Intelligent Design

Last week, Dutch Minister Van der Hoeven suggested in an interview that it is not a good thing for education to present only the theory of evolution. She pointed to a movement of American scientists who, on purely scientific grounds, operate from the perspective of Intelligent Design in living nature.

Because these scientists do not express themselves on the how of the origin of the world, they distinguish themselves from creationists, who do have explicit views on that matter. The only thing they point out is that even the simplest living organisms reveal an incredibly intelligent design.

To any rational person, of course, that’s no more than stating the obvious. But no—over the past few days, the minister has been hit by a flood of so-called “enlightened” nonsense! Nearly the entire Dutch press and a large portion of Parliament have, with arrogant and prejudiced ignorance, expressed their disdain for Intelligent Design.

And in doing so, have demonstrated a most un-intelligent disdain… for the Designer.

“For His invisible attributes are descried from the creation of the world, being apprehended by His achievements, besides His imperceptible power and divinity, for them to be defenseless, because, knowing God, not as God do they glorify or thank Him, but vain were they made in their reasonings, and darkened is their unintelligent heart.”
– Romans 1:20–21
