For ideas to prosper, they must satisfy. In his Art of Persuasion, Blaise Pascal wrote, “People
almost invariably arrive at their beliefs not on the basis of proof but on the basis of what they
find attractive.”
Pascal was not talking about people merely believing what they want to believe,
as in wish-fulfillment. Rather, he was talking about people being swept away by attractive ideas
that capture their heart and imagination. Darwinism has played that role for many intellectuals,
providing a compelling vision of life and the world.
But visions endure only so long as they can be grounded in reality. The Darwinian vision of
life is fast losing touch with reality, and specifically with the design that pervades the world at
the biochemical level, a world about which Darwin knew nothing. As with all dying paradigms,
Darwinism’s old guard will not, to paraphrase Dylan Thomas, go gently into that good night.
Count on them to rage against the dying light. Notwithstanding, the Darwinian vision is on the
way out, to be replaced by a new vision that captures our imagination and at the same time is
grounded in reality. Intelligent design is that new vision.

No he isn't. No it's not, and no it's not. Your mom is that new vision.
