Quote by Tony Campolo
While a case can be made for intelligent design, I can't figure out why some Christians are so thrilled about that possibility. First of all, it doesn't prove there's a God. If anything, intelligent design lends support to some form of pantheism that defines God as immanent within nature.
Summary
This quote questions the enthusiasm of some Christians towards the concept of intelligent design. It suggests that while intelligent design arguments may be made, they do not necessarily prove the existence of God. Instead, the quote proposes that intelligent design could align more closely with a pantheistic belief, where God is regarded as inherent in nature itself. The author's confusion arises from the observation that Christians, who traditionally worship a transcendent God, would be enthusiastic about a theory that seemingly supports a different understanding of divine existence.
