Ken Miller on Intelligent Design Ken Miller's talk on Intelligent Design at Case Western University. Ken Miller basically rips Intelligent Design apart in a 2 hour long exposé of the claims of intelligent design and the tactics that creationists employ to get it shoehorned into the American school system.

Why Intelligent Design is WRONG, Part I READ THIS This video is NOT meant to be an accurate representation of evolution, as evolution does not have a predetermined goal (though there is the goal to reproduce). This video is meant to test one simple point, that RANDOM MUTATION + NON-RANDOM SELECTION = VERY IMPROBABLE RESULT. For further discussion on the use of a "goal" see below. For simulations that represent evolution more accurately see my later videos. In this video I show why the central tenant of Intelligent Design or ID is wrong. They argue they can tell when an object is "designed", meaning it could not have arisen by chance, but their logic is fatally flawed. Here I will actually simulate evolution showing how impossibly improbable outcomes can appear quite easily, without anything being designed. For those who fail to find solace in the fact that I have used a "goal" image in this video I will 1) offer a quaint explanation for how this DOES NOT impose design and 2) direct you to Part II of this video. See, imagine there is an ecosystem where two species live in a symbiotic relationship. Species A offers food to species B for protection. The way species A recognizes species B is because B looks like SouthPark characters. Now species C happens to also live in this environment but looks nothing like SouthPark characters. They resemble random noise. They go about collecting their food on their own. Evolution by natural selection and common sense tells us that any member of species C that has an advantage in collecting food will be better off (more energy and time for reproduction). Thus that advantage will be passed on. Therefore, random mutations in species C's population that make members very slightly resemble SouthPark characters will be passed on because those organisms might be able to trick a member of species A every now and then more so than those that are just random noise. As mutations build up in the population of species C, they begin to resemble SouthPark characters more and more, thus tricking species A more and more getting free food and increasing their fitness. Mimicry like this happens all the time in nature. The evolution of species C is not designed or directed. It just happens that those that resemble species B more (thus looking like a SouthPark character) will have a higher fitness. It is a product of their environment. They will pass on those mutations and the population will evolve.

Intelligent Design and Creationism/Evolution Controversy 'Intelligent Design' (ID) is a new form of creationism that emerged after legal decisions in the 1980s hampered the inclusion of 'creation science' in the public school curriculum. In the 20 years since ID appeared, there has been no evidence of it being used to solve problems in biology. Although the scientific/scholarly part of ID has been a failure, the 'cultural renewal' part of ID has been a success, as supporters of ID seek 'restoration' of a theistic sensibility in American culture to replace what they consider an overemphasis on secularism.

Are you an Intelligent Life Form? This is a true story - What you are about to see is a message that resides in deep outer space -- The message was designed to be read and understood by an intelligent life form -- Are you an intelligent life form? Can you understand the message? What does it mean? On July 15, 1972, NASA launched an unmanned spacecraft called the Pioneer 10 into outer space. On the space craft was attached a sign (or plaque) with a message to any intelligent life form that might discover the spacecraft. I was looking at the image and symbols on the plaque and I thought to myself, how much information would an intelligent creature from another planet be able to understand from the message on the plaque. Then it dawned on me that there are plenty of intelligent creatures living on this planet (Earth) that have never been exposed to the plaque. I'm talking about all those young people that only care about the latest rap dance or the latest cable show starlet. I would guess that most of this generation has never even heard of the Voyager spacecraft much less the older Pioneer missions. Therefore, I concluded that we could use these intelligent creatures to test the message on the Pioneer Plaque. If you have never heard of or seen the Pioneer 10 Plaque, then please feel free take the following test. Take the Intelligent Life Form Test 1. Try to pretend that you are an intelligent alien life form from a distant planet. 2. Watch the video try to make sense out of all symbols, diagrams, images on the plaque. 3. Make a list of all the concepts, symbols, and/or logic that you think you comprehend. 4. Make a list of all the concepts, symbols, and/or logic that you think you do not comprehend. 5. Discuss any other feelings or reactions you had about the plaque. What did you like and/or dislike about the plaque.
