Dissent Over Descent: Intelligent Design's Challenge to Darwinism - Clip 2

[ceparuak]

Intelligent Design is more intelligent than Random Evolution blindness.

This guy is irritatingly smart.

All of these random accidents that Atheists believe in are nonsensical, they make no sense because everything would be an illogical accident.

If everything exists accidentally, Atheists could not make sense of this universe in any logical way.

This universe is a logical one and we can make logical sense of it, therefore a logical God exists.

Until you can logically explain the logic behind this illogical, random, accidental universe you believe in, you don't make any sense.

"Darwinism" would be a belief in Darwin's existence, or it could be believing similar philosophies as Darwin, like his religion for example.

You try to equate it into a belief in evolution. This fails on so many levels. Thousands of people have been refining our knowledge about the fact that is evolution in the 150 years since Darwin published his work. Darwin's work has been picked apart by so many. The accurate stuff stands and the inaccurate stuff still helped advance science.

Darwinism, lol, you should be ashamed for using this word this way.

@trueleroix

'neo-darwinism' is an accepted term for the synthesis of the theory that random, incremental, mutation and selection is the major mechanism in evolution, with genetics. If evolution is the term for change over time, then darwinism isn't a synonym for it. Eugenie Scott said as much in a debate over ID, saying that, even if natural selection was shown not to be the mechanism for evolution, that would not disprove evolution (tho I don't think IDers claim otherwise, anyway).
