Design in the universe is intuitively obvious to the most casual observer. You see it in DNA numbers, the use of Fibonacci sequence throughout nature and order in the physical laws. Where does the design come from? It has to either be Nature that makes the design decisions by random chance, or a transcendent God outside of the universe using design engineering principles that are purposeful and function. If it is a Nature god, if it is true, there would be no order to design, physical laws would be unpredictable and science would be impossible. But if there is a transcendent God, the universe would be orderly and we should be able to recognize and model natural phenomena and recognize patterns.
The concept of evolution has been ingrained into society and it causes us not to take the Bible seriously. The problem extends even to creationists who incorporate terms like natural selection into their theories to where their ideas sound Darwinian in spite of the evidence against it. Rich Overman explains that there is a better model to explain variation within species called Continuous Environmental Tracking where God design resilience within the genetic code to deal with environmental changes using epigenetics, and that variability is confused with genetic mutations, which are the source of disease and death, not the introduction of new genetic information.
