Inherent in an architect’s design is his underlying purpose. His design is a representation of the fore thought toward realizing his intended purpose. A successful design accomplishes the designers plan.
If design implies purposefulness, then it follows that anything that is without design is also without purpose. Design requires an intelligent designer. We would think that all men would agree with this basis premise. So why do some men disagree by denying that there is design? What is the power behind macro-evolution theory that men would willingly give up basis principles of science and logic to embrace or accommodate a world view that has no design or designer?
There is only one answer that provides an adequate explanation. It is found in the following quote from Jesus Christ in one of His kingdom parables…
“…we will not have this man to reign over us” [Luke 19:14].
There is such enmity between the men of this world against their Sovereign that they will believe a lie in their attempts to suppress the truth of the knowledge of God that is evident in what He has made.
Our cultural decline is consistent with the doctrine of Romans 1. The suppression of truth through godless philosophy is the root cause of lawlessness, including the acceptance of abortion and sodomy.

Q. If Christ is the great designer, then what is His purpose in the creation and how can we say that His design is successful?
