Howard had written:"How about MD, Mindfully Designed, or some other term
that focuses attention of the idea that the universe exhibits a
>character that strongly points to the prior intentional action of Mind?"
You responded:" I think that is trouble. The problem is the word
"designed." Where does it end? ... 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."
Since Howard's post, I've been thinking more about it. Thanks for the added
insight. Four comments -- then I'll reply to Howard:
1. The word "designed" does sort of stick out. Another term ought to be
better.
2. Whether or not "Christians are able to discern ... ." is no doubt true,
but too broad a statement and possible not relevant anyway.
3. Similiar statement on "scientists."
4. Your term "creavolution" is, in what I am thinking about, too broad.
Thanks.
