As I delved deeper into the complexities of reality—its origins, its governing principles, and the apparent harmony between the natural world and human existence—I realized that many existing frameworks fell short of providing a cohesive explanation. Naturalism, for all its reliance on time, chance, and emergent complexity, failed to account for foundational truths like logic, mathematics, information, and intentionality. Theologically rigid interpretations sometimes struggled to harmonize with scientific observations. I felt compelled to address this gap, not by discarding faith or reason, but by uniting them into a holistic worldview.
Biblical Christian Designarism emerged from this pursuit. At its core, it is a Scripturally aligned, programmatic understanding of reality, grounded in the belief that an Ultimate Orchestrating Mind (UOM) governs every layer of existence. This hierarchy—from logic to mathematics, information, possibilities, probabilities, and physical reality—reveals a universe that is intentional, coherent, and deeply meaningful. Each layer depends on the previous, evidencing a Creator who designed reality with purpose and precision.
I introduced this framework because I saw a need for an interpretive model that does justice to both Scripture and science. The more I studied, the more apparent it became that these two "books" of revelation—God's Word and God's World—are not in conflict. Rather, they are complementary witnesses to His wisdom and glory. Designarism allows us to explore this harmony by acknowledging the immediacy of divine action alongside the procedural unfolding of creation’s systems.
This framework became especially vital as I grappled with questions about events like the creation week, the pre-Fall world, and the Flood. How could we account for the fossil record, radiometric evidence, or the apparent age of the cosmos without undermining the literal reading of Genesis? Designarism provided answers: by introducing multi-threaded processes, where geological time could be accelerated while biological time remained constant, I could reconcile these phenomena within a shorter biblical timeline.
I felt compelled to share this framework because it offers more than just intellectual satisfaction—it deepens our awe for God. It demonstrates that faith is not a retreat from reason but an invitation to engage with it fully. Designarism bridges the divide between theology and science, allowing us to embrace both the complexity of reality and the simplicity of its Creator’s intent.
Ultimately, I introduced this framework because I believe it reflects the truth of the world as God has made it: intentional, ordered, and designed for discovery. My hope is that Designarism inspires others to see the profound coherence of God’s creation and to approach both Scripture and science with renewed wonder and humility.
