Additional Resources
for
Intelligent Design of the Universe
This page contains additional web-resources about
why the universe is "just right for life," to supplement the
resources in INTELLIGENT
DESIGN OF THE UNIVERSE.
These additional resources are good,
they're well written with interesting ideas. But to avoid overwhelming
you by putting too much
on the main page, choices are necessary.
I.O.U. — Both pages, the homepage and this page (with additional resources), will be developed and evaluated more thoroughly by May 2010.
In science, especially in physics and cosmology, there are still Open Questions and Unsolved Mysteries.

Owen Gingerich examines the role of natural
theology in our interpretations
of astrophysical evidence for design.
Robert Koons provides a philosophical
analysis of design and non-design in the second half of Post-Agnostic

removed from the internet; I'll check again later]

about design and God, including Design

This website for Whole-Person Education has TWO KINDS OF LINKS:
an ITALICIZED LINK keeps you inside a page, moving you to another part of it, and a NON-ITALICIZED LINK opens another page. Both keep everything inside this window, so your browser's BACK-button will always take you back to where you were. |
