Study Guide for Test 2 Flashcards
What is the most compelling evidence for the intelligent design of the universe
the fine tuning of the laws of physics and chemistry
Don’t forget to study memory verse and all Vocab
your welcome
How many conditions in the universe must be “just right” in order for human life to exist?
35
what r some parameters that must be set just right?
gravity and rate of expansion
what did Greenstien suggest
scientists have stumbled upon scientific proof of the existence of a supreme being
what evidence lead us to infer that something has been designed
highly improbable events: a pattern or functional outcome
what is the problem with the Weak Anthropic Principle
It doesn’t explain why the necessary condition of the universe are so fine tuned
What is the problem with the many worlds hypothesis
There is no evidence to other universes: who is generating the universes
if there is indeed cause of the universe, what attributes must that one possess
Transends and exists outside of matter, space, time and energy and must be intelligent
describe intelligent design
it looks designed because it is designed (there is a god)
Describe Darwinism
it looks designed but its not designed (there is no God)
what r the two parts of the evolutionary theory
biological evolution
chemical evolution
what is biological evolution
how we get from simple celled life to more complex life
what is chemical evolution
how we get from non living chemicals to the first living simple celled organisms
what did Darwins time think about a cell
it was a simple globule of plasm
what has since been discovered about the makeup of the protein molecules that makeup a single cell
proteins were really big, long complicated molecules
Give an example of something that is sequence specific
letters in a word
What did Francis Crick discover in 1957 about the function of the DNA molecule within each cell
information in DNA directs the synthesis of proteins in the cell
what question was raised by the discovery of complex, functional information in DNA
who put the message inside the DNA
In human experience, what is the only source of specified funtional information
an intelligent designer
To what does Bill Gates compare DNA
DNA is a software program but more complex
all life is made up of proteins….. what r the odds that a single simple protein could come together by random chance
one in the 10 to the 164 power
about how many amino acids must be correctly joined to form the simplest protein
at least 150 amino acids
about how many proteins does it take to make the simplest single cell organism
250-400
why serious scientist no longer thinking that life began by chance
chance is not a good hypothesis
what is the problem with the prebiotic natural selection hypothesis
it is not alive yet. This theory depends on reproduction and copying
what is the problem with the self organization theory
natural forces of attraction do not explain the information produced
If something has the apperance of design, what do we naturally conclude
that it was designed by an intelligence
