What About Intelligent Design? |
|
|
The universe is made up of Space, Matter, Energy, and Information. Scientist often overlook information a key element of life and originates from intelligence. DNA: The six-feet of DNA coiled inside every one of our body's one hundred trillion cells contains a four-letter chemical alphabet that spells out precise assembly instructions for all the proteins from which our bodies are made. Cambridge-educated Stephen Meyer demonstrated that no hypothesis has come close to explaining how information got into biological matter by naturalistic means. On the contrary, he said that whenever we find a sequential arrangement that's complex and corresponds to an independent pattern or function, this kind of information is always the product of intelligence. "Books, computer codes, and DNA all have these two properties, he said. "We know books and computer codes are designed by intelligence, and the presence of this type of information in DNA also implies an intelligent source." Lee Strobel, The Case for a Creator
Irreducible Complexity: "My conclusion can be summed up in a single word: design. I say that based on science. I believe that irreducibly complex systems are strong evidence of a purposeful, intentional design by an intelligent agent." Biochemist Michael Behe Ph.D. Lehigh University. Argument from Cosmology: Whatever begins to exist has a cause. The universe began to exist. Therefore the universe has a cause. Evidence from Physics: The universe is finely tuned on a razor's edge. Small changes in gravity, energy, the number of protons and electrons, etc. can result in instability causing the universe as we know it today to fall apart. Evidence from Biochemistry: Biological life is irreducibly complex. Elimination of any of thousands of critical systems such as the immune system, blood clotting system, etc, prevent the existence of life. Examples Evidence from Consciousness - "Many scientists are concluding that the laws of chemistry and physics cannot explain our experience of consciousness. Professor J.P. Moreland defined consciousness as our introspection, sensations, thoughts, emotions, desires, beliefs, and free choices that make us alive and aware. The soul contains our consciousness and animates our body." -- Lee Strobel, The Case for a Creator
