The Problem of Evil and ID Creationism
Channel: C0nc0rdance

WARNING:  Biologist attempting Philosophy!  Watch at your own risk.  Most of the images are pretty mild, but some people are disturbed by medical images.  I've also censored some classic works of art (that are prominently displayed in churches) that depict non-sexual human anatomy.  I've done this to remove any objections to the content.

Intelligent Design Creationism, in an attempt to subvert the Constitutional protections against religious education in public schools, have jettisoned the Biblical creation story.  Along with that, they have lost the "Fallen Eden/Free Will" defense of the Problem of Evil.  This creates a special situation where they insist on an interventionist God without a strong position of theodicy.

My primary goal for this video is to show one of many religious or theological objections to Intelligent Design Creationism.  It's important to remember that IDC does not represent many intelligent Christians.

Much of this was taken from Bill Dembski's response to Fr. Edward Oakes.
