Intelligent Design
Intelligent design is the view that the complexity and order of the universe point to a purposeful Creator.
The Church teaches that the order and harmony of the world result from the diversity of beings (CCC 341). Reason can know God from His works (CCC 32, 36).
Frequently Asked Questions
