Design without a designer

Darwin grew up in an England that acknowledge a biblical worldview. When he wrote On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection or The Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life, he had witnessed a world fall of death and disease. How could this be the world created by the God of the Bible? Evolutionary ideas offered people an alternative to a supernatural Creator. Life may appear to be designed but it is just a product of random changes over millions of years of earth history. This offered people a "scientific" means to reject God and believe in a naturalistic view of the universe. Micheal Denton suggests that the chief impact of Darwin's idea was to make atheism possible and respectable in light of the evidence for a Designer. Darwin's ideas fostered an environment where God was no longer needed-nature was all that was necessary. Darwin's ideas ushered in a pagan era that is now reaching a critical point. The idea that the appearance of design suggests a designer became an invalid argument in the eyes of evolutionists.
