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

    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.…

    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…

    Intelligent Design is a new and developing theory that states that the origin and complexities of life can be attributed only to the action of a supernatural intelligence. This theory claims that the origin of life cannot be ascribed to natural causes or mechanical mechanisms, such as those described by evolutionary science (Johnson, Spring 2006, p. 222). It does not reject evolution as a means…

    It can be argued that the universe is too complex for evolutionary theory to explain it with reference to intelligent design. This states that some organisms are way too complex to have been created through evolution. For example, if you take away a feature from the eye it will not be able to see thus it would not have evolved as all its features were needed for it to be able to be classed as an eye.…

    He uses this as a springboard to his central argument that runs through Darwin’s Black Box, that is Irreducible Complexity. Behe uses the analogy of the mouse trap, a simple tool consisting of 5 simple parts to form an effective mouse killing device. We may look at a mousetrap and see it’s simplicity in design, and certainly many people have spent a lot of time “trying to build a better mousetrap” but it is always either based on that design, or going in a completely new direction, sometimes simpler, sometimes more complex, to achieve the same outcome of catching a mouse. However, you cannot simply remove one of the parts and still have an effective mousetrap, in fact, it would cease to be an mouse trap, but either a block of wood, or a jumble of metal wires. All of which may or may not be useful for another task, but never again reform the job of a mouse trap, until recombined in its proper form. There is no way for any of the parts to be removed, and there is no way for any of the parts, alone from the whole, to be formed into a working…

    As the years have past, advancements in engineering and science have improved people’s lives dramatically. The result of this has placed an emphasis on the thought that science can never be wrong and that we all should blindly accept what the majority of the scientific community says. This includes the theory of evolution. Sadly, “Christians” are becoming more and more accepting of this belief. Theistic evolution is rapidly becoming a widely accepted idea in Christian circles. It is even being taught in many seminaries now, but I believe it should not be accepted by the born again Child of God because first it contains many of the same holes and inconsistencies as atheistic evolution, but lastly it requires someone to make severe compromises to Gods Word in order to believe it.…

    An argument that supports intelligent design is the argument of irreducible complexity. This argues that certain biological systems are too complex to have evolved from simpler predecessors. Natural selection and mutations by chance cannot have produced such complex creatures we have today. An example of an irreducibly complex structure that could not have…

    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.…
