Christ Is Indispensable To Any Scientific Theory,

Intelligent Design, Unlike Creationism, Is A Science In Its Own Right And Can Stand On Its Own Feet.

The World Is A Mirror Representing The Divine Life.

Intelligent Design Opens The Whole Possibility Of Us Being Created In The Image Of A Benevolent God.

Thus, In Its Relation To Christianity, Intelligent Design Should Be Viewed As A Ground-clearing Operation That Gets Rid Of The Intellectual Rubbish That For Generations Has Kept Christianity From Receiving Serious Consideration.

I'm Not Saying That Atheists Can't Act Morally Or Have Moral Knowledge. But When I Ascribe Virtue To An Atheist, It's As A Theist Who Sees The Atheist As Conforming To Objective Moral Values. The Atheist, By Contrast, Has No Such Basis For Morality. And Yet All Moral Judgments Require A Basis For Morality, Some Standard Of Right And Wrong.
