Explore undirected mutations and natural selection in Darwinian evolution. Compare natural causes with intelligent design while tracing humanity from a single cell to complex beings.
Depict a best case mutation scenario through a chaotic sequence of photos, a field trip, dinner, and a crash, highlighting a big change and new reflexes.
Examine whether undirected mutations and natural selection can drive evolution from single cells to humans, challenging the wagon-to-space shuttle analogy with the DNA code and genetic entropy.
Show how unequivocally beneficial mutations carry downsides, illustrated by sickle cell and malaria resistance, and differentiate microevolution from macroevolution, including mutation rate and implications for human evolution.
Examine how natural selection only removes clearly detrimental mutations within a gray no-selection zone, while accumulating random mutations slowly degrade the genome and challenge evolution.
Examine the Bible's fitness curve through mutation accumulation, compare it with evolutionary claims, and present biblical explanations of degeneration, sin, and salvation through Jesus Christ.
Explore the definition of evolution as common descent from a single ancestor, showing that undirected mutation rarely yields upward evolution and natural selection drives microevolution and adaptation.
Explore natural selection as described by Darwin, illustrated by Darwin's finches on dry and wet islands, and contrast it with intelligent design and the debate over macroevolution and missing links.
Explore the puzzle of life’s origin and how Darwin’s theory explains or fails to explain biogenesis, contrasting chemical evolution with intelligent design and the DNA as the assembly instructions.
Explores abiogenesis and intelligently designed life by presenting biogenesis from preexisting life and the improbability of assembling functional proteins by chance, with odds like 1 in 10^164.
Investigate intelligent design as the study of patterns in nature best explained by intelligence, and assess its testable, repeatable, observable, and falsifiable status.
Identify criteria to distinguish natural from intelligent causation using examples like clouds, rocks, and artifacts, and explore how such judgments relate to design arguments.
Identify intelligent design by two criteria: an unlikely natural object or event and a recognizable pattern, signaling intelligent causation over natural causation.
Evaluate whether intelligent design is science by testing its testability, observability, repeatability, and falsifiability, and distinguish it from creationism amid legal debates about science and supernatural explanations.
Argues that DNA is information crafted by intelligent design, and since information cannot arise from nature alone, this evidence supports God as a scientific fact.
This 19 lecture course continues the examination of the evidence for whether we were created or evolved. In this course we lay out the argument for Intelligent Design and Creation and attempt to answer some very important questions. Do genetics disprove evolution or support it? Can information come from non-information? If you are wondering whether Intelligent Design can be supported by science, we invite you to come examine the evidence for yourself. No matter what your point of view is we invite you to check out this class
