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.

More quotes by William A. Dembski
The young earth-solution to reconciling the order of creation with natural history makes good exegetical and theological sense. Indeed, the overwhelming consensus of theologians up through the Reformation held to this view. I myself would adopt it in a heartbeat except that nature seems to present such strong evidence against it.
William A. Dembski
If you have no authority to legislate my freedoms, then I'm truly free, at least from you.
William A. Dembski
The world is a mirror representing the divine life.
William A. Dembski
As long as the wrong people hold power, how can the right political climate even arise?
William A. Dembski
Virtually every discipline and endeavor is presently under a naturalistic pall.
William A. Dembski
Intelligent design, unlike creationism, is a science in its own right and can stand on its own feet.
William A. Dembski
Christ is indispensable to any scientific theory, even if its practitioners do not have a clue about him.
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
If we take seriously the word-flesh Christology of Chalcedon (i.e., the doctrine that Christ is fully human and fully divine) and view Christ as the telos toward which God is drawing the whole of creation, then any view of the sciences that leaves Christ out of the picture must be seen as fundamentally deficient.
William A. Dembski
Design theorists are no friends of theistic evolution.
William A. Dembski
There is an immediate payoff to intelligent design: it destroys the atheistic legacy of Darwinian evolution. Intelligent design makes it impossible to be an intellectually fulfilled atheist.
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
Intelligent design is just the Logos theology of John's Gospel restated in the idiom of information theory.
William A. Dembski
This is really an opportunity to mobilize a new generation of scholars and pastors not just to equip the saints but also to engage the culture and reclaim it for Christ. That's really what is driving me.
William A. Dembski
Any view of the sciences that leaves Christ out of the picture must be seen as fundamentally deficient.
William A. Dembski
Intelligent Design opens the whole possibility of us being created in the image of a benevolent God.
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
I think the opportunity to deal with students and getting them properly oriented on science and theology and the relation between those is going to be important because science has been such an instrument used by the materialists to undermine the Christian faith and religious belief generally.
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
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.
William A. Dembski
