The scientific picture of the world championed since the Enlightenment is not just wrong but massively wrong. Indeed entire fields of inquiry, especially in the human sciences, will need to be rethought from the ground up in terms of intelligent design.
William A. Dembski
Image
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
Image
In God becoming human in Jesus Christ, God has established solidarity with the human condition.
William A. Dembski
Image
Without a unified political climate of opinion, there is little or no political profit in doing the right thing.
William A. Dembski
Image
Intelligent Design opens the whole possibility of us being created in the image of a benevolent God.
William A. Dembski
Image
Virtually every discipline and endeavor is presently under a naturalistic pall.
William A. Dembski
Image
The problem of good as it faces the atheist is this: Nature, which is the nuts-and-bolts reality for the atheist, has no values and thus can offer no grounding for good and evil. Values on the atheist view are subjective and contingent.
William A. Dembski
Image
As long as the wrong people hold power, how can the right political climate even arise?
William A. Dembski
Image
Intelligent design is a modest position theologically and philosophically. It attributes the complexity and diversity of life to intelligence, but does not identify that intelligence with the God of any religious faith or philosophical system.
William A. Dembski
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
My thesis is that all disciplines find their completion in Christ and cannot be properly understood apart from Christ.
William A. Dembski
Image
Natural selection certainly operates. It explains how bacteria will gain antibiotic resistance it will explain how insects get insecticide resistance, but it doesn't explain how you get bacteria or insects in the first place.
William A. Dembski
Image
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.
William A. Dembski
Image
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
Image
Any view of the sciences that leaves Christ out of the picture must be seen as fundamentally deficient.
William A. Dembski
Image
Intelligent design is just the Logos theology of John's Gospel restated in the idiom of information theory.

If you have no authority to legislate my freedoms, then I'm truly free, at least from you.
