Intelligent design?

Ah but think of how boring life would be if there were no mystery, no challenging questions to ponder and figure out. Man derives such joy through making discoveries.

I would like to comment on something I read just now on the internet. It was a piece by Ken Miller, a scientist, talking about evolutionary theory. He said “Biology is far from understanding exactly how a single cell develops into a baby, but research suggests that human development can ultimately be explained in terms of biochemistry and molecular biology.” he went on to apply this analogy to the evolution of the human species to imply that we can explain it in scientific terms, primarily natural selection. But this both makes and misses the whole point. Using the analogy of an individual human being we see that biology isn’t everything. A human develops also according to the exercise of will; he makes choices and value judgements, has spirituality, none of which are controlled by biology. So indeed the human race has evolved according to the greater Will, the greater Choice, the Spirituality of God. Without positing the existence of a greater Will, the development of man makes no sense whatever. We can explain human biology in terms of natural selection but we cannot thus explain his spirituality. No amount of fetishistic attachment to the scientific method can get around this simple yet profound truth.
