Biophysicist Kirk Durston offers some feedback to theoretical physicist Sabine Hossenfelder. Lots of comments, including “You are dead on that she avoids talking about how space, time, matter, and energy came into existence.”

Kirk Durston on evolution and faith
Durston: What if you found out that one of the most frequent reasons that people have abandoned their faith was itself looking very sketchy indeed? I’m talking about evolution and its consistent failure to verify its most important prediction — without which it is dead in the water, as it were. The Darwinian theory that the full diversity of life evolved from a single primitive cell.
Kirk Durston on science’s God of the Gaps
Opinion: The God of the Gaps was invented by people who wanted to evade serious issues about the lack of fit between secularist and theistic evolutionist beliefs and the fundamental nature of the universe.
Kirk Durston on design in the universe
Kirk Durston talks about John D. Barrow (1952–2020) and Frank Tipler who introduced the conversation we have today
Kirk Durston takes on Larry Krauss on whether the universe could come from nothing
Did “nothing” create the universe? Could it?
Kirk Durston now has a YouTube channel
He hopes to address common science, philosophy, and faith issues.
If we need AlphaFold to figure out protein folding, how likely is protein folding to be a product of mere chance?
We are told by many philosophers that life came to exist on Earth purely by chance. How likely is that, given the intricacy of the machinery that governs our bodies, such that someone needs to design AlphaFold to figure it out?
Kirk Durston: What do we do when Darwinism looks less like science all the time?
Craig Venter: All living cells that we know of on this planet are “DNA software”-driven biological machines, comprised of hundreds of thousands of protein robots, coded for by the DNA.
A biophysicist looks at the limits of what science can tell us
Kirk Durston: An essential prediction of the Darwinian theory of common descent, for example, is that functional genetic information increases through a process of mutations, insertions, and deletions. Experimental science, however, consistently falsifies this prediction.
Kirk Durston: In defence of experimental science
I am not aware (and I’ve thought long about this) of a single conflict between faith in God and experimental science.
Kirk Durston: Backing up the particle physicist who says there is “baked in” bias in science
Story re Sabine Hosenfelder’s comments here. In response, Kirk Durston from P2C kindly writes to say, If anyone is interested in a list of references with links, backing up the serious problem that science is facing right now, I wrote a blog post a while back that has a “Further Reading” section at the bottom of it. It currently Read More…
