Ultimately, the arrival of the theory of evolution displaced the need to invoke God to explain the order of the natural world. The early design arguments took the order and complexity of biological systems such as the eye and beseeched God as an explanation of them. The theory of evolution can now explain how simple organisms developed into the complex beings that we see around us, and obviously are ourselves. It may be, then, that these arguments from design are no longer compelling. C)…
accepted. But there are still many who oppose it with their substitute being Intelligent Design. Evolution is the theory that traits are selected through natural selection, and that the more successful individuals will have more offspring and pass their unique trait down. The idea of Intelligent Design is that all species were created by an intelligent being, be it a god or extra-terrestrials. Both Evolution and Intelligent Design have support. Evolution has several traced evolutionary…
The system of education our children learn from is already subjugated from cries for change and reform. But coupled with morals and idea of right and wrong the education system is the battleground between ideas that strongly divide these United States. The theories of evolution and intelligent design are both yet theories and both are strongly supported and, simultaneously refuted by many; they uphold the roots of traditional religion and modern thinking, and are continuously heavily debated.…
Intelligent Design on Trial Intelligent Design on Trial is a documentary over the Kitzmiller v Dover case. In this case, teaching intelligent design in public schools was ruled to be unconstitutional. This case brought about the question of whether or not intelligent design is a science, and should it be taught in science classes in public schools. In Pennsylvania, teachers refused to read a statement about intelligent design being related to Darwin’s Theory of Evolution. Because of this…
AI already has uses in the military, for example, a recent development in explosive weaponry involves a rocket that can fly itself and determine a target without human interaction. Without any radio transmission, radar and other detection systems will be unable to detect this type of rocket. This causes one to ponder the harsh reality that AI will be used for. These weapons do not require humans to decide who to kill. Besides military uses AI has its place in the medical office as well.…
Virginia public schools that do not already include intelligent design and creationism into their curriculum should be required to. There are many people in the scientific community that regard creationism and intelligent design as pseudoscience. They believe this because they claim there is a lack of scientific proof for both theories and an abundance for their own. However, Creationism and Intelligent Design both have evidences for their legitimacy. The Virginia Board of Education (VBOE) and…
Unsurprisingly, many creationists and creation scientists are against the teaching of evolution in schools. For example, extreme creationist Jack Wellman, a Christian author who holds a BA in history as well as degrees in science and education, claims that evolution cannot be validated as factual because it cannot be proven (Wellman). He argues that since evolution cannot be observed in a lab, it cannot be confirmed, making it merely a theory. Also, he argues that there are no “transitional…
We live in an era of intelligent technology where our watches tell us not only the time, but they also remind us to exercise. Our phones recommend the best places to hang out, and our computers predict our preferences, helping us to do our daily work more efficiently. However, all of these digital assistants demonstrate only a tiny sliver of artificial intelligence, and it’s plain to see how we’re still ages away from Skynet and Blade Runner scenarios. Or are we? Since the beginning of the…
Close your eyes and take a deep breath. Imagine a world where ape-like people reign supreme. You communicate by a series of grunts, but as you evolve you are able to form speech. Constantly, other creatures are evolving just like you. In a few years, you will all be humans! Now open your eyes. This is a lie, a fairytale, and something formed from imagination. Yet, Evolutionist believe this with a fiery passion. In The Lie: Evolution, Ken Ham shows us the key to defending our faith through…
Creationism Vs. Evolution Why believe in creationism when the majority of evidence points to evolution? Both theories have different ideas. Creationists have the belief/idea that the universe and living organisms emerge from the specific acts of divine creation, as in the biblical account, rather than by natural processes such as evolution. Evolution as in the theory in biology where assuming the various types of living things on the earth have their own origin in other preexisting types and…
