On one hand, its not — it doesn mean a lot. On the other hand, it means quite a bit?
A. On the one hand, it’s not necessary. But on the other hand, it can offer support to a Christian world view. And if I might refer back to the Big Bang, the Big Bang was taken by a number of people as evidence for a theological world view, and Christians have used that to argue for the plausibility of Christian views. Nonetheless, simply because the Big Bang is compatible with Christianity, and because it makes some theistic views seem more plausible, that does not mean that the Big Bang itself is not a scientific theory. And in the same sense, just because intelligent design is compatible with Christian views, or because it makes such views or other theistic views seem more plausible does not mean that intelligent design itself is not a scientific theory.
