W7 - B2 - CHAPTER 3
ARGUMENT FOR DESIGN - MODERN VERSIONS - PROBLEM OF EVIL
Timothy Chappell
3.3 SECOND VERSION :
MEYER'S ARGUMENT
CAN ANY AFD CAN BE
MADE TO WORK?
MAY SCIENTISTS
AND PHILOSOPHERS
DOUBT
EVOLUTIONARY THEORY
EXPLAINSEMERGENCE OF
BIOLOGICAL COMPLEXITY, p.92
BUT E.T. ONLY EXPLAIN 1 MYSTERY =
DESIGN IN CREATURES LIKE US
BUT EVOLUTION PRESUPPOSE
A PRIOR STATE, NOT YET EXPLAINED
BY E.T. ONLY PRESUPPOSED, p.92
MAY FIND EVIDENCE OF DESIGN
IN THIS PRIOR STATE, p.92
SOME SCIENTISTS THINK
THERE IS SUCH EVIDENCE, p.92
STEPHEN MEYER & THE
AFD FROM
BIOLOGICAL
INFORMATION
BIOLOGICAL INFORMATION =
COMPLEX CODING
SUCH AS DNA & RNA
SEEM TO BE NOT PRODUCTS
OF EVOLUTION, BUT
PRECONDITION, p.94
SO HOW DID
IT APPEAR?
CHANCE IS IMPROBABLE, p.95
OTHER POSS. EXPLANATION
=
SELF-ORGANISING SYSTEM
(eg shaking cornflakes, p.97)
MANY EXAMPLES
IN NATURE
PEEBLE BEACH
BUS-CLUSTER
IS THAT DIFFERENT FROM CHANCE?
COULD BIOLOGICAL INFO
EMERGE FROM SELF-ORGANISAT°?
STEPHEN MEYER = NO
SELF-ORGA = GOOD
FOR SOME COMPLEXITY
CAN'T BE FOR REALLY COMPLEX ONES
(
INFORMATION-INTENSIVE SYSTEMS
), p.96
HIS ARGUMENT, p.99
PREMISE 1
DNA CONSTITUTES INFORMATION-
INTENSIVE SYSTEM
PREMISE 2
I.I.S COME FROM INTELLIGENT SOURCE ALWAYS
CONCLUSION
DNA etc MUST COME FROM INTELLIGENT SOURCE,
NAMELY A DESIGNER
