Without being terribly knowledgeable on the subject, I agree that Darwinism (and especially its current incarnation) is unworkable.... but I do hold out that the discovery of some as yet undetected mechanism could tie it together a bit. Who knows.... definitely not me. :)
The Porche is a product of intelligent design (surely an oxymoronic statement) and evolution. Materialistic evolutionary theory insists there is no intelligence, and fundamentalistic Christians insist that God's creations are perfect - and hence evolution is not possible, because it is not necessary. But, the animistic logic is that both are not only real but necessary.
The Porche example is not unfair here. There is virtually nothing of human artifice that is not about (intelligent - even stupid) design and subsequent evolution. Humans are part of nature, even if you accept the proposition that we are 'special creations'. What is the story of humanity but the necessity of evolving from a 'created' state and the subsequent the 'fall', then the demand we evolve toward a redemption? I am not saying take this literally, only that the core Christian theme is a fusion of both design and evolution - unless you want to argue that evolution exists only because of original sin - and then only in humans.
It is useful to recall that evolution has two aspects - the aspirational and adaptive. The two can be combined - as in a Porche or an iPhone. Darwin dealt with adaptive evolution - as with the finches of the Galapagos, and aspirational evolution through intentional breeding. We mix both together and cause confusion.
Materialism denies the presence of spirit, and so assumes that all adaptive evolution must be via chance. But once you elude the 'there is no such thing as spirit, therefore it must be chance' trap then idea is actually quite idiotic. And aspirational evolution always has an agent to aspire and to select. The idea of 'natural selection' is sensible only if nature is the agent that does the selecting. Evolution by chance is a science fiction that is dogmatic in its origin - it
must be this because no other agent is acceptable.
Recall the famous Sherlock Holmes quote -" How often have I said to you that when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth?” The materialists have determined that the divine is impossible, so they are left with the improbable 'truth' of chance. But Holmes did not mean the elimination of ideas as impossible on dogmatic terms.
Evolution is a perfectly fine and necessary idea - as adaptation and as aspiration. But it needs intelligence in both cases. The choice between chance and intelligence is also a choice between intelligence being fundamental to nature or an emergent property of it. That may have been an argument of some merit 13.8 billion years ago. But even if intelligence is an emergent property of physical existence it has had 13.8 billion years to evolve - into what? Into a controlling creative agency maybe? At some stage in its evolutionary journey it maybe developed an aspirational capacity too. At some stage, maybe what started off as chance has become intent - organised into intelligent purpose.
I am making the point that there is no necessary tension between dogmas. What is now is relational and interactive to some and a dynamic but incomprehensible mass to others. We have the opportunity to experience what is according to the lights of materialists or animists. Both are acknowledged as possible states of mind. Whether either is an objective reality is not a question that can be answered from the POV of a dispassionate observer. It has to be via experience engaged with unconditionally. We must choose.
I am haunted by the words 'Faint heart ne'er won fair lady.' Back in my late teens those words were uttered by a woman who had entranced me. I had a faint heart then. Now that 'fair lady' is Sophia, Wisdom. We have to make choices, which are, finally, metaphysical guesses about what we dare believe. We cannot know for sure what is or is not, but we can know what is good and right for us.
