    For the first time, you can have living room access to over seven hours of teaching by intelligent design pioneer Stephen Meyer in a brand-new online course. A favorite of students young and old(er), Meyer will delight both as he explores the scientific evidence for intelligent design (ID) found in physics, cosmology, biology and the chemical origin of life.
    Join Stephen as he investigates the scientific evidence for intelligent design in the origin of life, the development of biological complexity, and physics and cosmology. In 42 short video lectures, Meyer explores the scientific basis for the theory of intelligent design-the idea that key features of life and the universe are best explained as the product of an intelligent cause rather than an unguided process. In this course, Meyer will guide you through the major concepts and information presented in his path breaking books Signature in the Cell and Darwin’s Doubt, as well as previewing some of the material about physics and cosmology in his book The Return of the God Hypothesis. Each video lecture is accompanied by a short quiz, and a special digital certificate of completion is offered for those who finish the course.

    We are surrounded by evidence for intelligent design, but you have to actually have a look for it to see it, which many people refuse to honestly and seriously do.

    This man is a hero, and has been one for years: the future will revindicate him. The whole world has been shifting in this direction for years and as the truth is progressively revealed, so intelligent design will appear as the only scientifically possible response. There are many others of his calibre working everday towards this goal.

And yes, I have read signature in the cell when it came out and loved it for one specific reason, the link between 'mind and specified information'. I never really was able to think otherwise since then. 😇

    It's amazing to watch the intricate machinery of the RNA and DNA molecule, and the molecular motors of the most primitive bacteria, and to claim they developed FIRST in the chain of life, and literally billions of years ago. It's not just intelligent design, it's way way more intelligent design,. We can't build those micro machines now.

      1) There's no such thing as darwinism, that is a word made up by those of weak faith.
      2) The theory of evolution was devised 100s of years before Darwin was born. Those of science ignorance attribute it to Darwin.
      3) evolution is not a belief, it is a conclusion based off of the evidence unlike religion which has ZERO evidence.

  • @NilsFredrikGjerull
    @NilsFredrikGjerull Před 4 lety +2

    The fact that the opponents to intelligent design resort to rage and academic bulling tactics I take as evidence against the theory they try to protect. If the case for the theory is so good why not just state it clearly, and be honest about the reach and possible limitations of the theory? The way that intelligent design is presented in this channel I find understandable and compelling. This is unlike the impression I get from proponents of neo-darwinian evolution. There I am asked to almost take it by faith in the authority of the experts. They have knowledge not accessible to simpletons like me, and like to throw around academic jargon to strengthen that impression. Some tries to make complex subject comprehensible, others tries to make simple subjects sound incomprehensible for the people outside the select group.

    At about 5:15 in the video, Dr. Meyer asks 'Why so much controversy?' Simply put, because Revelation 12:9b ('misleading') & 1 John 5:19 are right on! Nothing Biblical is popular today, especially sexual constraints.

    When we walk with the Lord
    in the light of his word,
    what a glory he sheds on our way!
    While we do his good will,
    he abides with us still,
    and with all who will trust and obey.
    Trust and obey, for there's no other way
    to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.
    2. Not a burden we bear,
    not a sorrow we share,
    but our toil he doth richly repay;
    not a grief or a loss,
    not a frown or a cross,
    but is blest if we trust and obey.
    3 .But we never can prove
    the delights of his love
    until all on the altar we lay;
    for the favor he shows,
    for the joy he bestows,
    are for them who will trust and obey.
    4. Then in fellowship sweet
    we will sit at his feet,
    or we'll walk by his side in the way;
    what he says we will do,
    where he sends we will go;
    never fear, only trust and obey.

    A statistical impossibility is defined as _“a probability that is so low as to not be worthy of mentioning. Sometimes it is quoted as 1/10^50 although the cutoff is inherently arbitrary. Although not truly impossible the probability is low enough so as to not bear mention in a Rational, Reasonable argument."_ (*The probability of finding one particular atom out of all of the atoms in the universe has been estimated to be 1/10^80.) The probability of a functional 150 amino acid protein chain forming by chance is 1/10^164. It has been calculated that the probability of DNA forming by chance is 1/10^119,000. The probability of random chance protein-protein linkages in a cell is 1/10^79,000,000,000. Based on just these three cellular components, it would be far more *Rational and Reasonable* to conclude that the cell was not formed by undirected random natural processes. Note: Abiogenesis Hypothesis posits that undirected random natural processes, i.e. random chance formation, of molecules led to living organisms. Natural selection has no effect on individual atoms and molecules on the micro scale in a prebiotic environment. (*For reference, peptides/proteins can vary in size from 3 amino acid chains to 34,000 amino acid chains. Some scientists consider 300-400 amino acid protein chains to be the average size. There are 42,000,000 protein molecules in just one (1) simple cell, each protein requiring precise assembly. There are approx. 30,000,000,000,000 cells in the human body.)
    A "Miracle" is considered to be an event with a probability of occurrence of 1/10^6. Abiogenesis, RNA World Hypothesis, and Multiverse would all far, far, far exceed any "Miracle". Yet, these extremely irrational and unreasonable hypotheses are what many of the world’s top scientists _‘must’_ believe in and promote because of a prior commitment to a strictly arbitrary, subjective, materialistic ideology / worldview. Every idea, number, concept, thought, theory, mathematical equation, abstraction, qualia, etc. existing within and expressed by anyone is "Immaterial" or "Non-material".
    The very idea or concept of "Materialism" is an immaterial entity and by it's own definition does not exist. Modern science seems to be stuck in archaic subjective ideologies that have inadequately attempted to define the "nature of reality" or the "reality of nature" for millenia. A Paradigm Shift in ‘Science’ is needed for humanity to advance. A major part of this Science Paradigm Shift would be the formal acknowledgment by the scientific community of the existence of "Immaterial" or "Non-material" entities as verified and confirmed by discoveries in Quantum Physics.

    Please work on the sound. It is dull and bassy. Thank you for this lecture. The tide is thankfully turning towards intelligent design. We were oppressed by unlogical and unsientific evolutionistic ideas long enough. I read "Herkunft und Zukunft des Menschen" (~Origin and Future of Mankind) from A. E. Wilder-Smith in the 1990th and since then knew that Intelligent Design is more reasonable than Evolution.
