This basically a more convoluted way of stating the problem of irreducible complexity described by Michael Behe in his book “Darwin’s Black Box”
Purposeful, intelligent design with an end product in mind - this seems to echo the statements of King David in Psalm 139:
For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mothers womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
17 How precious to me are your thoughts,[a] God!
How vast is the sum of them!
18 Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand
when I awake, I am still with you.
Here the thing.. you do not need to belive in god to see problem it the theory of evolution... but because of it leaving the door open to possibility of god.. science is afraid to the question evolution dogma...
science driven by religious dogma or anti-religious dogma is still bad science...because in both cases it really is just the political dogma of the moment driving the answers
I don’t think that science is afraid of God or that nature points most decidedly to a Creator. It’s just that science and religion cover different ground. Religion includes the things of mortality and eternity. Science is limited to just those mortal things.
What we are seeing in the sciences is a culture-wide presumption that believers are not rational or don’t reason. This is wholly environmental as it is taught by Marxists in our schools. The religion of Marxism has replaced God in the general culture. Thus scientists also tend not to believe, but not because of their study of science, but because of their indoctrination in government school systems.
Oddly i would see it as the reverse.. it is a fear of god the restrictions the ideas imposes...
Which is truly odd because a rational person accept restrictions
reason dictates reason is universal, logic dictates logic is universal,...science is based on some of these premises...but say god and that God dictates God is universal they fear and hate the concept
..yet its all one in the same.
the rationale man has a god he obeys and worships called logic and reason and truth...and the truly Christian man knows God is living logic and reason and truth
God is truth truth is God...
Of course, they always face this problem:
