Well I finally start the blog....
Yesterdays feature on the Today program did it.
David Attenborough has quite a bit of homework to do if he is going to be one of the Darwinist defenders against ID in the UK.
I thought that Stephen Meyer did very well in the limited time he had.
The real question it seems to me is whether intelligent design is part of science or not. It is clear that we know that there are real objects in the real world that have as an essential part of their existence.... intelligent design.
Human beings are agents of intelligent design....some of them are intelligent .....and some of them design things that other people can investigate.... it is clearly part of science to detect and examine the activity of human beings past and present.
The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence widens the field for identifying intelligent design and was clearly thought to be a scientific project by many scientists. Many evolutionary biologists believe strongly in the possibility of extra-terrestrial life.
Must intelligent design be written out of science by a new law.... the David Attenborough first law of doing and thinking Science ...???
I am not sure he is going to get very far with that.... it just rules out of science far too much. What is he going to do with those who insist on breaking the rules?
There is such a clear analogy between what we find in living organisms and what we ourselves have designed that we cannot help but apply the language of design to what we see.... there is no other way to describe it!
