If you're like me, you really like clever design and something that functions perfect towards its original intent. In fact, you might even become interested in reading up on its creator/inventor, the clever one who engineered the 'something' you think is so cool. Clear creativity is fascinating, as often the inspiration is a mystery, but the outcome is so impacting in its outworking to make life easier, enjoyable, efficient, etc. Usually a few men or women emerge from their generation to lead the way in creative expression, and the ripple effects of their work changes the way society operates. Our generation had Steve Jobs, who certainly has his share of 'successful gadgets and products' that would certainly draw admiration for intelligent design. Why then, if the earth and the heavens, which vibrate with intelligent design and balance, cause intellectuals to come up with terribly unintelligent ways to discredit the Intelligent One who deserves admiration for His work? It was a 'Big Bang'? It was space aliens? It was evolutionary probability? What did God do to earn such disregard for His handiwork? If I see a ton of evidence (and there is a ton) that Intelligent Design is in place, then it makes perfect logical sense to hypothesis that an Intelligent One exists. He is higher in the order of things, above His creation, and able to reveal Himself as He chooses, on His terms. Why is that so hard to give up? Is human pride so rock solid, that logic is tossed out and we can never reach the right conclusion, or maybe even reach out to know Him better? Amazingly enough, as hard as we have worked to marginalize God, He still reaches out to reconcile with us and re-establish a very broken cord of relationship. I guess even the most ardent thinker will have to continue to bash his wits against that simple truth: God is, and when you are ready to climb up the mountain of evidence that makes it obvious, He will meet with you.
