"Christians should be aware that design via evolution is a coming field."
And Bob Carling responded:
"As you may already know, your posting, as below, is highly timely for
folks in the UK who attended our annual day conference yesterday (or who
got the papers but did not attend) - which was on the subject of Design in
Nature!"
Could either of you gentlemen explain in what sense "design via evolution"
and "design in nature" are not "roses by a different name?" Is not
natural design via natural selection the point that Darwin was getting at?
I recall when I was a youngster (over 40 years ago) reading an article in
_Scientific American_ which explained how it was possible via a simple
random scheme to produce, in a few moves, a perfect tic-tac-toe game. As
I recall, the subject of Darwinian evolution was on the author's mind. So
what's new?
