With all the talk about the possibility of an Avian flu pandemic, an important question has gone unanswered. Will this new virus be the result of evolution, or will it be the result of intelligent design (ID)? It is a tough one, and we could use some help. So far, we've only heard from the scientists, who have taken a very strong stand on the pandemic. They say it is not a question of "if", but only a question of when.
The intelligent design community, on the other hand, has been totally speechless, which is not like them. Now, I realize they are busy, what with trying to get ID into schools, discredit Darwin and all that. However, this virus mutation, or virus redesign, seems like it really comes under their area of study. So, maybe the ID experts could weigh-in and give us the benefit of their insight.
The first question is obviously whether the pandemic is even coming. The scientists say it is definite. But, maybe ID'ers know different. The second question is, if this flu virus does mutate, I mean change, is it due to Intelligent Design? Because if it is, maybe this affects how we respond.
