- 13. Michael Behe Ironclad proof GOD? DESIGNER? Creationist's dream come true! Professor of Biochemistry At a respected university Research scientist who does experiments Awarded grants Publishes papers in international science journals Revived the hopes of the creationists!
- 14. Darwin’s Black Box, the Biochemical Challenge to Evolution. 1996 Extremely well written Cleverly argued Shows his obvious expertise in biochemistry Most sophisticated attack on evolution to appear in recent years.
- 15. 1) Darwinists are all wrong about evolution. 2) ID is one of the greatest achievements in the history of science, rivaling the achievements of Newton, Einstein and the others. Michael Behe claims:
- 16. NAME-CALLING ● Pennock describes ID as follows: “The last decade of the millennium saw the arrival of a new player in the creation/evolution debate – the intelligent design movement.” ● Barbara Forrest informs the reader that: “Intelligent design theory is the most recent – and most dangerous – manifestation of creationism.”
- 17. Does Survival of the fittest lead to Nazism?!
- 18. • Philip Kitcher, bearing the sarcastic title: “Born-Again Creationism.” • Kenneth Miller starts his discussion of Behe’s book as follows: “The heart and soul of Behe’s treatise against evolution is neither new nor novel. It is the „argument from design,‟ the oldest and best rhetorical weapon against evolution… Behe has dusted off the argument from design, spiffed it up with the terminology of modern biochemistry, and then applied it to the proteins and macromolecular machines that run the living cell.”
- 19. William Paley in 1803 A watch proves the existence of a watchmaker the extreme complexity of the universe proves the existence of its Maker! complex molecules, intricate crystals, vertex structure of type II superconductors, fractal symmetry, etc.
- 20. IRREDUCIBLE COMPLEXITY Extremely complex structures can evolve gradually according to the standard Darwinian mechanism for evolution, But not when irreducible complexity is involved. Evolution within the lowest levels of biological classification might be purely Darwinian, but the origin of higher-level groups requires designed mutations.
- 23. • Robert Dorit7: “Many of the proteins of the eye lens, for example, began their careers doing something completely different and unrelated to vision. Evolution is a creative scavenger, taking what is available and putting it to new use. The correct metaphor for the Darwinian process is not that of a First World engineer, but that of a Third World auto mechanic who will get your car running again, but only if the parts already lying around can be used for the repair”. • H. Allen Orr8 dismisses the above proposed refutation of ID: “We might think that some of the parts of an irreducibly complex system evolved step by step for some other purpose and were then recruited wholesale to a new function [which is precisely what Dorit proposed]. But this is unlikely. You may as well hope that half your car’s transmission will suddenly help out in the airbag department. Such things might happen very, very rarely, but they surely do not offer a general solution to irreducible complexity.”
- 25. HISTORICAL PRECEDENTS FOR ID Intelligent Design is not a new concept.
- 26. The dazzling sun, whose brilliance provides the light, heat and energy that makes life on earth possible, seemed to have no explanation other than the “sun god.” Helios Poseidon Raging seas, towering waves, daily tides, terrifying hurricanes all these seemed to have no possible explanation other than the activities of the “god of the seas.”
