DNA, Rocks, and Scientific Naturalism

Ask an archeologist about the origin of this seemingly nondescript rock fragment, and he would tell you that this is probably of human origin and that it was used as a toy. He can deduce that it was a toy hedgehog.



Ask the same archeologist about the origin of a strand of DNA, where it takes a supercomputer to decode the gene sequences and unravel its complexity, and he would most likely tell you that it is a product of chance and necessity, and not of any intelligent design.

The problem with modern scientific naturalism is its refusal to entertain any notion that could remotely threaten the hallowed assumptions of Darwin.
