Andrew Halloway reports on how Intelligent Design and creationism are gaining ground across the world.
In a major article titled ‘In the beginning’, the April 19 2007 issue of The Economist said, ‘The debate over creation and evolution is fast going global’. After debating whether or not the Pope supported Intelligent Design (ID), it stated: ‘Not that the advocates of Intelligent Design or outright creationists are in need of anyone’s endorsement… their ideas are flourishing and their numbers growing.’
Both creationism and ID argue that the world shows evidence of a Designer. Creationism goes further and also argues for the specific process of creation as outlined in the Bible. But both aim to expose the deficiences of evolution, and it seems that their efforts are succeeding, way beyond their origins in America and Britain.
