To clarify, let's start with Christians that believe God created the universe with the intent for man to evolve.
I think such theistic evos are clearly IDers. They believe an Intelligent Designer (God) created the universe, and they have accepted teleological thinking in believing such a creation occured with the intent to create/evolve mankind.
I think other theistic evos are likewise IDers, whether they realize or not, because they believe there is an Intelligent Force behind the creation and existence of the universe, but perhaps they are not teleological and think, for example, God perhaps didn't even know what would happen.
But regardless, it strikes me as incedibly inconsistent and lacking self-awareness for evos that believe in God or some divinity to at the same time bash Intelligent Design since they themselves are IDers.
Hi Rand. Welcome back.
If the ID entity is Jehovah, god of the Bible, no way for the following reasons.
1. According to the scriptures the Biblical god is eternal to the past and to the future. Nearly all evolutionists are also Big Bangists as well which is temporal to the past. So they not only have the Genesis record to account for relative to evolution but how the universe came to be. Nothing they believe in relates to the ID Biblical account.
2. According to Gen 1, God made the first man, Adam in a day after the image of God himself and breathed life into him.
BUZSAW B 4 U 2 C Y BUZ SAW.
The immeasurable present eternally extends the infinite past and infinitely consumes the eternal future.
