You were saying something about Catholic schools not teaching intelligent design, and when challenged on that, you opted for changing the topic to questions about gambling. So there's no real need to answer such questions.
I DO think that intelligible order in nature speaks to the majesty of our Lord God.
But you are careful to avoid saying that it points to the designing mind of God. And yet we are supposed to believe that gambling points to a designing mind.
Is gambling non-teleological or do you think God is in control of who wins and who loses?
You were saying something about Catholic schools. According to Aquinas chance events are not considered to be designed. That puts your evolutionary theology at odds--in toto caelo--with the thomistic theory of intelligent design. As if anyone really needed further proofs that evolutionism is incompatible with Catholic natural theology. But thanks for providing more anyway.
You're probably going to pretend to miss the point again and ask me a lot of dumb questions about gambling and theology. But if you don't like the Thomist take on it, you can write to the Vatican and urge them to chuck Aquinas and adopt atheism, deism, Calvinism, or whatever it is that your selling. You can even preface the letter with a little lecture about how 'nothing in science is ever proven' and then proceed to prove your points.
B.S.. Kids in Catholic school learn evolution and that God created everything. They do not learn “intelligent design” as put forth and popularized by the Discovery Institute.
Evolution is completely compatible with Catholic natural theology. What is “evolutionism”, a strawman you wish to knock over perchance?
But don’t take my word for it...

“This clash is an absurdity because on one hand there is much scientific proof in favor of evolution, which appears as a reality that we must see and which enriches our understanding of life and being as such.” Pope Benedict XVI
