we want. But God calls us to freedom in him - we can be in tune with the universe instead of opposing it.
