    A recap would be great, if you had the time.
    MrP

    Hmm, let's see...

    Why the eye is not irreducibly complex:
    1. There are many examples of simpler eyes in other organisms that operate perfectly well.
    2. People can be born without various bits of their eyes (lens, iris, sets of photoreceptors) and without certain biochemical functions and still retain some level of vision. In fact, the loss of the lens can allow a person to detect UV light - cool, huh?

    Why the eye is not intelligently designed:
    1. Humans have rubbish vision compared to some other animals, notably birds. Could be refuted if we accept that humans are not the pinnacle of the evolutionary tree.
    2. Our eyes are fragile - a small knock on the head can make the back of it fall off.
    3. Our eyes are wired backwards, with a jumble of blood vessels and tissue overlaying the photoreceptors - not efficient.

    I'm slightly worried that i'm far more interested in biology as a result of this topic than I ever was in a biology class. I think i've also learnt more.... :D As a result of the fantastic posts by oldrnwisr and a few others, not JC....

    Has there been any movement on a definition for "complex specified information" yet?

    Heh. No. So I guess that's over 2 years J C has completely failed to provide details. It's almost as if he has nothing!

    Given that the clown who came up with the notion didn't know what it is, it's hardly surprising he couldn't let other people know!

    Actually, Dumbski's wikipage has him describing how much progress he's made with SCFI:
    William Dumb Dembski wrote:
    I'm not and never have been in the business of offering a strict mathematical proof for the inability of material mechanisms to generate specified complexity
    So, there you go. Even Dumbski admits that he can't show that SCFI (whatever that is) can't be produced naturally.

    I'd say that Prof Dawkins met his match in this very capable lady ... who held her own in the argument ... and told him a few home truths.

    Wendy Wright ... is right !!!:)


    My god, how could anyone watch that video and consider it Dawkins meeting his match.. She's clearly not very intelligent.

    Okie dokey. And when you do could you do us all a MASSIVE favour and come back-- to visit us and confirm for us that the afterlife is real?

    The eyes, required to understand afterlife are not here. This dead land is haunted by shadows... There is a after life which is making me to contact with your haunted world. My grave is very deep

    Between the conception
    And the creation
    Between the emotion
    And the response

    This isn't a poetry forum. Less of that jibber-jabber. You choose not to write like a normal person, because you're afraid to have a logical conversation.

    Your weak intellect has just made him decide entertaining your rubbish and mythical made up stories is a waste of time-stick to your books that where made by people with agendas of power and control.

    I don't think he can be considered to be even at the level of Pseudo-intellectual when he brings Mass Effect 3 to a discussion on the idiocy of Creationism. :D JC appears to have gone missing from the topic actually...
