It needs to be pointed out that intelligent design (ID) theory is not about the creation of life, but about the immortality of life. Human life exists, and it has never been demonstrated that at one time no human life existed. The principle of biogenesis has not been falsified, stating that life comes only from life akin to itself, and never from non-life.

So based on the eternity of human life, and on the observation of nature, the inference is rational that human intelligence generated the universe for the production of human intelligence in its own image, similarly as a seed generates an immense tree for the production of seeds in its own image.

Put simply, ID theory's common ancestor is not evolution's first primitive life form, but the existing highest form of life. Whereas the delusion of evolution from a simple beginning violates the principle of causality by attempting to derive from a simple cause what that cause clearly does not have, namely greater complexity, ID theory derives all forms of life from the existing highest form of life, in line with the principle of causality.

ID proponents fail to identify the intelligence behind creation, and in their mind it is invisible. I take issue with that, because Christ was most definitely visible, and identified several times as the Creator or seed of the universe. Specifically, in John 1:1-4 we find that "In the beginning was the word,... all things were made through him, ... In him was life, and the life was the light of man."

As any reasonably informed person can see, we are told that the entire universe was created through the word or Logos spermatikos, which living seed is identical with Jesus Christ. We know that the living word which created the universe is the initial seed of the universe because in Luke 8:11 Christ teaches that "The seed is the word of God."

Remarkably, in John 14:9 we find that when Philip, one of Christ's disciples, wanted to see empirical evidence for the Creator's existence, Christ promptly presented the Father's body for Philip's examination: "He who has seen me has seen the Father; how can you say, 'Show us the Father'?" Moreover in John 10:30 he provides this identification: "I and the Father are one." Finally, in Revelation 22:13 Christ identifies himself with the cosmic system's input and output: "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end."

Christ's revelation that he constitutes the cosmic system's input and output makes perfect sense. Invariably we find in nature that an egg constitutes a bird's input and output, or a seed constitutes a plant's input and output. Seeing that a seed or genotype constitutes the input and output of all the natural systems whose development we can follow from birth to death, and that they are invariably open systems, why would the universe be the sole exception to that rule?

When we find that the parameters or determining properties of the universe are exquisitely fine-tuned for the production of human life, just as the parameters of a mighty oak are precisely fine-tuned for the production of acorns, the proposal is most rational that the universe yields the complexity of human life because human life generated the universe for the production of human life in its own image.

To conclude, we have all the reason to posit that human life constitutes the cosmic system's input and output, its beginning and end, or its Alpha and Omega, just as Christ made it so evident.
