Prof Saleem Ali of the University of Delaware is author of Earthly Order: How natural laws define human life. He describes the way order in the universe drives order in human and social settings. He engages with Dr Stephen Meyer of the Discovery Institute, whose book The Return of the God Hypothesis makes the case that order in nature points to a divine mind.
With Justin Brierley at the Unbelievable? podcast.
The order that is evident comes from God. To deny God is to deny the laws of physics, since they could not have come about randomly.
What does the word “divine” mean?
It usually means religious. But what religion. ID supports many religions but does not point to any specific one.
In the God hypothesis, Meyer definitely does not point to any specific religion as a result of ID.
Jerry @2,
No, ID doesn’t support any religion. It takes no position on religion.
As far as ID is concerned the intelligent design might have come from a highly advanced alien civilization, in which the earth is essentially a test tube from an experiment in a basic biochemistry lab.
