Another video (unrelated to the flagellum but very impressive):

-Evolutionist claim that all of life's features (example: the bacterial flagellum) can be explained by the purely material process described in their theory - accidental mutations sorted by natural selection. However, Intelligent Design (ID) theory makes the claim that certain features exist in the universe (including features of life) that are BEST explained by an intelligent cause (ie. a cause with a goal or purpose - ergo originating from a mind). With the scientific hypothesis of intelligent causation, and the objective explanatory filter developed by Dr William Dembski - http://www.uncommondescent.com - ID theory has quickly & firmly established itself as the "official" headache for the most ardent evolutionists today. Those that are informed know what is at stake, and that the explanatory power of the intelligent design theory is effectively guaranteed to supplant a purely materialist theory of evolution in time. This can be seen in how ID has reached a type of critical mass of acceptance - wherewith about a hundred classes are already taught in various universities (including the Ivy league). Classes whcih challenge purely materialistic thinking and more critically analyze the theory of evolution. The growth will continue as more objective & open minded scientists & students eager to explore better explanations continue to pursue better science.
Dr Michael Behe (author of "Darwins Black Box" & proponent of ID) popularized the term *irreducible complexity* to describe features in life which are complex and yet their function can not be reduced without destroying the primary function and usefulness of the system/function to the host organism. In the case seen in the video, the bacteruial flagellum has approximately 40 finely matched protein parts that must all be in place for the bacterial flagellum (w/ motor) to work. Furthermore, the assembly process of this motor is one of the key overlooked aspects of the problem of this systems development - ie. even the assembly program/process is arguably irreducibly complex. So, not only does a bacteria need to have the DNA coded for the correct proteins, the whole cell has to 'know' WHERE to put each protein part and WHEN to put it there. This is an astronomically improbable task to acheive through random fortuitous increases in instruction sequences (which to this day remains purely hypothetical - ie. imaginary) and parts specifications - consider the relative size of the cell surface area to the size of the bacterial flagellum and the chances each molecular part will assemble in the correct location & with the correct timing for assembly. So, the whole machine and the ORDER or sequence of system assembly is critical to success! If the whole universe were a fishbowl like earth's oceans - except fully teeming with bacteria - for 15 billion years, there would still be insufficient probablistic resources to accomplish the feat of builindg up such a comparable system even once. It's no wonder that ID theory is so satisfying to the many open minded scientist it has attracted.
Unfortunately, most evolutionist oppose this theory based strictly on materialistic beliefs. And this is a true detriment to real science. They stubbornly maintain their faith in natural selection - listen to Richard Dawkins - note especially the last words in the following video:
http://www.arn.org/docs/dawkins.mpg
[Excerpt - In exressing why natural selection is believed to find creative designs/solutions to all these kinds of intermediate problems]: "Natural selection is uhmmm..uhhh.. well, I suppose that is a sort of matter of faith on my part." - Richard Dawkins
If never before, you have now found that faith is a absolute neccessity and type of trade-secret of even the most outspoken of evolutionist. So, don't be their fool when they say evolution is a scientific fact. It's almost assured, in my opinion, that future generations will find it hard to believe that people ever accepted the theoy of evolution with the information we have at our disposal. Recent breakthroughs in accelerated protein folding algorithms will, I believe likely, lead to some very uncomforting news for adherents of evolutionary theory - news that could bring that described future closer to our doorsteps - and evolutionists fade into the history books as the mystics of these days... stay tuned. :)

@TheJo4an Oh really? Tell me who came first. The man or the woman? How did a man grow overies? A uterus? Pray tell. Or, how did a woman grow a penis or stones? Was anyone there to see this happen or is this something we speculate on and form theories?
Now please explain all the vegetation and it's origin.

@rbosre Dude... "Kinds" are not dna. And your theory on kinds has been debunked. Youtube it. Google it. Ringspecies. An animal evolves into two strands, who can interbreed. Those two evolves into two new, and so on. The two originals can breed, but not two from the different strands, given enough time. Two different "kinds" but both can interbreed with their common ancestor.
Here: /watch?v=Pb6Z6NVmLt8 <- Easy enough, even tho its very anti-creationist, its very simple.

@TheJo4an Oh really? Because you said so. Genesis speaks expressly to "kinds" and that is a biological fact. Dogs don't make cats..period. But you can breed a coyote to a poodle, a wolf to a bull dog and what do you get? A Dog. The same applies for ALL species. The DNA will not allow a cross between non-kind species. A Russian doctor in the 20's tried to inseminate a 5 women with sperm from a monkey trying to find the missing link. He killed all 5. Look it up and read it for yourself. KINDS.

@rbosre 1st, it does NOT speak to DNA. 2nd, make a quick youtube-search for ringspecies. Your "kinds" does not work the way you think. Really.

@TheJo4an Genesis 1 speaks to DNA, "each after it's on kind". There are several kinds of animals. Camels can breed with llamas, horses with zebras, tigers with lions. These are kinds. You can't breed a horse with a cow but you can breed a horse with a mule or a donkey. All species came from only about 16,000 to 24,000 "kinds" of animals. Organic life from non-organic does not exist because non-oganic is famalgahyde and cyanide, both posions and cannot produce oganic life. 1 to the 120th power.

Even if i would sit here and type out all the scientific evidence for evolution, etc etc, origin of life, bla bla... I don't need to. I don't need to justify not beliving in your screwed up world of heaven or hell. I've heard of DNA. I have the basic understanding of it to understand how it works. I'm no scientist. There are people with PHD's to smoke crack on a daily basis. Point? None. I've used my head for plenty of things. Bilology lessons for example.

@TheJo4an That is no more "fu" than to believe the lie that everything came from nothing. Non-life produced life. All the vegetation came from a single cell, all animals, and people. God saod people would say they came from rocks and I heard a PHD say his right hand came from a comet and his left hand came from a star and this fool has a PHD. C'mon man, use your head for something besides a hat rack. Please explain were all the vegetation, trees grasses, vegetables etc. Ever hear of DNA?

@rbosre I started off by calling you names. Nothing new here. You'r a dumbass wierdo, who thinks the only way to recive salvation from something bad your ancestors ancestors ancestors ancestor did is to pray to a guy who supposedly died and came back to life some 2000+ years ago.. Thats some fucked upp stuff.
