Here, Baylor stalwart for God, Charles Weaver:
Weaver says that intelligent design is little more than an ego trip. How do we know a biological system has been intelligently designed? Because it’s designed the way we would have designed it, in a way that we can understand it. “That’s a nice little egotistical thing, isn’t it?” he says. “It’s designed to make us feel more comfortable. We do best when we believe ourselves to be at the pinnacle of creation. And it doesn’t have much to do with theology; it has much more to do with our insecurity as a species.”
– Lauren Kern, “Monkey Business” (Dallas Observer, January 11, 2001)
Since then, lots of people seem to have bought tickets on Why We Matter; few on Why We Don’t.
Of course we matter. We are the only species that can do anything about the planet’s problems.
