1. Darwinian evolution MORE THAN JUST A THEORY?

2. DO YOU AGREE?

3. Because if true… it changes everything!

4. An evolutionary explanation for religion? Everything we do, everything bit of our behave could be explained evolutionarily

6. “An evidence-based scientific theory about life's origins" rather than "a religious-based idea" INTELLIGENT DESIGN

7. “A science consonant with Christian and theistic convictions"

8. Irreducible complexity Specified complexity propose Fine Tuning – ‘just right’ Biological features are too complex to be the result of natural processes, and proponents therefore conclude that these features are evidence of design. INTELLIGENT DESIGN

9. Darwin’s Black Box… The conceptual tool in which, for one reason or another, the internal workings of a device are taken for granted, so that its function may be discussed. “If it could be demonstrated that any complex organism existed which could not possibly have been formed by numerous and successive slight modifications my theory would absolutely break down.”

10. Michael Behe Irreducible Complexity “No one at all can give a detailed account of how the cilium or any complex biochemical process might have developed in a Darwinian fashion. But we are here. All these things got here somehow; if not by Darwinian fashion, then how?” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWVALTJd1Eg

11. “A single system which is composed of several interacting parts that contribute to the basic function, and where the removal of any one of the parts causes the system to effectively stop functioning”

15. Behe states… “Thus while I argue for design, the question of the identity of the designer is left open”

16. Specified = something that conforms to some kind of pattern Complex = Dembski means having a low probability of occurrence WILLIAM DEMBSKI SPECIFIED COMPLEXITY

17. Specified = something that conforms to some kind of pattern Complex = Dembski means having a low probability of occurrence H

19. Specified = something that conforms to some kind of pattern Complex = Dembski means having a low probability of occurrence SONNET 116 Let me not to the marriage of true minds Admit impediments. Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds, Or bends with the remover to remove: O, no! it is an ever-fixed mark, That looks on tempests and is never shaken; It is the star to every wandering bark, Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken. Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks Within his bending sickle's compass come; Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, But bears it out even to the edge of doom. If this be error and upon me proved, I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

20. William Dembski in summary… Specified = something that conforms to some kind of pattern Complex = Dembski means having a low probability of occurrence H = A single letter of the alphabet is specified but not complex Gepandajoiptuaspccmasokduaerbn (i.e. a long sequence of random letters) = Complex but not specified A Shakespearean sonnet is specified and complex.

21. Combination Lock… Specified = something that conforms to some kind of pattern Complex = Dembski means having a low probability of occurrence The more possible combinations of the lock the more complex the mechanism (the lock) and therefore the more improbable the mechanism (the lock) can be open by chance! A lock with 10 possible combinations is more likely to be opened by chance that a lock with 100,000 possible combinations

22. To conclude… When we observe the universe we see complex specified information. This could not have occurred by chance. This would be just too unlikely to happen!

23. What is the best explanation for this complexity?

24. One Cell - Human DNA 8 Billion letters, 8,000,000,000 500 million words, 500, 000, 000 8 thousand books, 8000

25. Fine-Tuning Argument “As we look out into the universe and identify the many accidents of physics and astronomy that have worked to our benefit it almost seems as if the universe must in some sense have known we were coming.” Freeman Dyson

26. Roger Penrose “if we combined all the laws that must be fine- tuned, we couldn’t even write down that number in full, since it would require more zeroes than the number of elementary particles in the universe”

27. “The cliché that ‘life is balanced on a knife-edge’ is a staggering understatement is this case: no knife in the universe could have an edge that fine” Paul Davies http://www.yout ube.com/watch? v=WE0Y1hpEA-4 http://www.yout ube.com/watch? v=lbiLmPJuU6Q

28. Antony Flew “What I think the DNA material has done is show that intelligence must have been involved in getting these extraordinarily diverse elements together. The enormous complexity by which the results were achieved looks to me like the work of intelligence”
