Unity in Diversity: Christian Designarism



 1. Faith: Christian Designarism begins with the belief in a personal, intelligent Creator—God—who designed the universe with purpose. This faith is not a blind leap but is supported by the logical coherence and historical reliability of the Christian worldview. Faith fills in where human reason reaches its limits, particularly in areas like morality, meaning, and our understanding of eternity.

 2. Logic: The foundation of Christian Designarism is rooted in the belief that the universe operates under consistent laws of logic and reason, which reflect the orderly mind of God. This contrasts with a naturalistic worldview that struggles to account for the very existence of logic in a universe supposedly born from chaos or randomness. Logic and reason, far from being the enemies of faith, are viewed as reflections of God’s rational nature, supporting concepts such as the fine-tuning of the universe and the ordered complexity of life.

 3. Morality: Christian Designarism posits that objective moral values exist because they stem from God’s nature. The moral order we observe—principles of justice, love, and human dignity—points to a Designer who has embedded these values in creation. This contrasts with moral relativism often associated with naturalism, where morality becomes subjective and culturally dependent, lacking a universal foundation. Christian morality isn’t just ethical guidelines but part of a larger design intended to reflect God’s character and bring about human flourishing.

 4. Science: Science, within the framework of Christian Designarism, is viewed as a means to discover the intricacies of God’s creation. This view allows for an open exploration of both natural and intelligent causes. Unlike Methodological Naturalism, which limits explanations to purely natural causes, Christian Designarism acknowledges that some features of the universe—such as the fine-tuning for life, biological complexity, and the origins of consciousness—points to a purposeful design. Far from stifling science, this approach enhances scientific inquiry by allowing for a broader range of explanations based on evidence.


In this synthesis, Christian Designarism sees no conflict between faith, logic, morality, and science; rather, it proposes that these domains are harmonious when viewed through the lens of design. The universe’s order, human morality, and our capacity for reason all point to a Creator who not only initiated the cosmos but remains actively involved in its purpose.

Eckhart Tolle - Christian Response

Unbelievable! ...The extent man not founded upon Christ will go and follow in their quest and pursuit of self and attempts to explain away reality and sin. Here's Oprah's spiritual sage... Response: 1. He resurrects errors of the past which deny reality by seeking to replace it with forms. 2. By reducing the past to forms (or photo albums) he not only denies the reality of the past but the extent of it's connectedness and relationship to the present. This error he also translates in regard to the future. 3. He establishes a false premise that one can separate the reality of the present ("now") from reality itself, which he vests in onesself (though he inconsistently goes on to suggest that life is found in abandoning oneself) 4. He has no grounds or basis for assuming reality is found in self (and apart from everything else, or only what one want's to allow) 5. By denying the truth of God, he falsely asserts that the future is no longer problematic...

Eckhart Tolle Christianity (Understanding Eckhart Tolle - Comparison / Difference with Christianity)

I believe it important that both believers and unbelievers understand the difference between the teaching of Eckhart Tolle and Christianity. Here's a brief post to introduce you to a few of the significant differences. (Note, I've just been exposed to Tolle, but it doesn't seem to take long to discern the differences) Context (the problem)Taken from here .: Despite Oprah and Eckhart's reduction of Christianity to but one "way" amongst many other equally legitimate ways to God, and their calling Christ a "revolutionary" who has been misunderstood by the Church, and who simply came to manifest "Christ-consciousness", a quick search through the internet reveals that many Christians are following Oprah in attempting to fuse together the teachings of Eckhart, and the doctrines of the historical Christian church. Great website to gain quick summary of Eckhart's beliefs/teachings: Ripples on the Surface of Being Key Responses by Eckhart To...

Global Blasphemy Laws

One of the interesting things about discussions surrounding blasphemy laws (whether by the UN or others)is they cannot be conducted without coming back to the central question: What is Truth? Seems this was the question in Jesus' day, it's the question which comes us today, and it's a question which cannot be avoided. ... suppose God intended it to be this way?
