1- DESIGN
FOR THE WORLD ITSELF
TO START
(FINE-TUNING) IN
COMPLEXITY OF PHYSICAL PROCESS
GUESTS
PETER CAVE
atheist
RUSSELL COWBURN
Christian
RICHARD DAWKINS
atheist
1- IRREDUCTIBLE
COMPLEXITY,
Michael Behe
eg THE EYE = NEEDS TO BE
FINISHED OR USELESS
= cannot be by chance
BUT ACTUALLY EVEN 1/2 EYE
STILL USEFUL (Russell Cowburn)
JUST BCAUSE NO
EXPLANATION FOR NOW,
DOESNT MEAN WE NEED POOR EXPLANATION
Peter Cave
DOESN(T COME BY CHANCE,
COMES GRADUALLY =
EVOLUTION PROCESS
(Richard Dawkins)
2- NECESSARY PRECONDITION
TO EVOLUTIONARY PROCESS
Stephen Meyer
DNA & RNA = VERY COMPLEX
MOLECULES - UNLIKELY YO
HEPPEN BY CHANCE
YES ITS UNLIKELY,
BUT PROBABILITIES ARE
DIFFICULT (Russell Cowburn)
EVOLUTIONARY THEORY
EXPLAINS ALL ABT COMPLEXITY =
ITS JUST A GRADUAL PROCESS
(Richard Dawkins)
3- FINE-TUNING
ARGUMENT
GOLDILOCKS PRINCIPLE =
COSMOLOGICAL CONSTANTS
NEED BE JUST RIGHT FOR
UNIVERSE TO EMERGE
COSMOLOGICAL
CONSTANTS
= NUMBERS WE
CAN'T CALCULATE
(the entire universe
depends on them)
JUST BECAUSE ITS UNLIKELY
DOESNT MEAN IMPOSSIBLE
(Peter Cave)
UNIVERSE AS COMPLEX
ONLY APPEARS IN THIS SPECIFIC WAY
SO ITS SURPRISING (Russell Cowburn)
HOW TO BE SURE THERE
ISNT A LOT OF UNIVERSES
THAT COULD ONLY COME
IN 1-2 WAYS?
(Peter Cave)
MOST UNIVERSES LIKE
THIS WOULDNT BE
COMPLEX (Russell Cowburn)
WHY WOULD THERE BE
ONLY 1 DESIGNER?
(Peter Cave)
YES WE CANNOT GIVE
TOO MUCH INTERPRETATION,
BUT WE CAN BE SURPRISED
(Russell Cowburn)
