Neil Degrasse Tyson argues that the universe could not have been designed by an intelligent design because of the abundance of stupid designs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4238NN8HMgQ https://youtu.be/J4I1ion0q5g One of the first things that he says is that if you put life almost anywhere within the volume of this universe, it would die instantly. Okay and of course that's true. If you put us in outer space we would suffocate. If you put us in the middle of the sun we’d burn to death. If you put us in the middle of the earth we'd be crushed and burned to death. Of course that's true but it's not a very compelling argument. He wants to say that because most of the volume of the universe is not conducive to life, therefore you can't…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7bZBswfqH8 In this next clip we’re going to show the problem only gets worse. Because scientists have discovered something else. And this was amazing when I watched this. They discovered the body plan for an animal does not reside in DNA. So where is the information of each animal body plan stored, and where did that information come from? Folks, I want you to watch this clip. Narrator: But the inability of random mutations to generate new genes and proteins is only part of the problem; for the origin of Cambrian body plans demanded more than new genetic information. Richard Sternberg: A lot of the information for specifying an Anomalocaris, a trilobite, what have you, does not reside at the DNA level. Jonathan Wells: The body plan, as far as…

Body parts like tonsils and the appendix were once considered unnecessary organs left over from evolution. But scientists have discovered that these “unnecessary” organs are actually very useful. https://youtu.be/2HtSTzIIVVg Number one: vestigial organs. In 1865 a German anatomist named Robert Weidersheim said that he discovered 185 different useless or virtually useless organs in the body. And he said this was evidence of evolution. In fact the argument goes that if humans evolved then they would have had at one time organs that an animal would have used in a certain way but would no longer be used in that way in the human body. And those organs would begin to atrophy and start to be useless. The problem with this vestigial organ idea is that there are two reasons it…

The eye is not wired backwards and today I'm going to show you how new scientific research has uncovered powerful evidence of designing intelligence behind the evolution of the vertebrate eye.  The eye has a special place in the history of discussions of whether our bodies evolved through the guidance of a designer or evolved through random processes. William Paley advanced what has come to be known as the watchmaker argument in which he compared the intricacy detail and sophistication of a watch to the human eye. “Let's say you're walking around and you find a watch on the ground. As you examine it you marvel at the intricately complex interweaving of its parts, a means to an end. Surely you wouldn't think this…
