Seven More Views on Intelligent Design
DOI: 10.1063/1.4796848
After I read the Opinions by Adrian Melott and Mano Singham, it occurred to me that ID is not only bad science but it’s bad religion too. Such a “god of the gaps” as postulated by ID only becomes smaller with time as science moves on and solves mysteries that were formerly “explained” as miracles. Unfortunately, the proponents of ID blur the distinction between logos and mythos, 1 between asking how we came to be and why we came to be. Arguably, humans need both logos and mythos to make sense of the world; both questions deserve our profound attention.
