Dear Members, I request the learned members of this group to kindly shed light what Hinduism says about Intelligent Design theory. Recently, there was much outrage in the academic world when "intelligent design" was proposed by some to be scientific. The theory of "intelligent design" argues that the universe, being so intricately structured, must surely be the design of a super-intelligent being. It is the opposite of evolution, which is the largely observable fact that life and the universe evolves over time, adapting to changes of natural conditions. While creationism simplistically believes in a first cause of everything, evolution says what continually reshapes the world is the complex network of fluxing yet interconnected natural and human-made factors which make up the world itself. I understand that evolution theory has no place in Hinduism, but I would like to know whether this Intelligent design can be equated with Brahman, the Creator.I wish to know what Hinduism tells about this. nivrutta --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
