His speciality was in NASA science.

Is this serious? A rocket engineer is not the same thing as a cosmologist. Durrh.How is a NASA scientist any less credible than another scientist?
There is no such thing as "NASA science".His speciality was in NASA science.

Yes, that is exactly what you are saying.I'm not saying NASA science exists, but he by definition was a scientist.
So what?Physics and engineering relates to the fine tuning of the universe.
It depends on how you use his expertise.How is a NASA scientist any less credible than another scientist?
Ignorant people do, sure. And biblical slavery was just as bad. Which brings us back to your previous post:People associate slavery with racism and the trans atlantic slave trade. The Old Testament slavery was not to that magnitude.
Yes, that is exactly what you are saying.
Yes, he was a scientist. So what? He was not a cosmologist. He was a rocketry expert.
And he was soundly refuted well over ten years ago. His claims carry no weight.Biochemist Dr. Michael Behe, who argues that evolution never have given rise to the intricate structures of life, has identified something he calls "irreducible complexity." This refers to an organism which is so complex that it could not have come together piece by piece and still function; all the parts must have come about at once in order to have any function at all.
So what?
No, life is merely finely tuned to the universe. You have cause and effect reversed.The universe is finely tuned. The knee joint consists of at least 16 essential characteristics, each requiring thousands of pieces of information to exist simultaneously in the genetic code. Therefore, the knee could not have evolved gradually but must have been created all at once as a whole, fully functioning joint.
He hasn't identified it. He has only asserted it. He has yet to present a method to determine the difference between something that is "irreducibly complex" and something that is simply unknown.Biochemist Dr. Michael Behe, who argues that evolution never have given rise to the intricate structures of life, has identified something he calls "irreducible complexity."
This has nothing to do with this:The universe is finely tuned.
And this does not lead to that:The knee joint consists of at least 16 essential characteristics, each requiring thousands of pieces of information to exist simultaneously in the genetic code.
Therefore, the knee could not have evolved gradually but must have been created all at once as a whole, fully functioning joint.
No, life is merely finely tuned to the universe. You have cause and effect reversed.
And what makes you think that such evolution is not understood? We can observe the evolution of the human knee in the fossil record.
He hasn't identified it. He has only asserted it. He has yet to present a method to determine the difference between something that is "irreducibly complex" and something that is simply unknown.
Well he ha specific claims of organs and systems that could not have evolved, but those claims were refuted a long time ago.He hasn't identified it. He has only asserted it. He has yet to present a method to determine the difference between something that is "irreducibly complex" and something that is simply unknown.
Yes. It is amazing and its evolution is well understood. Has been for some time. I will link a paper for you to read:The flagellum of some bacteria is a marvel of engineering. Harvard biologist Howard Berg refers to in his public lectures as "the most efficient machine in the universe." The flagellum is a little motor-driven propeller that sits on the backs of certain bacteria and drives them through their watery environment. It spins at 100,000 rpm and can change direction in a quarter turn. The intricate machinery in this molecular motor-including a rotor, a stator, O-rings, bushings, and a drive shaft-requires the coordinated interaction of approximately forty complex protein parts. If any part is missing or not available in the right proportions, no functional flagellum will form. So, how could it have evolved? According to Michael Behe, we know of only one sufficient cause that can produce functionally integrated, irreducibly complex systems: an Intelligent Designer.
