I used to try to thread that needle myself - kind of a theistic evolutionist,

until Ham himself showed me the theological problems inherent in that belief.

I think you are confusing the relative meanings of “creationism” and “Intelligent Design”.

“Creationism” is basically “the Bible says it and that settles it” - very simplistic and basically bumper sticker mentality.

“Intelligent Design” uses scientific principles to destroy the notions of evolution and a non-Theistic creation.

While there is some commonality between the two,creationism and Intelligent Design are really two very separate frameworks of thought. They should never be lumped together or confused. Read Geisler’s book.

"“Creationism” is basically “the Bible says it and that settles it” - very simplistic and basically bumper sticker mentality." Interesting statement in light of your tagline.

Prov 3:5 --- "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding"
