Creation vs. Evolution -MEDIATED DESIGN

Okay, this is sooooo awesome. PLEASE take the time to read this and you'll be able to help defend creationism.

( I LOVE the part of this article called "Using Mediated Design" and the potential there. OH MY!!!)

Meaning of Mediated design:
the belief that God specifically designed each created kind with genes that could be turned on by environmental factors to help them adapt to new surroundings.

They give a few different examples, but this is one example I gave to my kiddies.

Take two ppl.
One is a typist and the other is an olympic runner. God has equipped them with the same muscles in each person's body.

The runner has trained hard and built up his muscles to be strong, to make him fast, while the typist's muscles aren't as developed b/c of the different "environment" or jobs they each have.

If you read the article to which the link refers to, this will hopefully make more sense.

May God bless you with this article and may it develope more curiousity in you to study creationism more.


"It is an exciting time to be a creation scientist. As secular scientists discover more data about our world and intensify their challenges against the Creator, we are forced to study the Word of God in greater depth and examine our world more closely. The “trials” allow us to discover more truths about God, magnifying His glory and wisdom. " -Answers in Genesis article

I hope you get the chance to go to Cincinnati, and absorb AIG's museum. It is SUCH a delight! My family lives about 8 miles from it. After we were through with school (while on our 4 mo visit), we'd pop over to the museum for an afternoon speaker.

Great stuff!
