Stephen Meyer: Darwin’s Doubt

[@Jeremiah6071]

Dr. Meyer is in a league of his own. I haven't read his latest book, but Signature in the Cell was amazing. I was an atheist who believed in Darwinian Evolution until I went to college and took a lot off various biology classes. Microbiology was the clincher. I don't see how anyone who truly understands biology at that level can not see the obvious design. I don't know if my professors would be happy or appalled that they lead me away from blindly believing in something I was ignorant of to accepting intelligent design and eventually Jesus.

[@johannjohann6523]

Kinesin Proteins! It is nice to see a person with the wisdom and common sense that "Science" presents as the "Complexity" of Life. God and science are NOT mutually exclusive. I'm you my brother. Not to mention the fact, that under the skin "Man and Woman" have more in common with a cat than an ape. Sharing nearly 100% of the cats muscles, and only 40% of muscles with "Apes". Doctors know this. Yet the "The Theory of Lies" continues. Like the LIE that Petroleum is made from "Fossils"? Really? Then why is it not white if made from bones? A little common sense can go a Long Way. Who has more to gain? God or Man with stating Lies? (And the Devil has nothing to do with it.) Peace . ( Or that Columbus "Discovered" America?)

I love those who vehemently oppose Meyer, Tour and Behe and the cadre of SERIOUS scientists who KNOW that scientific materialism has major holes in its bucket that cannot be plugged. A serious logical premise that "what is most probable as we look at the facts?". Intelligent design is our best conclusion. As we go along, if proof of Macro Evolution appears, I will dismantle my prejudice at this point towards a supreme intelligence that created it all. That really is the corner that atheists and Darwinian militants hate to be painted into......after they admit multiverses, eternal matter cannot answer the question "where did all the information come from that began it?".

[@jojoanimations3]

I'm not even Christian, but I have a lot of respect and the original teaching(unedited versions)/correct interpretations(of current edited texts) are very deep with wisdom, truth, and I believe, most probably correct historical account(s). I have watched this countless times and other videos and after the current book I'm reading, will read Darwin's doubt and buy his new book when it comes out in 2020. It sounds legit and from what I see, when he goes toe to toe with atheists, they never are able to dismantle his arguments. Until I check the sources given in Darwin's Doubt, these debates, his talks, his support from other scientists give me great confidence in what he's saying. I hope he's right and if he is, I hope he really gains momentum helps change science.

What is never explained where the materials, the force, the plan of action, the intelligent actors and the goal came from. Let me guess : from the multiverses and quantum fluctuations, right ?

So, this pass and just now many evolutionists are questioning the foundations of evolution wish is downhill now days.

[@terrycooper4149]

Great presentation. The one thing I've always wondered is how any life form can have a self-preservation instinct. Today's most educated scientists/engineers haven't got a clue how to produce a a self-preservation software subroutine that is common with most forms of life.

[@pichytechno6782]

This self-preservation presents in itself another problem for evolution, if life has a self-preservation instinct, how is it possible that one life can evolve into another if this mechanism limits the destruction of the entire form of life?

[@johnlefkus5685]

I have an analogy that I believe illustrates Dr. Meyer’s point a little better than his computer slide and more common to laymen. We want to build a new car. Do we start by working out the details of the types of bolts and metal we use, or do we create a concept? We must first determine what we are trying to achieve, before we worry about what the upholstery or engine will be. Do you want a SUV or a sports car? A bolt, is just like one protein in an animal. It may be used many times, but it is highly complex. The threads, how it engages the metal, how it handles vibration and how it handles corrosion are just some of the properties it needs to be successful. Who believes if you develop a new bolt, that you are on your way to a new vehicle type? Who would drive a car if you found out the bolts were designed randomly? Do you believe by rearranging just a few bolts randomly that a compact car becomes a truck? The design comes first, then the details. Why we can debate who the designer is, I don’t believe can argue the logic.

Dr. Meyer is a treasure and so underated in his field. He has strengthened my faith so much by proving how logically consistent it is to believe in God.

Here is why the bike-lock analogy isn’t the best analogy and actually gives favors to the evolutionary side of the argument. In that scenario, the thief won’t re-use previously used incorrect combinations because he has an intelligent mind. Nature doesn’t work that way. You would also have to factor in the likelihood that a previously used combination would re-emerge (unlikely, but just as unlikely that the correct combination would be found as well) with no limit as to how many times it can re-emerge. Imagine that after ever new try, the thief’s memory was wiped and he didn’t remember what combination he previously used.

26:54 Is it actually fair to compare the chemical “language” of DNA to “discovering hieroglyphics in a cave in Antarctica”? Seems this is _non sequitur_ since the use of alphabetic characters is a necessary linguistic mediation meant to relate the _real_ chemical nature of DNA and hieroglyphs are semiotic structures created by humans to depict/record events culturally. Essentially, is the “language” of DNA not something derived from the symbols of human culture? Isn’t DNA truly something we can only grasp by representing it in our alphabetic/mathematical symbolic universe of meaning? That we can decode the building blocks of life is totally amazing-that DNA is a “word” ultimately just seems common sense in-that we must transpose it’s opaque nominalistic reality into a phenomenologically coherent picture..

[@anthonypolonkay2681]

It wouldnt matter if you represented them with letters, numbers, shapes, or colors. We only do this so we can differentiate between them. The real issue is that those "letters" have to be arranged in a specific order otherwise you dont get genetic code, you get nonsense. That's why the language analogy works. If I take the letters A,H,W,T and arrange them randomly I get nonsense like that above. But if I arrange them W,H,A,T ,or T,H,A,W then I get the words "what" and "thaw" which isnt nonsense but actually carry definitional meaning. DNA molecules act in a scarily similar fashion.
