Stephen Meyer - Evolution & Intelligent Design
Stephen Meyer speaks about the fact that world-class evolutionary biologists THEMSELVES are now finally acknowledging that the standard 'textbook evolutionary theory' (that had been indoctrinated into the general public through schools, 'scientific' documentaries, etc, etc) simply CAN NOT account for the various forms of life, after all. The central foundation of Darwinian evolution (natural selection acting upon variations / mutations) is finally being acknowledged by mainstream biologists, as lacking the creative ability that is necessary to account for the various forms of life. It is capable of causing diversity (eg. antibiotic resistance, variation within already existing species, etc), but not capable of creating biological novelty (eg. eyes, hearts, feet, differing body plans, etc, etc, etc).
Stephen Meyer also speaks about the (currently) incomprehensibly sophisticated computer program-like coding systems recently discovered in the operations of the cell, that powerfully point TOWARD life having been designed, and AWAY from the belief that life is the result of an unguided process. He finishes off by highlighting recent research projects being undertaken by scientists taking a 'design approach' to biology.
If anyone reading this is only familiar with the popular media's portrayal of Intelligent Design, I suggest you make sure to equally examine BOTH sides of an argument before reaching a conclusion. To the best of my knowledge, Thomas Woodward has researched and documented the ongoing debate over Intelligent Design and the extreme rhetorical tactics that are often employed, more than anyone on the planet! So I would suggest reading his award winning book: Doubts About Darwin, and his later book: Darwin Strikes Back, to learn more about this subject. If reading books isn't your thing, you can learn lots about the ongoing debate over Intelligent Design in the 1 hour 2016 documentary: Revolutionary - Michael Behe & The Mystery Of Molecular Machines. It is currently available to watch online for free. If you are only willing to spend several minutes of your life learning about this subject, then the best thing I would highly recommend you do is read this excellent free article on the TOP TEN favorite objections that are continually raised up in the popular media, against Intelligent Design.
