The Epicurean trilemma (see Hume’s Dialogues) tries to reconcile: (1) God is good, (2) God is all-powerful, (3) Evil exists. Ian Bibby just sent me this Darwinian trilemma:

  1. Science cannot test the proposition that biological features are designed.
  2. Darwinism explains the appearance of design in biology not as actual design but as the product of natural selection and random variation.
  3. Darwinism is science.
