Evolution Intelligent Design

Evolution—or the broader topic of origins—has enormous relevance to how we understand the Christian faith and how we interpret Scripture. Four Views on Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent Design presents the current "state of the conversation" about origins among evangelicals representing four key positions.

Naming Darwin's Black Box to the National Review's list of the 100 most important nonfiction works of the 20th century, George Gilder wrote that it "overthrows Darwin at the end of the 20th century in the same way that quantum theory overthrew Newton at the beginning". Discussing the book in the New Yorker in May 2005, H. Allen Orr said of Behe, "He is the most prominent of the small circle of scientists working on intelligent design, and his arguments are by far the best known."

At a shadowy company (Karoli Robotics Corporation) owned by a Sillicon Valley billionaire, a scientist named Jim creates an AI that can fool the Turing test at the same time as his colleague, Daniel, successfully synthesizes DNA in a test tube. Daniel's attempts to reanimate dead chimps using his discovery have been unsuccessful, but when his friend Laura Bocelli is killed by being trapped inside a lab freezer, Daniel is presented with the perfect specimen. However, Laura is irreparably brain dead.

This compelling and incisive book exposes the true nature of Intelligent Design as a modern-day cult masquerading as science. Tracing its roots from creationism to the courtroom drama of the Kitzmiller v. Dover case, the author unpacks the religious underpinnings, pseudoscientific claims, and political strategies that fuel the ID movement. With a critical eye, the author examines the Discovery Institute’s Wedge Strategy, the misuse of media to misinform the public, and the anthropocentric bias of ID proponents. The book also highlights the global spread of ID and the tireless efforts of ...

From dodging inconvenient fossils to exploiting social media with viral memes, this AI-generated spoof Intelligent design advocate's handbook dissects the rhetorical tricks, logical fallacies, and outright misrepresentations used by ID advocates to challenge evolution and sow doubt about science. It is based on a detailed analysis of ID websites, books and social media platforms over several decades of ID advocacy. Packed with real-world examples, clever commentary, and a healthy dose of humor, this parody is a must-read for skeptics, science enthusiasts, and anyone curious about the ...

Why do men's testicles hang outside the body? Why does our appendix sometimes explode and kill us? And who does the Designer like better, anyway--us or squid? These and other questions are addressed in The Not-So-Intelligent Designer: Why Evolution Explains the Human Body and Intelligent Design Does Not. Dr. Abby Hafer argues that the human body has many faulty design features that would never have been the choice of an intelligent creator.

"A Thesis on New Empirical Evidence for Intelligent Design: AI and Its Potential to Evolve – A Resource that Evolution and Intelligent Design Could Both Be Theories Simultaneously" In this groundbreaking thesis, the author explores a provocative new analogy that challenges traditional thinking about Intelligent Design and Evolution Theory. By examining the emerging capabilities of Artificial Intelligence (AI), this work proposes that the processes of intelligent design and evolution can coexist in a single system. AI, created by human designers but capable of evolving over time, presents ...

Ten amazing things concerning this book: The intelligent designer created reading glasses so that all humans could read the kindle version of this audiobook. Humans need haircuts. Cat hair stops growing at exactly the right length. Humans have butt crack hair because the intelligent designer decided that your bottom would be too hygienic and too easy to clean without it. Humans sometimes choke to death. Dolphins don't. They have a separate breathing tube.

A teen student’s guide for gleaning key points from Johnson’s Defeating Darwinism. Each chapter of Johnson’s book is reviewed with the key concepts and vocabulary, and thought provoking questions presented so that a teen student can apply what Johnson teaches in his/her own life.

The book explains why there is no conflict whatsoever between the creation passages of the Bible and evidence that life developed over a span of more than five hundred million years

The Greatest Show on Earth is a stunning counterattack on advocates of "Intelligent Design," explaining the evidence for evolution while exposing the absurdities of the creationist "argument". Dawkins sifts through rich layers of scientific evidence: from living examples of natural selection to clues in the fossil record; from natural clocks that mark the vast epochs wherein evolution ran its course to the intricacies of developing embryos; from plate tectonics to molecular genetics.

Named one of the top books of 2009 by the Times Literary Supplement (London), this controversial and compelling audiobook from Dr. Stephen C. Meyer presents a convincing new case for intelligent design (ID) based on revolutionary discoveries in science and DNA. Along the way Meyer argues that Charles Darwin's theory of evolution as expounded in The Origin of Species did not, in fact, refute ID.

The latest and most bitterly contested battle in the culture war is the controversy over Darwin and intelligent design. But much of what you've heard about it is wrong. Jonathan Wells, a battle-hardened veteran with doctorates in biology and theology, sets the record straight.

When Charles Darwin finished The Origin of Species, he thought that he had explained every clue but one. Though his theory could explain many facts, Darwin knew that there was a significant event in the history of life that his theory did not explain. During this event, the "Cambrian explosion", many animals suddenly appeared in the fossil record without apparent ancestors in earlier layers of rock. In Darwin's Doubt, Stephen C. Meyer tells the story of the mystery surrounding this explosion of animal life.

Columnist and publisher Michael Shermer, once an evangelical Christian and a creationist, argues that Intelligent Design proponents invoke a combination of ad science, political antipathy, and flawed theology in their new brand of creationism. He refutes their pseudoscientific arguments and then demonstrates why conservatives and people of faith can and should embrace evolution. Why Darwin Matters is an incisive examination of what is at stake in the debate over evolution.

Looked at objectively, beneath the superficial appearance of design, the human body, with its inefficiencies, vulnerabilities, and vestigial features, is best explained through the lens of evolution. Far from reflecting intelligent design, our anatomy and physiology reveal a history of incremental changes shaped by natural selection and constrained by pre-existing structures. These imperfections underscore the reality of evolution as a tinkering process, producing functional but far-from-perfect outcomes. In this light, the human body stands as a powerful testament to our evolutionary ...

Evolutionary arms races are the basis for co-evolutionary cooperation and ecosystems and are fundamental to biology and biodiversity, yet they cannot logically be described as intelligently designed because competing against yourself in an arms race is not an act of intelligence nor of design. Arms races account for the needless complexity and prolific waste seen in nature when you look beneath the superficial resemblamce of design and are responsible for the major advances in evolution, from the evolution of eukaryote cells, the evolution of multicellularity, the evolution of coral reefs, ...

ID is not a problem for science; rather science is a problem for ID. This book shows why. It exposes the fallacy of Intelligent Design by showing that, when examined in detail, biological systems are anything but intelligently designed. They show no signs of a plan and are quite ludicrously complex for whatever can be described as a purpose. The Intelligent Design movement relies on almost total ignorance of biological science and seemingly limitless credulity in its target marks. Its only real appeal appears to be to those who find science too difficult or too much trouble to learn yet ...

In a tour de force of science and logic, the best-selling author of Darwin's Black Box combines genetics, laboratory results, and mathematics to prove, once and for all, that the universe and life on Earth are designed.
