Critical Focus | Debunking the Myth of Intelligent Design

THE MICROSCOPE
2013, Volume 61:1, pp. 25–34
DOI
https://doi.org/10.59082/ANYY6991
AUTHOR
Brian J. Ford
EXCERPT
Creationists and I always get along really well. They sometimes come up to me after a lecture. “Let’s face it,” they say, “we are at opposite poles of thought. You believe in evolution, while we are certain that God created everything.” At this point I peer over my eyeglasses. “God created everything?” I ask and then, when they nod excitedly, I respond, “Then we are reconciled. If God created everything, then he created evolution.” Case closed.
