Implications Of 'Intelligent Design' For Human Behavior
What is Inteligent Design and What is Random? I recently came across a statement by Wasserman and Blumberg in the May-June issue of American Scientist that I want to share.
Do not take this too seriously...or do.
Although evolutionists and creationists strongly disagree about the role that intelligent design plays in the origins of bodies and brains, they curiously agree about the role that intelligent design plays in the origins of human inventiveness. However, both camps would do well to focus less on perceived foresight and purpose and more on the actual origins of behavior.
Contemporary evolutionists such as Richard Dawkins should move beyond the arcane argument over where to draw the line between things that "really are designed" and "things that only appear to be designed." By doing so, Wasserman and Blumber note, we will better appreciate the actual forces that unite the processes of change across both evolutionary and developmental timescales.
And that I like: appreciating the actual forces that unite the processes of change across both evolutionary and developmental timescales. Is your language science? Is it theology or philosophy? Do you call it God, Jesus, Mohammad, or simply "the force?" I believe something is there, what ever you want to call it.
