Ep 3. Design

Irreducible complexity, the idea that there are systems in biology that could not be developed randomly through natural selection, is part of the argument for design.  To explore this topic I did some footwork, I spoke to friends, professors, and of course, my Dad.  First, I spoke to Emily Stanton, an environmental science major at Anderson University, to see if she knew about this idea. I asked her to explain the concept and give me examples.  Dr. Joni McCullar Criswell, a biology professor at Anderson University, also spoke with me about this idea. She gave me a brief description of Irreducible complexity and how she has seen her work point towards the idea of a necessary creator. Finally, I spoke to my dad, Dr. Ethan Brown, to wrap up the argument. Once we had a firm grasp of the scientific idea of irreducible complexity, we built on this concept to tie it back to the idea of a necessary designer. God must have created the world to be how it is, and no less than what he has assembled could be possible This argument has reaffirmed my belief in the necessity of a God. If this argument helped you too, let me know by leaving a 5-star review and share it with a friend you think needs to hear this podcast!
