It is the nonsense of "natural selection" that was truly devolutionary.

 

…the true leader is… not a revolutionary. He is instead someone who reestablishes the genuine covenant, or contract, that has always guided mankind. He is instead someone who brings his spirit into alignment with what has always been great. He is, therefore, someone who renews, rather than someone who shatters and then too radically and hubristically reshapes; someone who can identify and reserve what is truly nourishing and offer it once again for mass consumption. Such a figure only has as a revolutionary mien when the society against which he is standing has forgotten so much and become so corrupt that the good now makes itself manifest as a shocking revelation.

This is why the idea of intelligent design is perceived as shocking in the modern scientific world. It was not always so. Science was born out of a conviction of intelligent design as the foundation stone of reality. Intelligent design is part of the genuine covenant that has always guided mankind. It is the covenant of the eternal reality of the personal which is what we mean by God. The material is built on the personal not the other way around. Modern science has become so entangled with a materialist mindset that it cannot even see what has happened.
