The argument for intelligent design basically depends on saying, 'You haven't answered every question with evolution,'... Well, guess what? Science can't answer every question.

Like many other scientists who hold the Catholic faith, I see the Creator's plan and purpose fulfilled in our universe. I see a planet bursting with evolutionary possibilities, a continuing creation in which the Divine providence is manifest in every living thing. I see a science that tells us there is indeed a design to life.

We don't regard any scientific theory as the absolute truth.

The scientific argument advanced for intelligent design at the Dover trial, those arguments collapsed, scientifically and intellectually.

We don't regard any scientific theory as the absolute truth.

The new strategy is to teach intelligent design without calling it intelligent design.

I am always struck by the fact that human awareness of our place in nature, like so much of modern science, began with the Industrial Revolution.
