After reading the passage, it is safe to assume:

1. The author is not a believer in intelligent design.
2. The author is a believer in intelligent design.
3. The author is not sure about where we come from.
4. The author believes mankind's destiny is dependent on his understanding of science.

Answer 4 is correct. While there may be elements of truth in Answers 1 and 3, they don't really speak to what the passage is about. And while there are scientists, who believe in some form of intelligent design, they are in the minority within the scientific community.
