More quotes by William A. Dembski
The fundamental claim of intelligent design is straightforward and easily intelligible: namely, there are natural systems that cannot be adequately explained in terms of undirected natural forces and that exhibit features which in any other circumstance we would attribute to intelligence.
William A. Dembski
Any view of the sciences that leaves Christ out of the picture must be seen as fundamentally deficient.
William A. Dembski
Without a unified political climate of opinion, there is little or no political profit in doing the right thing.
William A. Dembski
I believe God created the world for a purpose. The Designer of intelligent design is, ultimately, the Christian God.
William A. Dembski
The mechanical philosophy was ever blind to this fact. Intelligent design, on the other hand, readily embraces the sacramental nature of physical reality. Indeed, intelligent design is just the Logos theology of John's Gospel restated in the idiom of information theory.
William A. Dembski
Because we don't see the evil destroyed now and thus experience the suffering that evil inevitably inflicts, we are tempted to doubt God's existence and goodness.
William A. Dembski
Wrong people are wrong not because of their faults but because of their presumed virtues.
William A. Dembski
As a biblical inerrantist, I believe that what the Bible teaches is true and bow to the text, including its teaching about the Flood and its universality.
William A. Dembski
The atheist is cheating whenever he makes a moral judgment, acting as though it has an objective reference, when his philosophy in fact precludes it.
William A. Dembski
Design theorists are no friends of theistic evolution.
William A. Dembski
The question rather is how we should do science and theology in light of the impending collapse of Enlightenment rationalism and scientific naturalism. These ideologies are on the way out. They are on the way out.
William A. Dembski
Precisely because intelligent design does not turn the study of biological origins into a Bible-science controversy, intelligent design is a position around which Christians of all stripes can unite.
William A. Dembski
What I propose, then, is a strategy for interrogating the Darwinists to, as it were, squeeze the truth out of them.
William A. Dembski
The wrong people will do everything in their power to guarantee that the wrong political climate will continue. It seems, then, that the wrong people ensure the wrong political climate and the wrong political climate ensures the wrong people. How then to break free of this vicious circle?
William A. Dembski
As far as design theorists are concerned, theistic evolution is American evangelicalism's ill-conceived accommodation to Darwinism .
William A. Dembski
Give us detailed, testable, mechanistic accounts for the origin of life, the origin of the genetic code, the origin of ubiquitous bio macromolecules and assemblages like the ribosome, and the origin of molecular machines like the bacterial flagellum, and intelligent design will die a quick and painless death.
William A. Dembski
In God becoming human in Jesus Christ, God has established solidarity with the human condition.
William A. Dembski
The world is a mirror representing the divine life.
William A. Dembski
Because government has tremendous power, it attracts people who are eager to game the system, obtaining by force of law what they could never achieve through consensus.
William A. Dembski
Virtually every discipline and endeavor is presently under a naturalistic pall.
William A. Dembski
