Podcasts about irreducible

A @Christadelphians Video: Dr. S. Palmer discusses the relationship between science and the Bible, arguing they are not contradictory, but rather complementary.### Highlights-

Could you explain irreducible complexity to a friend? How about firing off three reasons you believe it to be true? You never know when you'll be asked to explain your scientific worldview to a family member, friend, or associate. The real question: are you ready? On this ID The Future, we get another chance to learn from biochemist Dr. Michael Behe. Here, Dr. Behe discusses his journey into the field of biochemistry, his key concept of irreducible complexity, and the distinctions between intelligent design and creationism. The conversation also explores scientific and philosophical objections to intelligent design, the implications of Darwinian evolution, and the significance of recent scientific advancements in understanding life's complexity. This interview originally aired on the Truthful Hope podcast. Source

Episode 2.24From Life to the CosmosIs the design we see in nature just an illusion—or does it point to something more?In this second installment of our series on the teleological argument, we explore layers of apparent fine-tuning across biology, planetary systems, the solar system, and the universe itself. From the genetic code and molecular machines to the unique traits of Earth, the Sun, and even our galactic neighborhood, we ask: Does this all look accidental or intentional?We break down key arguments from thinkers like Behe, Dembski, and Gonzalez, and engage with major counterarguments, including the anthropic principle, evolution, and the multiverse with clarity and rigor.Topics include:Irreducible complexity in biological systemsEarth's “Goldilocks” conditions and solar fine-tuningThe privileged planet hypothesisResponses to evolutionary and multiverse-based objectionsWhy the design inference remains a rational explanationWhether you're new to this argument or want to sharpen your thinking, this episode dives deep into why life and discovery may be more than lucky accidents.Slip Fault Earthquake (crazy!!): https://youtu.be/77ubC4bcgRM?si=vuD9oYqw-SwibFpDFind our videocast here: https://youtu.be/W_bmn9LJEQEMerch here: https://take-2-podcast.printify.me/Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):⁠https://uppbeat.io/t/reakt-music/deep-stone⁠License code: 2QZOZ2YHZ5UTE7C8Find more Take 2 Theology content at http://www.take2theology.com

Challenging Evolutionary Theory: A Biblical PerspectiveThe recent Reformed Rookie podcast tackled the contentious issue of evolution vs. creation, presenting a compelling case for a literal interpretation of Genesis. The discussion highlighted several key arguments against macroevolution, emphasizing the limitations of current evolutionary theory and the overwhelming evidence supporting special creation.Key takeaways from the podcast include:The inadequacy of the evolutionary model: The podcast systematically dismantles the "goo to you via the zoo" narrative, citing the lack of observable, repeatable evidence for macroevolution (large-scale changes leading to new kinds of organisms). The scientific method itself is questioned in its application to this theory.Irreducible complexity: The podcast uses the analogy of a bicycle to illustrate irreducible complexity – a system where removing a single part renders the whole system non-functional. This concept is applied to the complexity of the cell and the human body, posing a significant challenge to the gradual evolution of such intricate systems.Genetic limits: Breeding experiments demonstrate that while microevolution (small-scale changes within a kind) occurs, it's limited. No new genetic information is added; existing information is merely rearranged or lost.The fossil record: The podcast exposes several evolutionary hoaxes and highlights the scarcity of transitional forms in the fossil record, contradicting the predictions of Darwinian evolution. The discussion also touches upon the questionable interpretations of existing fossil evidence.The philosophical implications: The podcast delves into the philosophical underpinnings of evolutionary theory, questioning its materialistic presuppositions and their impact on our understanding of morality, logic, and purpose.The podcast also introduces the "MILC" acronym (Macroevolution, Irreducible Complexity, Genetic Limits, Cyclical Change) as a helpful tool for engaging in discussions about evolution. It encourages critical thinking and a reliance on God's word as the ultimate source of truth.This podcast is a must-listen for anyone interested in a thoughtful and well-researched exploration of this crucial topic.

Glenn's latest, Non Buddhist Mysticism: Performing Irreducible and Primitive Presence (Eyecorner Press, 2022), presents a radical reorientation to “spiritual” practice. Drawing from François Laruelle's concept of future mysticism and the author's own previous work on non-buddhism, Glenn Wallis galvanizes a materialist spirituality for the twenty-first century. Liberated from the punctilious gaze of the masters, delivered into the hands (and hearts) of the reader, this is a spirituality “born in the spirit of heresy rather than sanctity.” The intended outcome is a subject “fit for the clash with Hell” – a person equipped, lovingly and compassionately, to confront the injustices of the world. We also look at the great work taking place at INCITE Seminars, a place of practice which all listeners are invited to. Order at EyeCorner Press Learn more about your ad choices.

But when evidence was presented to her that contradicted the billions-of-years-of-evolution narrative, she was left asking, “Why wasn’t I told this?!” Her own training in medicine enabled her to clearly see how features of the human body which she had previously been told were amazing outcomes of evolution, are in fact products of incredible design and goal-oriented planning. In fact, it is inconceivable that processes such as the blood clotting system, or birth, could have been cobbled together over numerous iterations of trial-and-error. No organism would have survived such experimentation with its vital, complex, interconnected biological systems! The human body simply did NOT evolve!

Federico Faggin is an Italian-American physicist, engineer, inventor and entrepreneur. He is best known for designing the first commercial microprocessor, the Intel 4004. A new groundbreaking theory of consciousness proposes that qualia reside in quantum fields. Federico Faggin is one of the greatest luminaries of high technology alive today. A physicist by education, he is the inventor of the microprocessor and the MOS silicon gate technology, both of which underlie the modern world's entire information technology. With the knowledge and experience of a lifetime in cutting-edge fields, Federico now turns his attention to consciousness and the nature of reality, sharing with us his profound insights on the classical and quantum worlds, artificial intelligence, life and the human mind. In this discussion, he elaborates on an idealist model of reality, produced after years of careful thought and direct experience, according to which nature's most fundamental level is that of consciousness as a quantum phenomenon, while the classical physical world consists merely of evocative symbols of a deeper reality.

Ready to dip a toe in the ocean of biological ingenuity? Dr. Jonathan McLatchie is back, this time to discuss with host Andrew McDiarmid the engineering elegance and irreducible complexity of the process of bacterial cell division. You may wonder why we should care about something so minuscule as bacterial cells. After all, something so insignificant and unseen has little bearing on our daily lives. But if we've learned anything in the biological revolution of the 20th century, it's that consequential things often come in very small packages. And if even the simplest forms of life exhibit stunning complexity and engineering prowess, all the more do we! And that complexity and design demands an adequate explanation. Here, McLatchie describes the remarkable process of cell wall breakage and re-synthesis that allows cell division to take place and explains why it's a big problem for Darwinian evolution. Source

In his book, The Myth of Normal, Dr. Gabor Mate points out that all children have 4 irreducible needs:   a sense of security trust in the world interrelationships with others connection to your authentic emotions… And the way that they get these needs met is the availability of an attuned, non-stressed and emotionally reliable caregiver.  The more stressed or distracted the caregiver, then the shakier the emotional architecture of the child's mind will be. And that's the crux of it all…how do we set up parents and families to be able to be those attuned, non-stressed and emotionally available caregivers?  Julie and Ginger want to share this message from Dr. Mate and talk about how it aligns with so much of what ATN believes about Attachment being the Antidote, but also about how we have to advocate for what families need in today's society.   We highly recommend The Myth of Normal by Gabor Mate, MD and Daniel Mate

In another fan favorite re-release. Human need: what exactly is it, how do we meet it, and what level should nobody fall below? These are the questions which plague the Wrong Boys...

many of us feel plagued by a deep-seated unworthiness ingrained in us by society and culture. at a fundamental level, we are convinced there is a lot wrong with us. part of this suffering comes from a society that reduces us to the level of its own distorted and violent view of reality, rooted in colonial and capitalist imaginations. in today's part 2 of our conversation on our infinite worth and power, I asked ChatGPT: why are we irreducible to any one given aspect of our lives? Here are my 7 favorite reasons it came up with, and my reflections on each. if you haven't watched part 1, you can do so here. i hope you enjoy this episode, made with love. 

we all face a deep unworthiness and are convinced there is something (or a lot) fundamentally wrong with us. this episode unpacks why you can't be reduced to any one given aspect of your being or experience, or what society projects onto you and you in turn internalize as your own (eg, Beauty according to the colonial paradigm). you are infinite, complex, and multi-dimensional. you are love. you are divine. you are a multidimensional being forced to over identify with a one-dimensional identity that will reproduce the social order. you are not your productivity, your job, your social status, your “success”. you are not your failures, regrets, or mistakes. you are not the chapter of life that you are currently in. you are not what you fixate on about yourself. what if you are love? what if you are more complex, deep, layered, and awe-inspiring than the reality you've been given will ever let you see or understand? i hope you enjoy this episode, made with love

When we understand what "Irreducible Complexity" means, we begin to learn that the "evolution theory" of humans breaks down.  We will break apart this meaning and help the listener understand that "human evolution" as we know it, simply cannot be.  Something or someone altered our D.N.A. to become "human."

An age-old objection to the concept of evolution is that of the blind watchmaker, and it goes like this. If a man were to find a working watch in an apparently abandoned place, far from civilization, which would be more probable: that the elements all happened to combine perfectly in the wind and heat and rain, such that a watch resulted by mere happenstance--or that another individual who had purchased the watch from an intelligent designer had been in that same place before, and had simply lost it? It's popularly believed that this argument has been discredited, but I've yet to hear the actual counter-argument to refute it. Darwin himself wrote of his theory of evolution, "If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down." In other words, any organism, or component of an organism, that was irreducibly complex would discredit his theory. He could say this in his day, because at the time, biochemistry was entirely unknown. Author Michael Behe wrote in "Darwin's Black Box" that it was once believed that insects arose spontaneously from dung and spoiled food, because if left to themselves for any length of time, one might go away, return, and find organic material infested with them. When small organisms were assumed to be very simple, this seemed believable. Now we know better. Even the simplest cell is unbelievably complex--akin to an incredibly efficient city in which each citizen knows and performs his job. These jobs include protein synthesis and breakdown, energy production, repair, and communication within the cell and with the outside world, not to mention complete replication of itself. The concept of irreducible complexity, as Behe defines it, is to first determine the function of the system and all the system's components, and then to determine if all of those components are required for its function. If so, then by definition, that system could not have come about by gradual changes. If it did, natural selection would have no reason to select each iteration on the way to functionality, because each in-between step would be at best, useless, and at worst, fatal. The classic example of the former is the eye. Earlier iterations of this incredibly complex system could not see, and would thus be useless. Therefore, natural selection would have no "reason" to pass on the non-functional, half-formed system to future generations.  An example of the latter is the clotting cascade: an intricate internal and external feedback system allows blood to clot without a runaway clotting process that might solidify all the blood in the body at once. If the system did not work at all, though, even a minor injury would cause the creature to bleed to death. Objections to the concept of irreducible complexity tend to sidestep actual biochemical mechanisms in favor of conceptual precursors. These argue that light sensing organs were a precursor to the eye, for instance, and did confer survival advantage, and were thus passed down via natural selection. But since tiny steps cannot be demonstrated by which the one evolved into the other, this is a conceptual rather than a physical precursor, much like, as Behe argues, a bicycle might be a precursor to a motorcycle. The former is a much simpler means of transportation on wheels, but you can hardly make small, slight modifications to a bicycle and turn it into a motorcycle from the preexisting components of the bicycle. Even if one were to bring in outside parts to assemble, intermediate phases would still be utterly useless until the whole upgrade were complete. That scenario wouldn't represent evolution anymore, but something else altogether--something called punctuated equilibrium. The theory of punctuated equilibrium tries to rescue evolution from both the quandary of irreducible complexity, as well as the absence of fossil intermediates (which Darwin had predicted we'd be swimming in by now, if his theory were correct). The theory, proposed by Niles Eldredge and Stephen Jay Gould in 1972, holds that evolution occurs in large jumps rather than tiny small changes. This theory reminds me of the deus ex machina literary device: "and then the gods came down and fixed everything." (Only, not God, you understand.) In literature, this device is considered a cop-out. Authors employ it only when they have no idea how to fix the mess they've created. But that's not the case in science, apparently. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this ID the Future from the vault, Jorn Dyerberg, the Danish biologist and co-discoverer of the role of omega-3 fatty acids in human health and nutrition, talks with host and physicist Brian Miller about finding irreducible complexity in cells, and how it takes many enzymes and co-enzymes working together for life-essential metabolism to work in every living cell. This poses a problem for neo-Darwinism, Dyerberg explains, since if these enzymes showed up one at a time, and evolved via one or two small mutations at a time, as Darwinian gradualism posits, then “over these eons, the other enzymes would just be sitting there waiting for the next one to come,” and waiting around without any function that might explain Read More › Source

On this ID the Future, Your Designed Body author and physician Howard Glicksman again sits down with host and professor of neurosurgery Michael Egnor to further explore Glicksman's new book, co-authored with engineer Steve Laufmann. Here Glicksman gives a quick flyover of what they explore in fascinating depth in the book, namely the irreducible complexity of that extraordinary systems of systems that is the human respiratory system. As Glicksman explains, there are individual systems that are irreducibly complex, and these are joined together into a higher-level system of systems that is also irreducibly complex, marked by causal circularities and coherent interdependencies at every turn. Without all of it guided by various highly precise control mechanisms, no life. Darwinian gradualism is Read More › Source

On today's ID the Future, Your Designed Body co-author and physician Howard Glicksman talks with host and neurosurgery professor Michael Egnor about Glicksman's new book, co-authored with systems engineer Steve Laufmann. Glicksman walks through a series of systems in the human body that are each irreducibly complex, and are each part of larger coherent interdependent systems. As Glicksman puts it, the human body is “irreducible complexity on steroids.” How could blind evolutionary processes, such as neo-Darwinism's joint mechanism of natural selection working on random genetic mutations, build this bio-engineering marvel? Your Designed Body makes the case that it couldn't. It's not even close. What is required instead is foresight, planning, and engineering genius. Source

On today's ID the Future biologist Michael Behe and Philosophy for the People host Pat Flynn conclude their conversation (posted by permission here) about some of the best objections to Behe's central case for intelligent design. One objection Behe and Flynn tackle in this episode: the idea of evolution overcoming the irreducible-complexity hurdle through co-option. That is, maybe the precursors to what would become one of today's molecular machines, such as the bacterial flagellum motor, co-opted simpler machines being used for other purposes, allowing evolution to build a bacterial flagellum motor one small step at a time over thousands or millions of generations, even though the completed bacterial flagellum ceases to function at all when just one of its many key parts Read More › Source

Today's ID the Future continues A Mousetrap for Darwin author Michael Behe's conversation with philosopher Pat Flynn, focused on some of the more substantive objections to Behe's case for intelligent design in biology. In this segment the pair discuss the bacterial flagellum, the cilium, and the blood clotting cascade, and tackle critiques from Alvin Plantinga, Graham Oppy, Russell Doolittle, Kenneth Miller, and others.
