What if Evolution is Compatible with Design After All?

It is problematical to the extent that it gives credibility to ID arguments that evolution is too improbable to have occurred without divine assistance. I have in fact seen one ID advocate on this forum repeatedly cite Kojonen for cover when the opinion of more critical observers of ID have been raised.

I think the general level of detachment from science (commented upon by both you and @Mercer) rather undercuts any credibility this line of argument can have in being connected to the relationship between Religion and Science. However, given that Kojonen is a Theology Post-Doc, this level of detachment is perhaps understandable.

It is also of course possible (though I don’t think probable) that Kojonen’s book, The Compatibility of Evolution and Design, contains more scientific grounding for his claims, that were omitted for brevity from Glass’s summary.
