Ken Miller on Intelligent Design

Proper understanding of science. evolution is a theory, not a fact had warning stickers on text books that taught evolution in school.

there are several states that are trying to give time alotted in public school to teach intelligent design equally as evolution.

kansas had hearing, that invited many scientists to attend. They decided they would introduce criticisms in teaching evolution. they re-wrote the definition of science! science is the human activity of seeking natural explanations in the world around us. == now, science is the method of systematic continuing investigations, and finding more adequate explenations. we want more adequate explanations.

naturalism limits possible solutions, we want to open science up to non-naturalistic explanations.

ID argues fossil records is a problem for evolution. Sceince says there are so many forms of species and transitional forms its hard to pinpoint one and show it leads to x.

argument against evolution -- fossil records don't have the intermediate records to prove it.

there are 5 intermediate fossils found in the last 2 decades, in idia/pakistan is where the fossils are found

now have we solved the problem? no .. sceince is very self critical. Then middle ear would have completely changed. the land mammal is great at hearing on land, but can't hear under water.

The fossil records prove that adaptation, and becomes powerful for evolution.

Second
the genetic code for chimps were published in the last few years, they argue we evolved from the apes. There are similarities between us and apes ..

but we have 2 fewer chromosomes than the great apes.

Apes have 1 more pair of chromosomes than we do. If a whole chromoome was lost, that would be leathal! so if apes share common ancestor, they either have 46 or 48 chromosomes. One pair must have gotten fused, and non - of our chromosomes are fused, and if we don't find that, evolution is wrong we haven't found a link.

but, our chromosome # 2 was fused and is unique with our lineage.

Dr beke said the designer must be supernatural, and requires the horizons to broaden.. the project of ID is to expand science to include the supernatural.

sceince sucks at getting message to public. How many were known about the fusion of chromosome # 2 a 2 years ago??
