Fuller's intelligent design

Francis X RemediosVal Dusek

pp. 65-91

Abstract

This chapter is Fuller's version of Intelligent Design (ID) in opposition to evolutionary theorists, and the controversy concerning it is discussed. This chapter discusses why ID is important to Fuller in terms of defending the spiritual distinctiveness of humanity. He claims doing science is to participate in the mind of God, since humanity is created in the image and likeness of God. Fuller contrasts what he claims is the natural history approach of Darwin and evolutionists with molecular biology, claiming ID is linked to the latter. Fuller's claims concerning the scientific status of evolutionary theory are criticized.
