Mathematical Challenges to Darwin

While there is much I would disagree with in this discussion, the conversation between the three gentlemen here (David Berlinski, David Gelernter, and Stephen Meyer) is certainly fascinating. Peter Robinson poses the questions.

My takeaway – Evolution is a theory in crisis. Actually, it is stone cold dead in the water.

“How cleanly and quickly can the (scientific) field get over Darwin, and move on? This is one of the most important questions facing science in the twenty-first century.” – David Galernter, Claremont Review of Books

A Case for Intelligent Design

Romans 1: 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. 19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. 21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools…

The Intelligent Design Movement has its limitations in that it does not proport to stand on the testimony of Scripture but through logic, reason and the gathering of factual data, seeks to make the case for the existence of design in the Universe. It is very keen to state that it has no religious orientation whatsoever, and herein lies its weakness. However, having said that, for those of us who embrace Scripture, we certainly would agree that the data around us provides a compelling case for the God who made heaven and earth.

Justin Taylor writes, “In November 2011 Dr. Stephen Meyer gave the inaugural lecture for The Centre for Intelligent Design (c4id) before a distinguished group of British political, cultural, and intellectual leaders in London. The theme was on his book, Signature in the Cell: DNA and the Evidence for Intelligent Design (HarperOne, 2009). He explains the problem of the origin of life and shows how the existence of biological information gives scientific evidence for intelligent design (ID). The last 10 minutes or so contains some Q & A.”
