"Here is a debunking of Intelligent Design from a theological orientation" Their theology at a glance, looks gnostic (lots of references to "secrets" on their website), Jewish (lots of references to the Torah) or both. Quabbalic perhaps? I haven't studied Jewish theology that much.

I don't know enough about this Meru Foundation's theological perspective but it doesn't appear Catholic, which to me means its in error and their conclusions are irrelevant. When the orginal article says ". First, it's bad science; and second, if the logic presented is followed through on, it inevitably leads to a compound god" are they denying the Trinity? God is three persons in one substance, de fide.

Now that we have established that it is whatever the Catholic Church says, what does the Catholic Church say about the Theory of Evolution or about the Theory of Intelligent Design? As a Baptist, I prefer to think for myself. Also, this may come as a shock to you, but the early Christians believed that Jesus was the Jewish Messiah. I am not sure, but I think the Catholic Church still thinks that.

The fundamental idea behind Stan Tenen's work is that God hide the truth about his creation in the Bible, other sacred writings, and even the letters of the alphabet, so that they would be passed down from generation even when they are not understood. So "God in Three Persons" could very well have been a way to remember the three dimensions of reality, or some other truth that has been forgotten by this generation. As I remember, Jesus said he spoke in parables for a similar reason.

The Catholic church acknowledges evolution as a valid, supported theory. But you know that.
