            Keep reading. What Paul says is that the evidence is there but that everyone
    misreads it & constructs & worships idols rather than the true God. & when he finishes
    speaking about the universal problem of human sinfulness in Ch.3 he doesn't say, "OK,
    now let's learn correctly about God from "the things that have been made." Instead he
    points to God's revelation in Christ.
            The ID movement can be just the same type of process of idol construction. The
    only way to avoid that is to begin with the recognition that the designer is the triune
    God who is revealed in Christ.
