Abstract

We have found nothing that suggests that it would be doxastically irresponsible for a well-educated, intellectually sophisticated person to take herself to be able to perceive that biological structures have been created. This allows us to draw the conclusion that, possibly, there exist people who know that biological nature is creation. Those people know this because they see that biological structures are expressive of the intent and intelligence of a creator, and because they take their experiences seriously — that is, as revelatory of how things really are. Other people also see that biological structures are (or from their view point seem to be) expressive of intent and intelligence, but they take their experiences to be illusory. Those people do not know that nature is creation, since they do not believe that it is (or do not believe that their experiences reveal how things really are1).
