What about incorporating the word 'conceived'?

I think that is trouble. The problem is the word "designed." Where does it
end? If God established natural laws at the beginning, commissioned the
impersonal acts of nature to do the work, and set it all in motion at the
Big Bang, there is no "design" to it. Besides, Christians will never be
able to distinguish between MD and ID (Is MD less intelligent than ID.), and
scientists aren't going to buy it at all no matter what you call it. The
word I used in my book was "Creavolution" or just "C" if you like. There
might be something better. Kick it around.
