Evidence is just data. What’s important is how one interprets the data.
A company’s financial ledger, for example, is just data. A negative bottom
line may mean that the company is a bad investment or it may be a good
investment – depending on what you believe to be true about that company
and their business practices. Similarly, the beauty and complexity of life
is a fact. Whether it points to haphazard naturalistic processes or the
grand design of a magnificent God depends on how one interprets the data.
Today we will compare some different interpretations of the same data. It
is ours to decide what it implies.
