Lucifer's True History of Everything

In today's issue of the Discovery Institute (no relation to the Discovery Channel), there's a surprisingly smart article by Robert Crowther concerning "Intelligent Design." I'm not talking about a home-decor magazine. Intelligent Design is a new educational movement in the USA, supported by George W. Bush, the goals of which are to "harmonise science with Scripture" and to teach American school children the true story of the origins of the universe. In the words of President Bush, "The science of intelligent design teaches us that anything so clever as a human being must have been planned out for a very long time [and assembled quickly], by a Triune Being who was Themself well designed, and who was Himselves even more clever than the human."
(Yes, that's verbatim, but it's not his fault: whenever President Bush tries to speak about religion, in rational English, the holy Trinity gives him pronoun trouble.)
I'd rather not take sides in that American debate. I am no big cheerleader for God. As a Creator, the Lord has always been a disappointment to me. To me, He's like a big brother who never really lived up to his potential. I am reminded of the old proverb: Everything God ever made, has died. But it's not just that. Imagine a creative artist who wishes to be the next Steven Spielberg; so he cranks out a low-budget sci-fi film in just six days, then gets angry and goes into hiding when his first two viewers don't give him the kind of response he was looking for. That's God for you. He has the wrong attitude for a Creator. In my opinion.
Still, one is forced to concede that these "Intelligent Design" folks have a point, one of which is that historical truth is, in fact, on their side. The so-called "science of evolution" supposes that the human species developed over hundreds of millions of years from a lower life form, by a process of natural selection, without a fully conscious, providential plan. Hello? Have these people never read the Holy Bible?
Darwinists expect me to endorse evolution as a satisfactory, politically correct explanation for the human race. I cannot do that. Here are the sad, plain facts: the first man, Adam, was made with God's own hands from a lump of dirt, and it all happened very quickly. Fifteen minutes, in and out, tops. I was there when it happened.
