Interesting read. Haven't heard this spin before.

hmmm, interesting article - although we would probably contend that it is not a real false dichotomy.

Evolution is at its core a proposal of unintelligent change and origin.

Atheism is at its core a proposal of unintelligent origin.

I'm going to listen to Alvin Plantinga this Friday night at Covenant College to lecture on Athiesm vs. Evolution. Should be interesting. I'll try to post a summary of it.

Thanks for the reminder....

In his book, The Blind Watchmaker: Why the Evidence of Evolution Reveals a Universe Without Design (W. W. Norton, reissued edition, 1996), Dawkins makes the following comment on p. 1...

"Biology is the study of complicated things that give the appearance of having been designed for a purpose."

Perhaps this is one reason why the intelligent design lobby "thanks God for Richard Dawkins." Such a statement is clearly an illustration of what the Apostle Paul tells us in Romans 1...

Romans 1: 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them.
