Can Order Exist Without Design?
Skeptics, critics, and atheists insist that order can exist without design. Can there be order without design?
The Bible, however, raises a logical question, and then provides a brief, but profound, answer:
“Look up at the sky! Who created the stars you see? The one who leads them out like an army, he knows how many there are and calls each one by name! His power is so great–not one of them is ever missing!”—Isaiah 40:26 Good News Translation
However, skeptics, critics, and atheists say: “Believers in God are confusing design and order, which are not the same thing. If there is design, then there is order, but if there is order, there is not necessarily design. For example, there is order in the way the planets orbit the Sun, but there is no good evidence that anybody designed it that way. And there is evidence that this order is just part of the inherent fabric of the universe. Gravity is a fact.”
