What is the difference between design and creation? And do we say about God that he is designed? The answer is: of course, creation is a matter of faith, and design is a scientific term that can be interpreted as "a structure or an event or something that has appeared to intelligently match the means and their purpose"...
This question is often asked since we support the intelligent design movement:
What is the difference between design and creation?
The answer is:
Of course, creationism is a complex issue of faith, and design is a scientific term that can be interpreted as "a structure, an event, or something that has grown into an intelligent match between means and purpose."
Design is part of the structure of creation that can be researched and proven by scientific means.
Creation is a matter of faith with many mysteries whose validity we recognize according to our conviction of the validity of their source, which has been proved by evidence of another kind.
As for God, we do not say that we propose intelligent design to prove, for example, that God is the designer, God is the creator as he called himself so, and creation is an obvious issue that man cannot deny without contradicting himself, he denies the existence of a creator of the universe and life, he will continue to believe against his will that everything is a creator, and will continue to ask about the creator of everything new he sees and does not know his creator.
Finally, do we say that God is the designer? Or do we say that the designer is one of the names of God? Of course not, because the names of God are suspended, but the door to tell about God is wider than the door of names and qualities as prescribed by the scholars of the faith, so the word of the maker for example and the ability to tell about God, yet we do not say that the names of God is the maker, and the same applies to the word of the designer.
But even though it is permissible, we do not suggest it at all, because this opens the door to an obnoxious scientific theory, the theory of design is basically nothing but a theory and can not be equated with creation or be a substitute for it, and part of being a scientific theory that it can be refuted, unlike creation, which is intuitive and can not be separated from man, so we always say by reducing scientific statements and not to build faith on them.
The theory of intelligent design is nothing more than a support for faith, and is by no means a proof of faith.
