Evolution Fossils, Genes and Mousetraps 3-9

Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) 2006
Lecture features Kenneth R. Miller, an Evolutionary Biology Professor at Brown University. Miller obtained his Ph.D in Biology from the University of Colorado in 1974, is a contributing author to a series of Pretince Hall Biology textbooks, as well as the following books dealing with finding common ground and reconciling evolution and religion in today's society.

In this lecture Ken Miller discusses the controversy surrounding the teaching of evolution, presents compelling evidence for evolution and reasons why "intelligent design" is not scientific.

Have you been to college lectures before? I think this guy is doing a good job of presenting his argument.

@missmanal1234 Yes, Miller does have a mouse trap stuck to his tie. He used that earlier in the presentation as part of his attempt to disprove Behe's example of irreducible complexity as seen in a mousetrap. In Milller's "refutation" first we see him mangling a mousetrap, to make it less "complex", & we are told - with the usual lack of evidence found in evolutionary theory - that it will still catch "really stupid mice." In one clip he even says the coil & cheese alone will kill mice! Cont.

@missmanal1234 Cont. Again, the usual 0 evidence is there as at no time do we see any exs. of his mangled traps killing mice, stupid or otherwise. He also "refutes" the irreducible complexity of the mousetrap by using it as a tie clip. Let's see, the clip that holds the mousetrap in place is made by intellilgent design, even sophisticated technology. But somehow we are to read between some invisible lines & believe that means it's not irreducibly complex. The usual evo smoke & mirrors b.s.

is it just me or does he have a mouse trap stuck to his tie??

Is it me... or is this guy just rambling on???
