Handouts: None given
Reminders:
- Service Project: The 10 hours, 2 forms, and 1 essay are due on Apr 23, 2018
- Devotion 2: Due Jan. 8. Take lessons learned from Devotion 1 as you write this. Re-read the instructions (this lists your Devotion 2 Book Choices). Start this early to make it good!
Instructional Time: Unit 5 - Biology
Journal 5-4: Study Packet, Page 20
- Based on the movie we recently finished, answer these questions (if needed, use your worksheet pages to help):
- - 1) What are some scientific fields that look for design from an intelligent source?
- - 2) What was the point of bringing these up?
- - 3) What is Irreducible Complexity?
- - 4) What are some things that are irreducibly complex?
- - 5) What key details about DNA were highlighted in this movie?
- Girls, if you were absent yesterday, use this time to write answers to your Study Packet,pages 10-11 (seen on board)

General Notes on Intelligent Design: Study Packet, Page 2
- If you can determine something was designed, that is evidence of an intelligent source behind it.
- This idea is used in several scientific fields, including: Archaeology,Cultural Anthropology,Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI), & Forensics.
- - Logically, why not also apply this to biology?
- - - Not applying this to biology is evidence of an unscientific bias!
- Many biological systems provide evidence of design
- - General Examples: Bacteria flagellum, The human eye, Single-celled organisms
- - Specific Example: DNA seems to be an information-rich system.
- - - Information-rich systems can only come from intelligent sources!
- - Irreducible Complexity: A term describing something with multiple parts that relate together in such a complicated way that if you remove or change any part, the entire thing stops working!
- - - Example: Mousetraps & Bacteria flagellum tails
- - - Irreducible complexity is found all throughout biological life!
After this, we talked through other issues regarding Irreducible Complexity.
So… why, again are we studying Biology in Bible class?- If you can determine something was designed, that is evidence of an intelligent source behind it.

After this, we talked through other issues regarding Irreducible Complexity.
- Your worldview affects how you interpret the evidence. Example:
- Atheist’s think: There is no God & therefore limit scientific explanations in biology:
- - “You cannot look for design in biology because that implies there is a God, and we don’t believe there is.”
- Christian’s think: There is a God & therefore open up scientific explanations in biology:
- - “You should look for design in biology & use that concept to understand how everything works together.”
