Irreducible complexity

For a long time, schools have only taught Darwinism in a science setting; but in recent years, the topic of Creationism, and whether or not it should be taught in schools, has been discussed in school board meetings. The problem is, however, that people believe there is no sound argument to disclose that Creationism, or Intelligent Design, is a legitimate science. Therefore, the debate on whether to teach Intelligent Design, along with Darwinism, is a poorly fought battle due to overwhelming…

Have you ever put on someone else’s glasses and you couldn’t see through them because they were either too strong or too weak? A worldview is like a pair of glasses if you look through the right pair everything is clear and makes sense, but if you look through a bad pair everything is distorted and hard to understand. However, in order to learn more about the different worldviews we must first understand what a worldview is. A worldview is defined by what you believe in and the way you view the…

author, and intelligent design (ID) advocate” (Wikipedia). He is a biochemical professor at Lehigh University. Behe serves “as a senior fellow of the Discovery Institute’s Center of Science and Culture. “Behe is best known for his argument for irreducible complexity (IC)” (Wikipedia). “Behe's current research involves delineation of design and natural selection in protein structures” (Discovery Institute). He is current study “involves delineation of design and natural selection in protein…

always been an inspiration and also a force that challenges its limitation. It draws from it its orders and sensibilities and studies its patterns trying to mimic the complexities…

It is obvious, therefore, that the conception of the subject that emerges from Wittgenstein's vision of language and the mind immediately displaces the exclusiveness of the cognitive ego and demands not merely potencies that are foreign to it, but also the recognition of realities that are inaccessible without the cooperation of other modes of knowing that cannot be found in reason alone. But the modern self defines itself as a rational thinking consciousness, and as the organizing and…

earth and life without any assistance from God. As one might imagine, it is centered on the teachings of Dawkins, whose stance on evolution is clear and unforgiving. Dawkins starts out with the argument that “evolution fully accounts for biological complexity and the origins of humankind, so there is no more need for God.” (pp163) I enjoyed Collins’ quick and cunning response: “it certainly does not disprove the idea that God worked out His creative plan by means of evolution.” (pp163-164)…

creationism being defeated on almost all levels of science. The court itself had three major points in its final decisions. First, was that it was illogical to invoke the issue of a supernatural causation for creation. Second, the argument Irreducible complexity used illogical dualism. Lastly,…

no natural evidence to support it. If he intended to stay within the realms of science, then it would be necessary to draw a natural conclusion. One way to do this is by suggesting the Darwinian evolution mechanism is incapable of explaining the complexity of several biological complexes. This is a conclusion that is both repeatable and falsifiable, successfully poses a challenge for Darwinian evolution as the only cause of life, and it could play an active role in improving scientific…

I interviewed two of my co-workers (Dan and Jaclyn) and one person that volunteers in third through fifth grade ministry (Steve). I found it intriguing that none of the people I chose to interview subscribed completely to a literal Biblical Young Earth interpretation. I have summarized their answers below. On the question of length of day, Steve was in the 24 hour camp. His reason was that he believed the text was talking about the amount of light in a given period of time since on the first…

Dualism established the base for positivism, which means that a logical thought based upon valid methods. Descartes advocated for a complete and precise natural science through a method that is analytical. This method involved rearranging broke up pieces in a logical order. Since the scientific revolution that positivism brought, subjects such as chemistry, astronomy, and physics prospered and defined science. Although this was critical for science, by adhering to the scientific method, it leads…
