Very interesting discussion.
Is Darwinism mathematically impossible?

This was quite interesting though as always I find it difficult to grasp the arguments for/against.
With Cosmic Fine Tuning there seems to be agreement on the very small range universal constants can assume before human life among other things would not be possible. So we can accept, to some degree, that the argument's focus is on how to interpret this very thin margin. With Intelligent Design it continuously feels like I would need to get, at minimum, a bachelor's degree in biology to even begin to assess the topic.
'Historically, we may regard materialism as a system of dogma set up to combat orthodox dogma...Accordingly we find that, as ancient orthodoxies disintegrate, materialism more and more gives way to scepticism.'

As a Christian, I believe in intelligent design but when you ask the same questions about the existence of God as you ask about the existence of humans, you end up in an impossible place - or at least I do. Only by faith can we believe either that there is a God, or that there isn't one.

I feel the same. I have tried to get into it a few times, also reading the arguments of some christian biologists who disagree with the Discovery Institute (just to get some different perspectives) but it quickly gets very technical. |
