Even a fairly conservative approach to interpreting Scripture could allow that, while an argument from design is not a scientific proof, it need not be inconsistent with science. The argument from design is indeed very old and illustrates how pro-scientific people constructed explanations of the cosmos that reflect their own experience as intelligent agents. 14) Though written long centuries ago in the light of the best scientific knowledge of their time, these critical reflections on the deeper significance of nature "have an amazing contemporary relevance" (15) to the recent remarkable revival of the argument from design in modern science and philosophy. |
