Despite the claims, Behe has not been refuted with regard to irreducible complexity.

This…actually explains the popularity of Darwinism.

“Our brains use 2,000 to 5,000 so-called Intellectual Deficiency (ID) genes, according to Crabtree’s estimate. Geneticists routinely identify specific mutations in ID genes as the causes of various types of mental retardation and similar intellectual syndromes that arise during imperfections in brain development.3 Proper human intelligence requires at least one clean copy of every ID gene.4 Like a missing wooden slat in a very long rope bridge, a mutant ID gene challenges the brain to carefully “step over” the gap on its way to developing the biological infrastructure for healthy intelligence.
Each new generation accrues about 60 new mutations to the gene-coding DNA regions of the human genome. Crabtree applied this rate to calculate that “every 20-50 generations we should sustain a mutation in one copy of one of our many ID genes.” As a result, “in the past 3000 years then (~120 generations), each of us should have accumulated at the very least 2.5-6 mutations in ID genes.” Accordingly, the human intellect “perhaps reached a peak 2000-6000 years ago.”1″
Here’s another article with a similar theme. I would point out two things about this. One, whether or not the human brain is deteriorating genetically, modern humans’ reliance on machines to help with their thinking may have something to do with intellectual capacity. We are no longer required to exercise our memory and thinking skills as rigorously as our forebears who did not have super-fast computational devices. Two, the argument that Genesis was written so that “primative man” could understand it is unpersuasive, based on these findings.

Posted in For God with tags Atheism, Christianity, Creationism, Darwinism, Delusional Darwinoids, Evolution, genetic information, information, Science on May 28, 2013 by cavalier973Suppose two men get stranded on a desert island, and as they are walking along the beach, they see a collection of seashells ahead. As they approach, they realize that the seashells have been arranged to form a message: “Fresh water 50 yards to the north”, accompanied by an arrow helpfully directing one to the north. The first man says, “Someone must have been here before, and created this message in the sand for those of us who follow after.” The second man ridicules the first, and says, “That’s unlikely. What really happened here is that the waves and the weather threw the seashells up on the beach, and only coincidentally arranged them in a pattern that we interpret as a message.”
No offense, but the first man’s hypothesis has exponentially more credibility than the second man’s, because it is our experience that information always derives from an intelligent source. In the same way, the specific and complex genetic information present in living organisms indicates strongly that an Intelligent Agent was responsible for life’s existence.
What is “information”?
Posted in For God with tags Atheism, Christianity, Creationism, Darwinism, Darwinoids, Delusional Darwinoids, Evolution, genetics, information, Science on May 28, 2013 by cavalier973A Darwinoid criticism of the Creationist “information argument”, and response.
An excerpt, in which the inability of Darwinoids to understand the implications of their own dogma:
“Among other things, Coyne berated Eldredge for not mentioning ‘some of the classic and most powerful arguments for evolution [including] the nonfunctional eyes of cave organisms, which evolved from sighted creatures.’ Of course, this is a loss of information for eye function. What would be really impressive evidence for goo-to-you evolution would be fish gaining eyesight where there was no previous genetic information for eyesight. But Coyne’s example, like nearly all others given as convincing ‘proof’ of evolution, is a change in exactly the opposite direction required for evolution!”
