Re: "We Believe in Design"

MessageI prefer to believe in the Creator who created all out of nothing. Just what does design mean? It has no roots in scripture and the history of design is not a happy one

  Yes, that sounds like an excellent idea. It will be interesting to see whether this kind of essay is greeted with hostility.
   
  We are far apart in our understanding of how to communicate with the public. But making clear to a broad public that you unambiguously believe that there is purpose and design in nature sounds like a neat idea, and I hope you will do it.

This seems like a very worthwhile endeavor, which I am inclined to take a
whack at. I'm going away for the weekend (+ a couple days of vacation) so
will be off the list for a while.
