All over the world in majority Christian countries a heated debate is raging over whether or not the theory of 'Intelligent Design' should be taught in school science lessons alongside the Darwinian theory of evolution. Christian creationist on one hand and scientific purists on the other hand line up to deride the other's views. What I would like to suggest here is that the terms of this debate have been allowed to become defined by the antagonism and distrust that each group feels towards the other; it has become a war of attrition rather than a reasoned debate. It seems to me that the prevailing arguments onboth sides of the debate are mistaken, and that if people could see past these tribal divisions between science and religion a solution could be found which would satisfy both sides. In fact, I would like to suggest just such a solution here.

The chances that a universe capable of suporting life could come about through chance is statistically insignificant - this is know as 'Goldilocks Principle', because the universe seems to be 'just right' for life to exist.

I have seen a lot of articles lately about faith in God being inherent and the "limitations" of science and the theory of evolution. I have written something of a response. http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/358886/the_human_quest_for_explanations_is.html
