The Intelligent Investor

Upon completion of chapter 8, I thought: “yes. Intelligent Design, when science needs diving help, this is completely what Collins is advocating for.” I was wrong again. Intelligent Design is a means to explain the incredible complexity of today’s world. Collins presents the three main propositions of Intelligent Design: “Evolution promotes an atheistic worldview”, “evolution is fundamentally flawed, since it cannot account for…

In this assignment I am going to compare the teleological argument with evolution and see how it differs in opinion. I will also look at what seems the most realistic approach. The teleological argument is an argument in which can also be known as design arguments. The teleological argument is famously associated with ST. Thomas Aquinas who states that the design argument is one of his five ways of knowing that God is real and that he exists. The teleological argument uses evidence from nature…

The Supreme Court first strategy to solve the case was to see if this idea or concept already exists before the Monsanto Company use it in their business plan. Surprisingly, they discovered a scientist, Dr. John Olin, produced a chemical compound that will get rid of weeds without causing harm or damage to any plant known as CP 53619. It was made up of 2 Chloro-2, 6 Diethyl-N-(Butoxy-Methyl)-Acetanilide which was the perfect amount of toxic mixed together to fight off weeds. The International…

Should evolution be a required component of biology classes in high schools? No, I do not believe evolution should be a required component of biology classes in high school. The theory itself is not scientifically sound. Also, the teachers are unequipped to teach evolution. Lastly, if the theory of evolution is taught in public schools, the content may offend religious students. Because of these reasons, I do not believe evolution should be a required component of biology classes. There are…

Kenneth Miller was the chief witness for the prosecution in the Dover Pennsylvania trial on the teaching of Intelligent Design (ID) in the high school biology curriculum. Miller had many critiques against ID as a scientific explanation. Firstly, evolution binds science together and is a sign of the health of science. Secondly, the source of answers for questions about nature must come from nature itself. Thirdly, for an idea to be considered scientifically correct it has to be peer reviewed, but…

require intelligent design presented as an alternative to the evolution theory. An alternative textbook advocating intelligent design, was to be used as a reference book. The judge found intelligent design as a form of creationism and ruled it violated the First Amendment of the Constitution. The ruling caused an uproar in different opinions and remarks from both sides. The whole argument could have could have been solved if the school had decided to teach both evolution and intelligent design.…

In this paper, I will defend David Hume’s arguments for the design argument, which states that the design argument fails. Hume’s objections to the design argument are first, that we cannot compare human artifacts to the universe because these are too different; second, that we have not witnessed the design of a universe; and third, that we cannot conclude that God is the only one. He criticizes the design argument by pointing out that the analogy is based only on limited experience, making it…

Evolution or Creation? Who is up to to decide whether or not children have an opportunity to believe in either one? “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth” (Gen. 1:1). This Bible verse has not only been questioned for thousands of years but has led to some of the most debated, passionate and public court cases and arguments of all time. The major debate over evolution and creationism is whether or not these topics should be taught in school. And if they are taught to students,…

destruction of human labour and community? The purpose of this essay is to explore the fundamentals of AI and the its implications for human society. Modern day scientists are currently faced with the question of whether or not humans should build an intelligent, self-governing machine. In order to understand the implications…

Looking at the idea around Intelligent Design and the idea of there being a designer was quite interesting to read about this semester. Francisco Ayala wrote an article called, Darwin’s greatest discovery: Design without designer. He writes that the theory of evolution is about chance and necessity along with randomness and determinism. Darwin accepted that organisms are “designed” as many like to call it and are basically functionally organized (Ayala 1). He explains his idea of common descent…
