That should clear things up for the fair-minded.

Hate that it is always “so you believe dinosaurs roamed the earth 3000 years ago” and strict creationism. Ann Coulter describes ID very well and makes fun of evolution very well.

A fine example of Francis Schaeffer refers to as Upper story vs Lower story truth.

And Al Gore will soon have to proclaim that Global Warming ( oops..I mean “Climate Change”...as caused by man...) is also truth of faith...not science.

What exactly, is a truth of faith?

He hasn’t studied the subject thoroughly. He is essentially saying that faith and science are seperate, which is exactly what the anti-Christians have always wanted: to portray God as a figment of the imagination. That is completely the wrong definition of faith.

There is plenty of evidence, much of which has been presented here.

It totally depends what you’re actually talking about anyway. Evolution? The Big Bang? Both of those are provably incorrect.

Sounds reasonable to me.

I think his definition of Intelligent Design is not correct. In America, Intelligent Design is not simply the theistic position. Otherwise a very interesting sermon.

"An analogy can help us reconcile our faith in the existence of God's intelligent design for the world with the apparent fortuity and unpredictability highlighted by Darwin and current science. It deals with the relationship between grace and freedom. As in the spiritual field grace leaves space to the unpredictability of human freedom and even works through it, so also in the physical and biological world everything is based on the play of the second causes (the fight for survival of species according to Darwin, chance and necessity according to Monod); Even if this very play is contemplated and assumed by God's providence. In both cases, as the saying goes, God "writes straight with crooked lines." "All Creation Has Been Groaning and Suffering in Labor Pains"
