A little while ago I got a message to analyze this blog about Intelligent Design Facts at intelligentdesignfacts.com, and as I have forever had a driving interest in the intelligent design confronting evolution confrontation, I found it a strict scientific and academic approach to defending the bases of intelligent design without falling back on to the fundamentalist perspective of individuals who are exclusively motivated by their holy books.
The site is a summary to the justifications for intelligent design based completely on scientific papers written in a way that any adult with an 7th grade education can easily comprehend it all.
The theses within the intelligentdesignfacts.com website are very informative. If we discuss The Mathematical Impossibility Of Genetic Evolution we find it is a well-supported department, and The Great Darwinian Paradox interestingly does not delve into theology of any form. The conclusion of the website is that there is an intelligent creator of evolution but the site does not attempt to determine the identity of that determinator at all. The thesis stays strictly on a scientific foundation.
The overall number of articles on the site includes:
- Small Scale Evolution Can't Cause Large Scale Changes
- The Cambrian Explosion
- Defining The Forms Of Living Things
- The Cambrian Specified Complexity
- New Genes & Proteins
- The Mathematical Impossibility Of Genetic Evolution
- The Great Darwinian Paradox
- The Illusion Of Self-Organization
- Hurry Up & Wait Evolution
- Evolution Cannot Account For Origins
There is also a reference section which lists countless resources.
Most of the quotes are definitely appealing:
- Functioning genes and proteins are carefully arranged patterns: perfect bull’s eyes. A bit off of the target and it's no longer a gene or protein, just a blob of dead organic matter.
- Self-organizing evolution equates to random patterns of light showing images of the Grand Canyon, or the Sistine Chapel.
- The chances of evolution powering the Cambrian Explosion are one in trillions or more.
- Humans have been able to write only during the time it takes to sing "may old acquaintance be" out of the entire year.
- No theory of evolution has been acknowledged by scientists to account for the origin of genetic forms and specified complexity. Not one.
- The missing go-between life forms are not just missing from the geological record by mistake. They never existed!
- The Cambrian Explosion resulted in far too many millions of DNA code pairs that appeared far too fast to be consistent with Darwin's theories.
- Biological processes seem as if they cannot cause an amoeba to turn into a fish, a fish into an amphibian, and an amphibian into a mammal.
It's a fascinating website which is certainly worth examining. The intelligent design against evolution battlefield can always use a new clarion of scientific logic.
