What can one say about this powerful statement by James Herrick but a wonderful truth that only those of faith will understand.We can see a Gods handiwork when we look out into the universe or when we take in the beauty of flowers.I will say one thing that as science delves into the microscopic world even an atheist like Professor Nagel is now drawn towards intelligent design.
I highly recommend his book The Making of the New Spirituality as well if you are interested in how out culture has become Neopagan and increasingly immersed in paranormal and occult beliefs.
Pantheism.
Nagel is opposed to ID. He just sees it as separate from typical creationism.
Anonymous,
ID Theory and Creationism are indeed distinct.
ID starts with Science and argues to a deity. (Although its proponents prefer "designer" and are usually careful not to use terms such as "god" or "deity.")
Creationism starts with the God of Scripture and argues to Science.
Annoyed at the suggestion that Nagel is being drawn into the deist camp.
I am not certain I agree with all the statements in the head post. Dr. Allan Sandage made an astronomical discovery that convinced him of the existence of God. Of course, he did not know which God but the discovery sent him on a spiritual quest that lasted for two years before he became a follower of Christ.
The standard cosmology (hot big bang with lambda cold dark matter) is strongly supportive of a Creator God. The standard physics of the fine-tuned universe is also strongly supportive of a Creator God. There are scientists who will appeal to non-scientific theories like the multiverse to avoid the existence of God, but the door is quickly closing even on that sad dodge.
