Evolving Science
Will believers in Intelligent Design be able to embrace the incredibly promising and innovative solutions outlined in Luke Bawazer’s Tedtalk while rejecting Darwin’s theory?
Yes. One will be able to believe in intelligent Design while embracing Mr. Bawazer's ideals. It is easy to see that Darwin's theory is not longer accurate as we learn more about life at a molecular level. Darwin talked about a cell as a blob of goo. Not holding very much. Now as microscopes can see at a cellular level and past. We can see that the cell is very complex and that there is mechanical parts within the cell at the bacterial level. It is not something simple but rather complex. In the video “What Darwin Didn’t Know” they mention that contrary to Darwin’s beliefs “the smaller the life-form, the more complex “ Bawazer wants to take all these cells inside the different lifeforms and use their power to solve our problems in today's world. Using living cells to power cellphones, bacteria in batteries, and whatnot. It would change the way we look and use all technology. But just like Darwin’s theory being proved not helpful in our changing society. I wounder how many problems will come up with Bawazer's ideals. So much of Hollywood's hit movies have touched on the topic of “playing God with science” Think Jurassic Park, Evolution, and The 6th day. Those movies have predicted how wrong science can go when we start playing God with living DNA. Obviously these tales are based in fiction, but there is truth in fiction. Was there not a time, when the world being round was nothing more then fiction thought up by a man? I will be interested to see how they handle living life in objects and the responsibility and care that need to go with this discovery.

How does the science discussed by Bawazer relate to Bronowski’s belief about science as imaginative and creative? Bawazer

    While reading Darwin’s Black Box, I felt a little like cheering on the home team for a high school or college basketball team. Like going to the home town game out of a felt obligation, reading Behe’s book would not have been my first choice, but after the first quarter…er chapters I was glad I was reading it. This book sort of plays out like a basketball game, as Behe takes the time to not only support Intelligent design (Offence) but answers the critics of I.D. (Defense) in a very open way, if not always a friendly rivalry. At times I cheered on the rhetoric of I.D. and at other times I was “yelling” at the home town coach, but either way the result will be the same,…

    First of all, intelligent design claims that intelligent causes are necessary to explain the complexity-rich structures of the life surrounding us and it harbors on the idea of irreducible complexity. Irreducible complexity states how a single system is composed of several well-matched interacting parts that contribute to a basic function, and removal of any one of the parts causes the system to not work properly. Believers of intelligent design think that some biological aspects are too complicated to have evolved on their…

    Darwin’s challenge was then answered by Michael Behe, a biochemist who advocates Intelligent Design. Behe had explained his findings in his book ‘Darwin’s Black Box'. Behe claims that opening the ‘black box’ of cells, there are numerous examples of complex molecular machines that absolutely break down the theory of natural selection as a way of explaining all living systems. An example that Behe used was the cilium. These are tiny hair-like structures based on the outside of cells that help move fluid. Behe argued that within the structure, there are many little components within that allow the cilium to function. Behe had said that if the cilium did not have a motor protein, the microtubules in the cilium would not slide and it would…

    Teleological Argument

    • 4 Pages

    Science works within the frameworks of pre-existing assumptions and for Darwin’s theory to work it is on the condition that there is teleology in nature. Organisms survive because they are teleological as opposed to stating they are teleological because they survived. There is no escaping the fact that the universe is an intelligent design which must have been created by an intelligent designer (McGrath, 2010). This assumption explains it existence and what it is while the cosmic design describes why it is this…

    Thomas Nagel is one of the most notable scholars who has offered support for some of the concepts of intelligent design. Despite being an atheist, and dismissing the concept of an all-powerful God as the driving force behind intelligent design, Nagel argues that evolutionary theory fails to account for human cognition, consciousness and…

    ANS: Court decisions have disallowed the teaching of “Intelligent Design” in high school biology classes, because it is believed to be a form of creationism, a religious theory that can’t be backed up by evidence and proofs. The theory of Intelligent Design states that humans are too complicated to have evolved from random chemical and physical forces.…

    A new idea is never accepted easily; when an idea first comes into existence many questions are raised before the notion convinces anyone. Along with a new theory comes many new controversies and critiques which go against the bright new idea. An example of a brilliant idea which still has many controversies surrounding it is the notion of evolutionary psychology. As this field progresses into the world, many brilliant scientists from around the world reason why they think it’s false. Both supporters and adversaries not only helped shed light for each other, but also helped shed light in helping me decide whether I wanted to stand behind this new field, or be among the many that decline it.…

    Are Humans Still Evolving?

    Abstract evolution has occurred in humans for millions of years; however, in a modern society many scientists and evolutionists are now debating whether or not it is still occurring, and if it follows the same rules. With all of the new technology humans have created, some experts believe that humans have essentially conquered nature, and no further evolutionary changes will occur. Still, others hold opposing views; some experts believe that evolution is still occurring, but modern societal advancements have changed the rules. These experts say that the changes in evolution are a result of recent medical advancements that allow doctors to perpetuate genes that would not have lasted years ago. Additionally, others maintain that evolution is not only still occurring, but it has in fact sped up recently. These experts maintain that a rapidly changing society, as well as a rapidly increasing population is causing the human genome to play catch up.…
