The problem of good as it faces the atheist is this: Nature, which is the nuts-and-bolts reality for the atheist, has no values and thus can offer no grounding for good and evil. Values on the atheist view are subjective and contingent.

Intelligent design, unlike creationism, is a science in its own right and can stand on its own feet.

Intelligent Design opens the whole possibility of us being created in the image of a benevolent God.

Intelligent design is just the Logos theology of John's Gospel restated in the idiom of information theory.

Because we don't see the evil destroyed now and thus experience the suffering that evil inevitably inflicts, we are tempted to doubt God's existence and goodness.

Without a unified political climate of opinion, there is little or no political profit in doing the right thing.

The fundamental claim of intelligent design is straightforward and easily intelligible: namely, there are natural systems that cannot be adequately explained in terms of undirected natural forces and that exhibit features which in any other circumstance we would attribute to intelligence.
