Palmer Study Course On Intelligent Design: Human Exceptionalism 6, Part 1

From the course unit: Darwin claimed that bipedality would have been the first indication of apes evolving into humans. But after searching for evidence of increasing bipedality, the best scientists can do is claim that hominids were facultatively (optionally) bipedal. All apes today are facultatively bipedal. Is that a convincing argument that humans and apes are closely related? What other fossil evidence shows us the distinct difference between apes and humans? Read More ›

Micro evolution vs Macro Evolution, Part 1

John and Sandy Palmer: The mutations we discuss in this session are the random mutations that Neo-Darwinists claim to be the driving force of macro-evolution. There is increasing evidence that in fact most mutations aren’t completely random, but are directed to specific areas of the genome where changes can stimulate adaptation. This is additional evidence for design, not random processes. Read More ›

Recognizing Design: Part 2 of the “Introduction to Intelligent Design” video series

Part 2 applies the core concepts of irreducible complexity and functional coherence to one of the most important functions in each cell - energy production. Read More ›

Part 2 of New introduction to intelligent design: Recognizing Design Part 2

In Part 1, we look at evidence that the universe had a beginning, therefore it had a Beginner – a Creator. We look more deeply at the information in DNA that makes life possible. Part 2 applies the core concepts of irreducible complexity and functional coherence to one of the most important functions in each cell - energy production. Read More ›

Palmer: Part 1 begins with the basic concepts of Darwinian Evolution. Darwin’s theory related to heredity, but the science behind genetics was a mystery in his day. Darwin’s assumptions about heredity have proven to be mistaken. Read More ›
