More quotes by 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
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
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
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
Wrong people are wrong not because of their faults but because of their presumed virtues.
William A. Dembski
The world is a mirror representing the divine life.
William A. Dembski
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
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
I believe God created the world for a purpose. The Designer of intelligent design is, ultimately, the Christian God.
William A. Dembski
If you have no authority to legislate my freedoms, then I'm truly free, at least from you.
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
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
In God becoming human in Jesus Christ, God has established solidarity with the human condition.
William A. Dembski
As long as the wrong people hold power, how can the right political climate even arise?
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
As far as design theorists are concerned, theistic evolution is American evangelicalism's ill-conceived accommodation to Darwinism .
William A. Dembski
Government has a legitimate sphere of operation. The problem arises when that sphere continually expands, encompassing areas where government lacks legitimacy.
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
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
Virtually every discipline and endeavor is presently under a naturalistic pall.
William A. Dembski
