"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."

“Intelligent Design opens the whole possibility of us being created in the image of a benevolent God.”

“The world is a mirror representing the divine life...”

“How a designer gets from thought to thing is, at least in broad strokes, straightforward: A designer conceives a purpose. To accomplish that purpose, the designer forms a plan. To execute the plan, the designer specifies building materials and assembly instructions. Finally, the designer or some surrogate applies the assembly instructions to the building materials. What emerges is a designed object, and the designer is successful to the degree that the object fulfills the designer's purpose”

“The fine-tuning of the universe, about which cosmologists make such a to-do, is both complex and specified and readily yields design. So too, Michael Behe's irreducibly complex biochemical systems readily yield design. The complexity-specification criterion demonstrates that design pervades cosmology and biology. Moreover, it is a transcendent design, not reducible to the physical world. Indeed, no intelligent agent who is strictly physical could have presided over the origin of the universe or the origin of life.”

“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.”

“My thesis is that all disciplines find their completion in Christ and cannot be properly understood apart from Christ.”
