Intelligent Designers of Education


Dr Michael Easley of the Moody Bible Institute told a story this week on his radio program about a friend of his who left college with degrees in both biomedical engineering and medicine... And a 4.0 GPA in both. This man told Dr Easley that in the med school, most were evolutionary, Darwinian, origin of the species thinkers... But in biomedical engineering many were believers in Christ, and almost all were intelligent design proponents.


Why? I think it's because the med school guys looked at the "whole" human organism through a lens of preconception, and the biomedical engineers looked at the "nuts and bolts" and marvelled at the complexity and precision.


But wait a second. I thought the intelligent design promoters were all preachers and slack-jawed yokels with sloped foreheads, DNA peculiarities, and pig feces between their toes. You mean there are educated men with an opinion contrary to the Darwinists'?


In education, as in every other endeavor, those with the numbers and who shout the loudest will have their way. I think we know enough about the nature of man and his self-centered, narcissistic bent towards humanism, to conclude that ours will not be the celebrated persuasion on this side of the proverbial Jordan. Men will look to men - not to their Creator.


I'll argue it... I'll pray about it... But I'm resigned to the eventual outcome and will waste no time worrying about it.
