Creationists and Intelligent Design: Can they go hand in hand?

Question

While I will not express my exact viewpoint on the subject, I was wondering:

The big bang occurs (evolutionists are cheering everywhere) and the universe is created. In the process, an all mighty being is created as well (if something can come from nothing, why not an almighty being). Evolution occurs (stop cheering, you are distracting people from reading the question). Dinosaurs are roaming the earth, etc..

A natural disaster occurs, a meteor strikes, a thick cloud of dust rises from the ground and blackens out the sun. Every living being, plant, etc. dies. (Awww) Maybe some fish survive? (Yeah)

Welcome to the ice age.

Suddenly the almighty being steps in (cheers finally from the Intelligent Design side of the room), clears away the dust, allows the earth to thaw, light re-emerges to the planet after thousands of years. (2001: Space Odessy theme plays).

God creates man (I.D., no mocking the evolutionists). Adam and Eve emerge, and life continues.

Why not?

Couple of quick comments:

Remember, I did not say this was my viewpoint. It had just been presented to me.

Occams Razor:

The fact the universe was created from an finite speck of infinite density to create a universe where life evolved from thousands of perfect genetic mutations resulting in man as we know it.

-or-

An all knowing being creating man from nothing and not leaving you personal proof that he existed.

Close call don't you think?

Answer 1

That's an almost perfect "Deus ex Machina"!
After all that time, a being steps in and sets everything "right"?

Go with the Earth deliberately seeded from space as a conceivable possibly, but don't make those superior beings God, (except to a terrified primitive humanity).

If not responsible for the meteor strike, not God.
If responsible, not a good God?

Answer 2

My version:
The big bang occurs (evolutionists are cheering everywhere) and the universe is created. In the process, a giant turtle is created as well (if something can come from nothing, why not a giant turtle). Evolution occurs , etc..
A natural disaster occurs, a meteor strikes, a thick cloud of dust rises from the ground and blackens out the sun. Every living being, plant, etc. dies. (Awww) Maybe some fish survive? (Yeah)
Welcome to the ice age.
Suddenly the giant turtle steps in (cheers finally from the Intelligent Design side of the room), clears away the dust, allows the earth to thaw, light re-emerges to the planet after thousands of years. (2001: Space Odessy theme plays).
Turtle lays 2 eggs (I.D., no mocking the evolutionists). Adam and Eve emerge, and life continues.

Why not?

Answer 3

The Creation story is the BigBang, Evolution, Ice Age Etc. The Bible used symbolism to deliver the story because people in ancient times weren't that intelligent to comprehend the vast complexity of theories such as Evolution or the BigBang.

Answer 4

first of all, animals are no longer the "good comparable" as they have been at creation. there is genetic version interior of an animal type. Take canines as an occasion: poodles, chihuahuas, great Danes, Dalmatians, and all different canines, to incorporate wolves and coyotes, have been initially of the comparable canines created; over the years they began to alter into genetically distinctive with the aid of organic decision. additionally, hollow bones could no longer only be useful for flying. What in the event that they permit a penguin swim better? Or an Emu run better? in certainty, God made all the animals with applications that artwork. each and every guy or woman animal has all the bits and products that it needs to stay to tell the story and adapt.

Answer 5

First of all, if the Big Bang had created an intelligent being capable of designing life, there would likely be some evidence of that. If you confine God to spacetime, then we need to have evidence of God to suppose God exists.

Also, the Big Bang does not say anything about "something coming from nothing." All matter/energy was condensed into a point of infinite density. That means that nothing was created: the matter was all already there.

Also, if God created Adam and Eve and the creation story of the Bible was literally true, we'd be able to find evidence to support it (other than a single piece of literature.)

Answer 6

Yes they can because soon "Intelligent Design" will be the scientific theory that will be taught instead of The Theory of Evolution in both public and religious school's science classes around the world.

Answer 7

Better yet, as an Evolutionary Creationist I see that Creation, evolution and Intelligent Design all go hand in hand.

Answer 8

Why?

I can come up with 100,000 equally deluded fantasies. All you are doing is trying to fit some way out theory into the straight jacket of believeing a book of mythology written by bronze age men. Give up that book and you can start to find out what really happened.

Answer 9

Why not indeed.
Be careful that this doesn't snowball and become yet another religion. There will always be some misguided takers as we know.
Are you prepared to become the next great leader?

Answer 10

this is mostly speculation and the god aspect of this and the science is theory or faith so believe what you want .your beliefs create your reality if you believe your are depressed you will be depressed ...if you believe your are happy your are happy so if you believe in adam and eve for you this is true
you can never come to a point where all will agree to one point of view
