Among the many arguments for intelligent design, Behe’s argument of irreduciblecomplexityisbyfaroneofthemostfascinatingones. Whilemany may consider Darwin’s theory of evolution to be the catch-all argument that irrefutably demolishes any and all argument for intelligent design, Behe manages not only to propose a design theory compatible with it, but also to use it to further empower his argument.

But those are still a work in progress and it will be a few years until we see those on any type of vehicle. So in…

I did multiple science fair projects and even a Rube Goldberg project. I also enjoy going to museums and watching theatre and I wish that I could draw or paint, but I do not have that talent. As described before, I do not tend to go with the mainstream society. My ideas and preferences are eccentric and…

Organizations So far I have participated in three clubs: Band (6-9th grade), NJHS (National Juniors Honors Society—8th grade) and now a dance organization at my school called Skillz Squad. Furthermore in band, the only meetings we did have were “convocations” for sectionals in order to prepare for UIL (University Interscholastic League) competitions and marching band last year at my current high school because we had a ridiculous passion to beat everybody and anybody in our district in terms of…
