...imagine you are driving through South Dakota and suddenly come upon a mountain bearing the unmistakable likenesses of four American presidents, looking just as you remember from your history books.  Would you, would anyone, conclude that these shapes were the product of wind

                    The first glimmers that excluding design artificially restricts science come from admissions by scientists opposed to design.  The arch-Darwinist Richard Dawkins begins his book The Blind Watchmaker by stating, "Biology is the study of complicated things that give the appearance of having been

                    Origins: A recent Gallup survey shows most Americans have somewhat tentative views about evolution, creationism, and intelligent design. Few Americans are familiar with all three. Clear majorities believe creationism and evolution are at least probably true, but the public is

                    DESIGNED DILEMMAS
In Dr. Tim Kimmel’s book Raising Kids Who Turn Out Right, he has a section called Designed Dilemmas. Kimmel is convinced that most modern parents pamper their kids to the point where they don’t ever have to face situations that force them to grow up, mature, learn responsibility.

                    GOD’S WISE DESIGN
Because nature is clouded by sin, it gives only an indistinct picture of God. Much of His great wisdom and marvelous design, however, can still be clearly traced. For instance, the earth rotates on its axis at approximately 1000 miles per hour. If that had been 100 miles per
