Today, for part 12, we hit one of their star 12 00:00:13,830 --> 00:00:13,840 part 12, we hit one of their star 13 00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:16,110 part 12, we hit one of their star players, Bill Dembski. What's his 14 00:00:16,110 --> 00:00:16,120 players, Bill Dembski. What's his 15 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,430 players, Bill Dembski. What's his problem? Let's check it out. Bill is 16 00:00:18,430 --> 00:00:18,440 problem? Let's check it out. Bill is 17 00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:20,830 problem? Let's check it out. Bill is just like other DI senior fellows, such 18 00:00:20,830 --> 00:00:20,840 just like other DI senior fellows, such 19 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:22,830 just like other DI senior fellows, such as Stephen Meyer and Michael Behe, in 20 00:00:22,830 --> 00:00:22,840 as Stephen Meyer and Michael Behe, in 21 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:24,510 as Stephen Meyer and Michael Behe, in that he went through academia and got a 22 00:00:24,510 --> 00:00:24,520 that he went through academia and got a 23 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:26,630 that he went through academia and got a doctorate in mathematics, only to spend 24 00:00:26,630 --> 00:00:26,640 doctorate in mathematics, only to spend 25 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:28,470 doctorate in mathematics, only to spend his life as a pointless apologist 26 00:00:28,470 --> 00:00:28,480 his life as a pointless apologist 27 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,390 his life as a pointless apologist writing crappy books and contributing 28 00:00:30,390 --> 00:00:30,400 writing crappy books and contributing 29 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,070 writing crappy books and contributing nothing legitimate whatsoever to any 30 00:00:32,070 --> 00:00:32,080 nothing legitimate whatsoever to any 31 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:34,070 nothing legitimate whatsoever to any field of inquiry. The reason he's top 32 00:00:34,070 --> 00:00:34,080 field of inquiry. The reason he's top 33 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,230 field of inquiry. The reason he's top brass at the DI is because he came up 34 00:00:36,230 --> 00:00:36,240 brass at the DI is because he came up 35 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:37,670 brass at the DI is because he came up with one of their favorite scripts for 36 00:00:37,670 --> 00:00:37,680 with one of their favorite scripts for 37 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:39,630 with one of their favorite scripts for pushing intelligent design propaganda, 38 00:00:39,630 --> 00:00:39,640 pushing intelligent design propaganda, 39 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,270 pushing intelligent design propaganda, and that is specified information, which 40 00:00:42,270 --> 00:00:42,280 and that is specified information, which 41 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,150 and that is specified information, which essentially says that the genome is so 42 00:00:44,150 --> 00:00:44,160 essentially says that the genome is so 43 00:00:44,160 --> 00:00:46,190 essentially says that the genome is so super crazy complicated, like a crazy 44 00:00:46,190 --> 00:00:46,200 super crazy complicated, like a crazy 45 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,230 super crazy complicated, like a crazy complicated code, and only things that 46 00:00:48,230 --> 00:00:48,240 complicated code, and only things that 47 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:49,870 complicated code, and only things that think can make codes, which proves the 48 00:00:49,870 --> 00:00:49,880 think can make codes, which proves the 49 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,150 think can make codes, which proves the Christian God exists. Yes, much like 50 00:00:52,150 --> 00:00:52,160 Christian God exists. Yes, much like 51 00:00:52,160 --> 00:00:54,590 Christian God exists. Yes, much like Behe's irreducible complexity, it's just 52 00:00:54,590 --> 00:00:54,600 Behe's irreducible complexity, it's just 53 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:56,390 Behe's irreducible complexity, it's just another life is too complicated 54 00:00:56,390 --> 00:00:56,400 another life is too complicated 55 00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,030 another life is too complicated argument, but from the perspective of 56 00:00:58,030 --> 00:00:58,040 argument, but from the perspective of 57 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,030 argument, but from the perspective of mathematics and information theory. But, 58 00:01:00,030 --> 00:01:00,040 mathematics and information theory. But, 59 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:01,990 mathematics and information theory. But, unlike irreducible complexity, which 60 00:01:01,990 --> 00:01:02,000 unlike irreducible complexity, which 61 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:03,670 unlike irreducible complexity, which they seem to have more or less abandoned 62 00:01:03,670 --> 00:01:03,680 they seem to have more or less abandoned 63 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:04,950 they seem to have more or less abandoned because of how thoroughly it has been 64 00:01:04,950 --> 00:01:04,960 because of how thoroughly it has been 65 00:01:04,960 --> 00:01:06,950 because of how thoroughly it has been debunked, perhaps most thoroughly in 66 00:01:06,950 --> 00:01:06,960 debunked, perhaps most thoroughly in 67 00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:09,910 debunked, perhaps most thoroughly in this series, this DNA is a crazy code 68 00:01:09,910 --> 00:01:09,920 this series, this DNA is a crazy code 69 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,230 this series, this DNA is a crazy code crap is what Meyer has been pushing like 70 00:01:12,230 --> 00:01:12,240 crap is what Meyer has been pushing like 71 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,550 crap is what Meyer has been pushing like gangbusters recently. He's been making 72 00:01:14,550 --> 00:01:14,560 gangbusters recently. He's been making 73 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,430 gangbusters recently. He's been making lots of appearances. He made a shitty 74 00:01:16,430 --> 00:01:16,440 lots of appearances. He made a shitty 75 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,870 lots of appearances. He made a shitty propaganda movie for theatrical release, 76 00:01:18,870 --> 00:01:18,880 propaganda movie for theatrical release, 77 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:20,590 propaganda movie for theatrical release, and this talking point is perhaps the 78 00:01:20,590 --> 00:01:20,600 and this talking point is perhaps the 79 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,510 and this talking point is perhaps the focal point of all of it. So, it's about 80 00:01:22,510 --> 00:01:22,520 focal point of all of it. So, it's about 81 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,470 focal point of all of it. So, it's about time we perform a surgical dissection 82 00:01:24,470 --> 00:01:24,480 time we perform a surgical dissection 83 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,550 time we perform a surgical dissection and debunk it to smithereens, starting 84 00:01:26,550 --> 00:01:26,560 and debunk it to smithereens, starting 85 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,910 and debunk it to smithereens, starting right from the source. Obviously, this 86 00:01:28,910 --> 00:01:28,920 right from the source. Obviously, this 87 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,310 right from the source. Obviously, this specified information nonsense will be 88 00:01:31,310 --> 00:01:31,320 specified information nonsense will be 89 00:01:31,320 --> 00:01:32,670 specified information nonsense will be what we spend the most time talking 90 00:01:32,670 --> 00:01:32,680 what we spend the most time talking 91 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,310 what we spend the most time talking about, but let's build up to that and 92 00:01:34,310 --> 00:01:34,320 about, but let's build up to that and 93 00:01:34,320 --> 00:01:36,310 about, but let's build up to that and get some context. Just like everyone 94 00:01:36,310 --> 00:01:36,320 get some context. Just like everyone 95 00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:38,190 get some context. Just like everyone else at the DI, Bill knows me quite 96 00:01:38,190 --> 00:01:38,200 else at the DI, Bill knows me quite 97 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:39,910 else at the DI, Bill knows me quite well, and he participated in the 98 00:01:39,910 --> 00:01:39,920 well, and he participated in the 99 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:41,870 well, and he participated in the desperate wave of damage control the 100 00:01:41,870 --> 00:01:41,880 desperate wave of damage control the 101 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,470 desperate wave of damage control the entire organization enacted immediately 102 00:01:44,470 --> 00:01:44,480 entire organization enacted immediately 103 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,590 entire organization enacted immediately after I began exposing them, especially 104 00:01:46,590 --> 00:01:46,600 after I began exposing them, especially 105 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,630 after I began exposing them, especially James Tour. Here's what Bill had to say 106 00:01:48,630 --> 00:01:48,640 James Tour. Here's what Bill had to say 107 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,430 James Tour. Here's what Bill had to say about me and Jimbo the very next day 108 00:01:50,430 --> 00:01:50,440 about me and Jimbo the very next day 109 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,590 about me and Jimbo the very next day after our debate at Rice. Keep in mind 110 00:01:52,590 --> 00:01:52,600 after our debate at Rice. Keep in mind 111 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,630 after our debate at Rice. Keep in mind that James was coached by Bill, since 112 00:01:54,630 --> 00:01:54,640 that James was coached by Bill, since 113 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,710 that James was coached by Bill, since his fourth talking point in the debate 114 00:01:56,710 --> 00:01:56,720 his fourth talking point in the debate 115 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,790 his fourth talking point in the debate was Bill's pseudoscientific concept of 116 00:01:58,790 --> 00:01:58,800 was Bill's pseudoscientific concept of 117 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,390 was Bill's pseudoscientific concept of specified information. Farina focused on 118 00:02:01,390 --> 00:02:01,400 specified information. Farina focused on 119 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,630 specified information. Farina focused on Tour's lies while Tour focused on 120 00:02:03,630 --> 00:02:03,640 Tour's lies while Tour focused on 121 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,469 Tour's lies while Tour focused on chemistry.

Anyway, that's 201 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:32,590 This is my time now. Anyway, that's enough about the debate. Let's continue 202 00:03:32,590 --> 00:03:32,600 enough about the debate. Let's continue 203 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,870 enough about the debate. Let's continue to his botched criticism of a very 204 00:03:34,870 --> 00:03:34,880 to his botched criticism of a very 205 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:36,990 to his botched criticism of a very simple point I made in my very first 206 00:03:36,990 --> 00:03:37,000 simple point I made in my very first 207 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,390 simple point I made in my very first video about James. I was discussing the 208 00:03:39,390 --> 00:03:39,400 video about James. I was discussing the 209 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,310 video about James. I was discussing the idiotic way that creationists throw 210 00:03:41,310 --> 00:03:41,320 idiotic way that creationists throw 211 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,750 idiotic way that creationists throw around big numbers for shock value, such 212 00:03:43,750 --> 00:03:43,760 around big numbers for shock value, such 213 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,470 around big numbers for shock value, such as the probability of a particular 214 00:03:45,470 --> 00:03:45,480 as the probability of a particular 215 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,430 as the probability of a particular sequence of amino acids arising by 216 00:03:47,430 --> 00:03:47,440 sequence of amino acids arising by 217 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,630 sequence of amino acids arising by chance. For example, given a particular 218 00:03:49,630 --> 00:03:49,640 chance. For example, given a particular 219 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,990 chance. For example, given a particular protein with 100 amino acid residues, 220 00:03:51,990 --> 00:03:52,000 protein with 100 amino acid residues, 221 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:53,630 protein with 100 amino acid residues, the odds of that specific sequence 222 00:03:53,630 --> 00:03:53,640 the odds of that specific sequence 223 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,470 the odds of that specific sequence arising would be one in 20 to the 100, 224 00:03:56,470 --> 00:03:56,480 arising would be one in 20 to the 100, 225 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,630 arising would be one in 20 to the 100, which is a huge number. In comparison, I 226 00:03:58,630 --> 00:03:58,640 which is a huge number. In comparison, I 227 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,430 which is a huge number. In comparison, I took 10 people in a room with their 10 228 00:04:00,430 --> 00:04:00,440 took 10 people in a room with their 10 229 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:01,950 took 10 people in a room with their 10 birthdays and showed that the 230 00:04:01,950 --> 00:04:01,960 birthdays and showed that the 231 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:03,350 birthdays and showed that the probability of that particular 232 00:04:03,350 --> 00:04:03,360 probability of that particular 233 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,030 probability of that particular configuration of birthdays had a 234 00:04:05,030 --> 00:04:05,040 configuration of birthdays had a 235 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,550 configuration of birthdays had a probability of one in 42 trillion 236 00:04:07,550 --> 00:04:07,560 probability of one in 42 trillion 237 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,190 probability of one in 42 trillion trillion, also a very big number. And 238 00:04:10,190 --> 00:04:10,200 trillion, also a very big number. And 239 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:11,949 trillion, also a very big number. And yet, there they are, just like the 240 00:04:11,949 --> 00:04:11,959 yet, there they are, just like the 241 00:04:11,959 --> 00:04:14,150 yet, there they are, just like the protein. Everybody in a room must have a 242 00:04:14,150 --> 00:04:14,160 protein. Everybody in a room must have a 243 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,229 protein. Everybody in a room must have a birthday, all proteins must have an 244 00:04:16,229 --> 00:04:16,239 birthday, all proteins must have an 245 00:04:16,239 --> 00:04:18,310 birthday, all proteins must have an amino acid sequence, and these numbers 246 00:04:18,310 --> 00:04:18,320 amino acid sequence, and these numbers 247 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,390 amino acid sequence, and these numbers don't mean anything. It's like confusing 248 00:04:20,390 --> 00:04:20,400 don't mean anything. It's like confusing 249 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,430 don't mean anything. It's like confusing the infinitesimal odds of a specific 250 00:04:22,430 --> 00:04:22,440 the infinitesimal odds of a specific 251 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,230 the infinitesimal odds of a specific person winning the lottery with the 100% 252 00:04:25,230 --> 00:04:25,240 person winning the lottery with the 100% 253 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,470 person winning the lottery with the 100% probability that somebody will win. 254 00:04:27,470 --> 00:04:27,480 probability that somebody will win. 255 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,390 probability that somebody will win. Bill's big brain retorts to my 256 00:04:29,390 --> 00:04:29,400 Bill's big brain retorts to my 257 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,230 Bill's big brain retorts to my explanation that a small child could 258 00:04:31,230 --> 00:04:31,240 explanation that a small child could 259 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,430 explanation that a small child could understand was to bring up his buzzword 260 00:04:33,430 --> 00:04:33,440 understand was to bring up his buzzword 261 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,550 understand was to bring up his buzzword of specification. Birthdays are 262 00:04:35,550 --> 00:04:35,560 of specification. Birthdays are 263 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,870 of specification. Birthdays are unspecified. For the analogy to work, it 264 00:04:37,870 --> 00:04:37,880 unspecified. For the analogy to work, it 265 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,470 unspecified. For the analogy to work, it would have to be a special pattern of 266 00:04:39,470 --> 00:04:39,480 would have to be a special pattern of 267 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,470 would have to be a special pattern of birthdays, like everyone having the same 268 00:04:41,470 --> 00:04:41,480 birthdays, like everyone having the same 269 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,470 birthdays, like everyone having the same birthday. Nope, it's arbitrary, just 270 00:04:44,470 --> 00:04:44,480 birthday. Nope, it's arbitrary, just 271 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,630 birthday. Nope, it's arbitrary, just like the arbitrary amino acid sequence I 272 00:04:46,630 --> 00:04:46,640 like the arbitrary amino acid sequence I 273 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,310 like the arbitrary amino acid sequence I was comparing it to. There is no 274 00:04:48,310 --> 00:04:48,320 was comparing it to. There is no 275 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,190 was comparing it to. There is no specification in either case. Pathetic. 276 00:04:51,190 --> 00:04:51,200 specification in either case. Pathetic. 277 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:52,550 specification in either case. Pathetic. But, this is what Bill and the rest of 278 00:04:52,550 --> 00:04:52,560 But, this is what Bill and the rest of 279 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,990 But, this is what Bill and the rest of the DI have to do. They blindly assert 280 00:04:54,990 --> 00:04:55,000 the DI have to do. They blindly assert 281 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:56,790 the DI have to do. They blindly assert that Dave is a dummy who just doesn't 282 00:04:56,790 --> 00:04:56,800 that Dave is a dummy who just doesn't 283 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,750 that Dave is a dummy who just doesn't understand anything. When I reference 284 00:04:58,750 --> 00:04:58,760 understand anything. When I reference 285 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,630 understand anything. When I reference primary scientific literature, they have 286 00:05:00,630 --> 00:05:00,640 primary scientific literature, they have 287 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,430 primary scientific literature, they have to pretend that I fumble it left and 288 00:05:02,430 --> 00:05:02,440 to pretend that I fumble it left and 289 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,470 to pretend that I fumble it left and right, especially when I use it to show 290 00:05:04,470 --> 00:05:04,480 right, especially when I use it to show 291 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:05,830 right, especially when I use it to show how they are actually the ones who 292 00:05:05,830 --> 00:05:05,840 how they are actually the ones who 293 00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:07,390 how they are actually the ones who fumble all the primary scientific 294 00:05:07,390 --> 00:05:07,400 fumble all the primary scientific 295 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,550 fumble all the primary scientific literature. And this little dig about me 296 00:05:09,550 --> 00:05:09,560 literature. And this little dig about me 297 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,350 literature. And this little dig about me playing to the gallery is quite 298 00:05:11,350 --> 00:05:11,360 playing to the gallery is quite 299 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,430 playing to the gallery is quite hilarious, since the target audience of 300 00:05:13,430 --> 00:05:13,440 hilarious, since the target audience of 301 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,830 hilarious, since the target audience of the DI is exclusively science-illiterate 302 00:05:15,830 --> 00:05:15,840 the DI is exclusively science-illiterate 303 00:05:15,840 --> 00:05:18,230 the DI is exclusively science-illiterate Christians who have absolutely no idea 304 00:05:18,230 --> 00:05:18,240 Christians who have absolutely no idea 305 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,230 Christians who have absolutely no idea what any of them are talking about. This 306 00:05:20,230 --> 00:05:20,240 what any of them are talking about. This 307 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,350 what any of them are talking about. This is why the big scary numbers approach 308 00:05:22,350 --> 00:05:22,360 is why the big scary numbers approach 309 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,230 is why the big scary numbers approach works on them, whether it's complaining 310 00:05:24,230 --> 00:05:24,240 works on them, whether it's complaining 311 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:25,710 works on them, whether it's complaining about a particular sequence of amino 312 00:05:25,710 --> 00:05:25,720 about a particular sequence of amino 313 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,870 about a particular sequence of amino acids to yield a protein or a particular 314 00:05:27,870 --> 00:05:27,880 acids to yield a protein or a particular 315 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,950 acids to yield a protein or a particular sequence of nucleotides in the genome. 316 00:05:29,950 --> 00:05:29,960 sequence of nucleotides in the genome. 317 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:31,909 sequence of nucleotides in the genome. Bill pretends it just can't come about 318 00:05:31,909 --> 00:05:31,919 Bill pretends it just can't come about 319 00:05:31,919 --> 00:05:33,950 Bill pretends it just can't come about naturally. Forget the fact that nature 320 00:05:33,950 --> 00:05:33,960 naturally. Forget the fact that nature 321 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,310 naturally. Forget the fact that nature can try billions of random sequences 322 00:05:36,310 --> 00:05:36,320 can try billions of random sequences 323 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,270 can try billions of random sequences until it finds a few that self-replicate 324 00:05:38,270 --> 00:05:38,280 until it finds a few that self-replicate 325 00:05:38,280 --> 00:05:40,470 until it finds a few that self-replicate and therefore amplify themselves. Forget 326 00:05:40,470 --> 00:05:40,480 and therefore amplify themselves. Forget 327 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,270 and therefore amplify themselves. Forget the fact that nature isn't aiming for a 328 00:05:42,270 --> 00:05:42,280 the fact that nature isn't aiming for a 329 00:05:42,280 --> 00:05:44,390 the fact that nature isn't aiming for a specific target, but simply finds 330 00:05:44,390 --> 00:05:44,400 specific target, but simply finds 331 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,110 specific target, but simply finds something functional and then refines 332 00:05:46,110 --> 00:05:46,120 something functional and then refines 333 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:47,710 something functional and then refines the sequence and corresponding function 334 00:05:47,710 --> 00:05:47,720 the sequence and corresponding function 335 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,990 the sequence and corresponding function over time via natural selection. Forget 336 00:05:49,990 --> 00:05:50,000 over time via natural selection. Forget 337 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,790 over time via natural selection. Forget the fact that no specific individual 338 00:05:51,790 --> 00:05:51,800 the fact that no specific individual 339 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,390 the fact that no specific individual sequence is needed, that there is 340 00:05:53,390 --> 00:05:53,400 sequence is needed, that there is 341 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,030 sequence is needed, that there is tremendous variability for any 342 00:05:55,030 --> 00:05:55,040 tremendous variability for any 343 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:56,710 tremendous variability for any biopolymer without sacrificing 344 00:05:56,710 --> 00:05:56,720 biopolymer without sacrificing 345 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,030 biopolymer without sacrificing functionality. Basically, forget all of 346 00:05:59,030 --> 00:05:59,040 functionality. Basically, forget all of 347 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,270 functionality. Basically, forget all of molecular biology, which is easy for him 348 00:06:01,270 --> 00:06:01,280 molecular biology, which is easy for him 349 00:06:01,280 --> 00:06:03,030 molecular biology, which is easy for him since he genuinely truly does not 350 00:06:03,030 --> 00:06:03,040 since he genuinely truly does not 351 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:04,710 since he genuinely truly does not understand this stuff. Some some 352 00:06:04,710 --> 00:06:04,720 understand this stuff. Some some 353 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:05,830 understand this stuff. Some some evolutionary theorists, by the way, they 354 00:06:05,830 --> 00:06:05,840 evolutionary theorists, by the way, they 355 00:06:05,840 --> 00:06:08,550 evolutionary theorists, by the way, they say, well, you know, it's like whenever 356 00:06:08,550 --> 00:06:08,560 say, well, you know, it's like whenever 357 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,070 say, well, you know, it's like whenever we design people, we use some term, it's 358 00:06:10,070 --> 00:06:10,080 we design people, we use some term, it's 359 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:10,910 we design people, we use some term, it's like, well, you're talking about 360 00:06:10,910 --> 00:06:10,920 like, well, you're talking about 361 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:12,030 like, well, you're talking about evolutionary search, but we're not 362 00:06:12,030 --> 00:06:12,040 evolutionary search, but we're not 363 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:13,430 evolutionary search, but we're not really searching for things cuz there's 364 00:06:13,430 --> 00:06:13,440 really searching for things cuz there's 365 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,430 really searching for things cuz there's no pre-specified target. Well, 366 00:06:16,430 --> 00:06:16,440 no pre-specified target. Well, 367 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,990 no pre-specified target. Well, there there is a target. Being alive is 368 00:06:18,990 --> 00:06:19,000 there there is a target. Being alive is 369 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,710 there there is a target. Being alive is a target. You know, if you're if you're 370 00:06:20,710 --> 00:06:20,720 a target. You know, if you're if you're 371 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,030 a target. You know, if you're if you're dead, as Steve Meyer so eloquently put 372 00:06:23,030 --> 00:06:23,040 dead, as Steve Meyer so eloquently put 373 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,230 dead, as Steve Meyer so eloquently put it, you're not really a viable candidate 374 00:06:25,230 --> 00:06:25,240 it, you're not really a viable candidate 375 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,870 it, you're not really a viable candidate for anything. No, Bill, life was never a 376 00:06:27,870 --> 00:06:27,880 for anything. No, Bill, life was never a 377 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,430 for anything. No, Bill, life was never a target. It's just a natural process 378 00:06:30,430 --> 00:06:30,440 target. It's just a natural process 379 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,750 target. It's just a natural process where complex self-organizing molecular 380 00:06:32,750 --> 00:06:32,760 where complex self-organizing molecular 381 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,990 where complex self-organizing molecular systems emerge to efficiently consume 382 00:06:34,990 --> 00:06:35,000 systems emerge to efficiently consume 383 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,030 systems emerge to efficiently consume and dissipate free energy gradients like 384 00:06:37,030 --> 00:06:37,040 and dissipate free energy gradients like 385 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,670 and dissipate free energy gradients like sunlight and increase global entropy. 386 00:06:39,670 --> 00:06:39,680 sunlight and increase global entropy. 387 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,230 sunlight and increase global entropy. These systems maintain internal order by 388 00:06:42,230 --> 00:06:42,240 These systems maintain internal order by 389 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:43,710 These systems maintain internal order by exporting disorder to their 390 00:06:43,710 --> 00:06:43,720 exporting disorder to their 391 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,950 exporting disorder to their surroundings. In other words, life is a 392 00:06:45,950 --> 00:06:45,960 surroundings. In other words, life is a 393 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:47,909 surroundings. In other words, life is a naturally occurring pattern of matter 394 00:06:47,909 --> 00:06:47,919 naturally occurring pattern of matter 395 00:06:47,919 --> 00:06:49,790 naturally occurring pattern of matter specifically prompted by the laws of 396 00:06:49,790 --> 00:06:49,800 specifically prompted by the laws of 397 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,790 specifically prompted by the laws of thermodynamics. This has been well 398 00:06:51,790 --> 00:06:51,800 thermodynamics. This has been well 399 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,990 thermodynamics. This has been well understood since the 1970s, and I've 400 00:06:53,990 --> 00:06:54,000 understood since the 1970s, and I've 401 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,710 understood since the 1970s, and I've explained the relevant physics in my 402 00:06:55,710 --> 00:06:55,720 explained the relevant physics in my 403 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,909 explained the relevant physics in my content debunking James Tour. This is 404 00:06:57,909 --> 00:06:57,919 content debunking James Tour. This is 405 00:06:57,919 --> 00:07:00,550 content debunking James Tour. This is what you ideologically captured asshats 406 00:07:00,550 --> 00:07:00,560 what you ideologically captured asshats 407 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:01,990 what you ideologically captured asshats will never let through your thick 408 00:07:01,990 --> 00:07:02,000 will never let through your thick 409 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,150 will never let through your thick skulls. But forget these esoteric 410 00:07:04,150 --> 00:07:04,160 skulls. But forget these esoteric 411 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,990 skulls. But forget these esoteric physics principles. Dembski is so dumb 412 00:07:06,990 --> 00:07:07,000 physics principles. Dembski is so dumb 413 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,670 physics principles. Dembski is so dumb that he doesn't even actually understand 414 00:07:08,670 --> 00:07:08,680 that he doesn't even actually understand 415 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,310 that he doesn't even actually understand basic principles of evolutionary 416 00:07:10,310 --> 00:07:10,320 basic principles of evolutionary 417 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:11,990 basic principles of evolutionary biology. I'm talking about high 418 00:07:11,990 --> 00:07:12,000 biology. I'm talking about high 419 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,190 biology. I'm talking about high school-level stuff. 420 00:07:13,190 --> 00:07:13,200 school-level stuff. 421 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,310 school-level stuff. >> Dawkins stops it here and says is uh 422 00:07:15,310 --> 00:07:15,320 >> Dawkins stops it here and says is uh 423 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,350 >> Dawkins stops it here and says is uh well, see how cuz 424 00:07:17,350 --> 00:07:17,360 well, see how cuz 425 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,909 well, see how cuz Darwinian processes do better than 426 00:07:19,909 --> 00:07:19,919 Darwinian processes do better than 427 00:07:19,919 --> 00:07:21,390 Darwinian processes do better than random processes. And I would say, 428 00:07:21,390 --> 00:07:21,400 random processes. And I would say, 429 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,190 random processes. And I would say, "Amen. That's right, they do." But why 430 00:07:23,190 --> 00:07:23,200 "Amen. That's right, they do." But why 431 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:24,710 "Amen. That's right, they do." But why do they do it? Because you fed 432 00:07:24,710 --> 00:07:24,720 do they do it? Because you fed 433 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,550 do they do it? Because you fed information into them. No, Bill, nobody 434 00:07:27,550 --> 00:07:27,560 information into them. No, Bill, nobody 435 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,830 information into them. No, Bill, nobody is feeding information into anything. 436 00:07:29,830 --> 00:07:29,840 is feeding information into anything. 437 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,950 is feeding information into anything. There is no target genome. Genomes exist 438 00:07:32,950 --> 00:07:32,960 There is no target genome. Genomes exist 439 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,470 There is no target genome. Genomes exist and mutations occur. The non-randomness 440 00:07:35,470 --> 00:07:35,480 and mutations occur. The non-randomness 441 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,390 and mutations occur. The non-randomness of natural selection is based on 442 00:07:37,390 --> 00:07:37,400 of natural selection is based on 443 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,470 of natural selection is based on survival advantage. If there's a point 444 00:07:39,470 --> 00:07:39,480 survival advantage. If there's a point 445 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,510 survival advantage. If there's a point mutation in the genome that results in 446 00:07:41,510 --> 00:07:41,520 mutation in the genome that results in 447 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,430 mutation in the genome that results in the associated protein functioning more 448 00:07:43,430 --> 00:07:43,440 the associated protein functioning more 449 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,310 the associated protein functioning more efficiently, that organism is more 450 00:07:45,310 --> 00:07:45,320 efficiently, that organism is more 451 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:46,950 efficiently, that organism is more likely to survive and pass on the 452 00:07:46,950 --> 00:07:46,960 likely to survive and pass on the 453 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,230 likely to survive and pass on the mutation. So, the mutation proliferates 454 00:07:49,230 --> 00:07:49,240 mutation. So, the mutation proliferates 455 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,190 mutation. So, the mutation proliferates in a statistically significant way. It 456 00:07:51,190 --> 00:07:51,200 in a statistically significant way. It 457 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,310 in a statistically significant way. It is genuinely [\h__\h] astounding that he 458 00:07:53,310 --> 00:07:53,320 is genuinely [\h__\h] astounding that he 459 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,430 is genuinely [\h__\h] astounding that he does not understand this. When you read 460 00:07:55,430 --> 00:07:55,440 does not understand this. When you read 461 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,110 does not understand this. When you read the Darwinian literature, it's as though 462 00:07:57,110 --> 00:07:57,120 the Darwinian literature, it's as though 463 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,350 the Darwinian literature, it's as though if you put heredity, 464 00:07:59,350 --> 00:07:59,360 if you put heredity, 465 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,270 if you put heredity, random variation, 466 00:08:01,270 --> 00:08:01,280 random variation, 467 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,350 random variation, uh natural selection, replication, you 468 00:08:03,350 --> 00:08:03,360 uh natural selection, replication, you 469 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,590 uh natural selection, replication, you put those things together, you're 470 00:08:05,590 --> 00:08:05,600 put those things together, you're 471 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:06,830 put those things together, you're automatically going to get a lot of 472 00:08:06,830 --> 00:08:06,840 automatically going to get a lot of 473 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:08,230 automatically going to get a lot of interesting stuff happening. And it's 474 00:08:08,230 --> 00:08:08,240 interesting stuff happening. And it's 475 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,510 interesting stuff happening. And it's not the case. You can put all those key 476 00:08:10,510 --> 00:08:10,520 not the case. You can put all those key 477 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,590 not the case. You can put all those key Darwinian elements together and nothing 478 00:08:12,590 --> 00:08:12,600 Darwinian elements together and nothing 479 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,710 Darwinian elements together and nothing interesting will happen. Nothing will 480 00:08:14,710 --> 00:08:14,720 interesting will happen. Nothing will 481 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,550 interesting will happen. Nothing will happen. Evolution doesn't happen. Except 482 00:08:17,550 --> 00:08:17,560 happen. Evolution doesn't happen. Except 483 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,550 happen. Evolution doesn't happen. Except for yes, it [\h__\h] does, which is why 484 00:08:19,550 --> 00:08:19,560 for yes, it [\h__\h] does, which is why 485 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,510 for yes, it [\h__\h] does, which is why we observe evolution every single day. 486 00:08:21,510 --> 00:08:21,520 we observe evolution every single day. 487 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,470 we observe evolution every single day. Can you believe this jerk? This is 488 00:08:23,470 --> 00:08:23,480 Can you believe this jerk? This is 489 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,550 Can you believe this jerk? This is flat-earth level science denial. First 490 00:08:25,550 --> 00:08:25,560 flat-earth level science denial. First 491 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,390 flat-earth level science denial. First of all, referring to primary scientific 492 00:08:27,390 --> 00:08:27,400 of all, referring to primary scientific 493 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,790 of all, referring to primary scientific literature in evolutionary biology as 494 00:08:29,790 --> 00:08:29,800 literature in evolutionary biology as 495 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,149 literature in evolutionary biology as Darwinian literature makes him sound 496 00:08:32,149 --> 00:08:32,159 Darwinian literature makes him sound 497 00:08:32,159 --> 00:08:34,589 Darwinian literature makes him sound like a complete [\h__\h] No modern 498 00:08:34,589 --> 00:08:34,599 like a complete [\h__\h] No modern 499 00:08:34,599 --> 00:08:37,149 like a complete [\h__\h] No modern evolutionary biologist is a Darwinist. 500 00:08:37,149 --> 00:08:37,159 evolutionary biologist is a Darwinist. 501 00:08:37,159 --> 00:08:39,230 evolutionary biologist is a Darwinist. We are at least a century past that. 502 00:08:39,230 --> 00:08:39,240 We are at least a century past that. 503 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:40,790 We are at least a century past that. Darwin would have no clue what's 504 00:08:40,790 --> 00:08:40,800 Darwin would have no clue what's 505 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:42,469 Darwin would have no clue what's happening right now. He didn't even know 506 00:08:42,469 --> 00:08:42,479 happening right now. He didn't even know 507 00:08:42,479 --> 00:08:44,750 happening right now. He didn't even know that DNA exists. Bill is just 508 00:08:44,750 --> 00:08:44,760 that DNA exists. Bill is just 509 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,550 that DNA exists. Bill is just desperately trying to reduce an entire 510 00:08:46,550 --> 00:08:46,560 desperately trying to reduce an entire 511 00:08:46,560 --> 00:08:48,590 desperately trying to reduce an entire field of science to the utterances of a 512 00:08:48,590 --> 00:08:48,600 field of science to the utterances of a 513 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,870 field of science to the utterances of a single prophet, since that's actually 514 00:08:50,870 --> 00:08:50,880 single prophet, since that's actually 515 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,030 single prophet, since that's actually how his propaganda operates, and he 516 00:08:53,030 --> 00:08:53,040 how his propaganda operates, and he 517 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:54,829 how his propaganda operates, and he wants to level the playing field. But 518 00:08:54,829 --> 00:08:54,839 wants to level the playing field. But 519 00:08:54,839 --> 00:08:57,190 wants to level the playing field. But second, he has no idea what mutation and 520 00:08:57,190 --> 00:08:57,200 second, he has no idea what mutation and 521 00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,829 second, he has no idea what mutation and natural selection actually mean. He has 522 00:08:59,829 --> 00:08:59,839 natural selection actually mean. He has 523 00:08:59,839 --> 00:09:02,430 natural selection actually mean. He has no idea what macro mutations are, gene 524 00:09:02,430 --> 00:09:02,440 no idea what macro mutations are, gene 525 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,550 no idea what macro mutations are, gene duplication and neo-functionalization, 526 00:09:04,550 --> 00:09:04,560 duplication and neo-functionalization, 527 00:09:04,560 --> 00:09:06,790 duplication and neo-functionalization, de novo genes, entire chromosome 528 00:09:06,790 --> 00:09:06,800 de novo genes, entire chromosome 529 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,870 de novo genes, entire chromosome duplication. There can be profound 530 00:09:08,870 --> 00:09:08,880 duplication. There can be profound 531 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,030 duplication. There can be profound changes made to the genome in even a 532 00:09:11,030 --> 00:09:11,040 changes made to the genome in even a 533 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,270 changes made to the genome in even a single generation, which dramatically 534 00:09:13,270 --> 00:09:13,280 single generation, which dramatically 535 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,390 single generation, which dramatically alter the morphology of an organism. 536 00:09:15,390 --> 00:09:15,400 alter the morphology of an organism. 537 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,790 alter the morphology of an organism. This has been documented thoroughly. So, 538 00:09:17,790 --> 00:09:17,800 This has been documented thoroughly. So, 539 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:19,990 This has been documented thoroughly. So, I'm sorry, Billy boy, evolutionary 540 00:09:19,990 --> 00:09:20,000 I'm sorry, Billy boy, evolutionary 541 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,230 I'm sorry, Billy boy, evolutionary biology is plenty interesting. You're 542 00:09:22,230 --> 00:09:22,240 biology is plenty interesting. You're 543 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:23,790 biology is plenty interesting. You're just too stupid and lazy to learn 544 00:09:23,790 --> 00:09:23,800 just too stupid and lazy to learn 545 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,710 just too stupid and lazy to learn anything about it. He's right on par 546 00:09:25,710 --> 00:09:25,720 anything about it. He's right on par 547 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,150 anything about it. He's right on par with the science-illiterate Christians 548 00:09:27,150 --> 00:09:27,160 with the science-illiterate Christians 549 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,230 with the science-illiterate Christians he's pandering to. So, unfortunately, 550 00:09:29,230 --> 00:09:29,240 he's pandering to. So, unfortunately, 551 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:30,990 he's pandering to. So, unfortunately, for anyone who likes to prop him up by 552 00:09:30,990 --> 00:09:31,000 for anyone who likes to prop him up by 553 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:32,590 for anyone who likes to prop him up by playing the credentials game, I have 554 00:09:32,590 --> 00:09:32,600 playing the credentials game, I have 555 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,790 playing the credentials game, I have some bad news. He is not an actual 556 00:09:34,790 --> 00:09:34,800 some bad news. He is not an actual 557 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,950 some bad news. He is not an actual scholar, nor is he anyone to be taken 558 00:09:36,950 --> 00:09:36,960 scholar, nor is he anyone to be taken 559 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:38,950 scholar, nor is he anyone to be taken seriously by the scientific community. 560 00:09:38,950 --> 00:09:38,960 seriously by the scientific community. 561 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:40,630 seriously by the scientific community. This assessment of him on debunking 562 00:09:40,630 --> 00:09:40,640 This assessment of him on debunking 563 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,870 This assessment of him on debunking denial is quite accurate. He does not 564 00:09:42,870 --> 00:09:42,880 denial is quite accurate. He does not 565 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:44,590 denial is quite accurate. He does not publish in legitimate journals, he 566 00:09:44,590 --> 00:09:44,600 publish in legitimate journals, he 567 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,590 publish in legitimate journals, he writes shitty books full of lies, or 568 00:09:46,590 --> 00:09:46,600 writes shitty books full of lies, or 569 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,670 writes shitty books full of lies, or publishes fake papers in fake journals 570 00:09:48,670 --> 00:09:48,680 publishes fake papers in fake journals 571 00:09:48,680 --> 00:09:50,710 publishes fake papers in fake journals invented exclusively to make intelligent 572 00:09:50,710 --> 00:09:50,720 invented exclusively to make intelligent 573 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,790 invented exclusively to make intelligent design look like real science. As 574 00:09:52,790 --> 00:09:52,800 design look like real science. As 575 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,790 design look like real science. As Forrest and Grose state, Bill evades 576 00:09:54,790 --> 00:09:54,800 Forrest and Grose state, Bill evades 577 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,630 Forrest and Grose state, Bill evades criticism like the plague, and once 578 00:09:56,630 --> 00:09:56,640 criticism like the plague, and once 579 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,550 criticism like the plague, and once scholars give up on trying to explain to 580 00:09:58,550 --> 00:09:58,560 scholars give up on trying to explain to 581 00:09:58,560 --> 00:10:00,750 scholars give up on trying to explain to him how he's wrong, he proudly exclaims 582 00:10:00,750 --> 00:10:00,760 him how he's wrong, he proudly exclaims 583 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:02,910 him how he's wrong, he proudly exclaims that nobody can explain how he's wrong. 584 00:10:02,910 --> 00:10:02,920 that nobody can explain how he's wrong. 585 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:04,830 that nobody can explain how he's wrong. This is not how science works. These are 586 00:10:04,830 --> 00:10:04,840 This is not how science works. These are 587 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,350 This is not how science works. These are infantile tactics of the ID community. 588 00:10:07,350 --> 00:10:07,360 infantile tactics of the ID community. 589 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,270 infantile tactics of the ID community. And of course, what does any fraud do 590 00:10:09,270 --> 00:10:09,280 And of course, what does any fraud do 591 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:10,790 And of course, what does any fraud do when they are ignored by legitimate 592 00:10:10,790 --> 00:10:10,800 when they are ignored by legitimate 593 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,110 when they are ignored by legitimate scholars? Play the victim. The brave 594 00:10:13,110 --> 00:10:13,120 scholars? Play the victim. The brave 595 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:14,990 scholars? Play the victim. The brave rebel with the super secret truth that 596 00:10:14,990 --> 00:10:15,000 rebel with the super secret truth that 597 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:16,950 rebel with the super secret truth that the dogmatic establishment just can't 598 00:10:16,950 --> 00:10:16,960 the dogmatic establishment just can't 599 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,870 the dogmatic establishment just can't handle. A tale as old as time. Bill lays 600 00:10:19,870 --> 00:10:19,880 handle. A tale as old as time. Bill lays 601 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,910 handle. A tale as old as time. Bill lays this narrative on thick. It probably 602 00:10:21,910 --> 00:10:21,920 this narrative on thick. It probably 603 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,070 this narrative on thick. It probably would have been a way for me to get a 604 00:10:25,070 --> 00:10:25,080 would have been a way for me to get a 605 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,750 would have been a way for me to get a good academic position, 606 00:10:27,750 --> 00:10:27,760 good academic position, 607 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,070 good academic position, uh except that I immediately applied 608 00:10:30,070 --> 00:10:30,080 uh except that I immediately applied 609 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,990 uh except that I immediately applied these ideas to biology, and that uh that 610 00:10:32,990 --> 00:10:33,000 these ideas to biology, and that uh that 611 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,430 these ideas to biology, and that uh that was uh you know, that was a bridge too 612 00:10:35,430 --> 00:10:35,440 was uh you know, that was a bridge too 613 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,310 was uh you know, that was a bridge too far as far as the scientific community 614 00:10:37,310 --> 00:10:37,320 far as far as the scientific community 615 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,110 far as far as the scientific community was concerned because 616 00:10:39,110 --> 00:10:39,120 was concerned because 617 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:40,870 was concerned because uh they didn't want these ideas being 618 00:10:40,870 --> 00:10:40,880 uh they didn't want these ideas being 619 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,430 uh they didn't want these ideas being applied there. Stupid closed-minded 620 00:10:43,430 --> 00:10:43,440 applied there. Stupid closed-minded 621 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,630 applied there. Stupid closed-minded academics always spotting your shitty 622 00:10:45,630 --> 00:10:45,640 academics always spotting your shitty 623 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,590 academics always spotting your shitty apologetics a mile away and writing you 624 00:10:47,590 --> 00:10:47,600 apologetics a mile away and writing you 625 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,590 apologetics a mile away and writing you off as the fraud that you are. The nerve 626 00:10:49,590 --> 00:10:49,600 off as the fraud that you are. The nerve 627 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,510 off as the fraud that you are. The nerve of them. Anyway, at the end of the 628 00:10:51,510 --> 00:10:51,520 of them. Anyway, at the end of the 629 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,070 of them. Anyway, at the end of the video, we will put the motives of 630 00:10:53,070 --> 00:10:53,080 video, we will put the motives of 631 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,230 video, we will put the motives of Discovery Institute in context by 632 00:10:55,230 --> 00:10:55,240 Discovery Institute in context by 633 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,230 Discovery Institute in context by outlining the insidious agenda of the 634 00:10:57,230 --> 00:10:57,240 outlining the insidious agenda of the 635 00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:58,910 outlining the insidious agenda of the wealthy Christian nationalists who fund 636 00:10:58,910 --> 00:10:58,920 wealthy Christian nationalists who fund 637 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:00,670 wealthy Christian nationalists who fund them, and their relentless efforts to 638 00:11:00,670 --> 00:11:00,680 them, and their relentless efforts to 639 00:11:00,680 --> 00:11:02,310 them, and their relentless efforts to capture every sector of the American 640 00:11:02,310 --> 00:11:02,320 capture every sector of the American 641 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,110 capture every sector of the American government such that they can obliterate 642 00:11:04,110 --> 00:11:04,120 government such that they can obliterate 643 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:05,790 government such that they can obliterate the separation of church and state with 644 00:11:05,790 --> 00:11:05,800 the separation of church and state with 645 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:07,390 the separation of church and state with the eventual goal of establishing a 646 00:11:07,390 --> 00:11:07,400 the eventual goal of establishing a 647 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,990 the eventual goal of establishing a theocracy. Never forget that this is the 648 00:11:09,990 --> 00:11:10,000 theocracy. Never forget that this is the 649 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,230 theocracy. Never forget that this is the political alignment of the DI as we've 650 00:11:12,230 --> 00:11:12,240 political alignment of the DI as we've 651 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,630 political alignment of the DI as we've demonstrated several times before. First 652 00:11:14,630 --> 00:11:14,640 demonstrated several times before. First 653 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,350 demonstrated several times before. First by combing through the internally leaked 654 00:11:16,350 --> 00:11:16,360 by combing through the internally leaked 655 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:17,870 by combing through the internally leaked wedge document that outlines their 656 00:11:17,870 --> 00:11:17,880 wedge document that outlines their 657 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,270 wedge document that outlines their overtly political strategy, and also by 658 00:11:20,270 --> 00:11:20,280 overtly political strategy, and also by 659 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:21,550 overtly political strategy, and also by pointing out their involvement with 660 00:11:21,550 --> 00:11:21,560 pointing out their involvement with 661 00:11:21,560 --> 00:11:24,910 pointing out their involvement with Project 2025. This is a very dark and 662 00:11:24,910 --> 00:11:24,920 Project 2025. This is a very dark and 663 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,750 Project 2025. This is a very dark and evil organization posing as the pious 664 00:11:27,750 --> 00:11:27,760 evil organization posing as the pious 665 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,110 evil organization posing as the pious and persecuted voices of the dirty 666 00:11:30,110 --> 00:11:30,120 and persecuted voices of the dirty 667 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,630 and persecuted voices of the dirty dogmatic atheist scientific community. 668 00:11:32,630 --> 00:11:32,640 dogmatic atheist scientific community. 669 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,230 dogmatic atheist scientific community. And don't forget that for a single 670 00:11:34,230 --> 00:11:34,240 And don't forget that for a single 671 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,070 And don't forget that for a single second. But this section will have a lot 672 00:11:36,070 --> 00:11:36,080 second. But this section will have a lot 673 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:37,430 second. But this section will have a lot more weight once we have thoroughly 674 00:11:37,430 --> 00:11:37,440 more weight once we have thoroughly 675 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,390 more weight once we have thoroughly debunked the pseudoscience itself. So 676 00:11:39,390 --> 00:11:39,400 debunked the pseudoscience itself. So 677 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,230 debunked the pseudoscience itself. So let's tear apart Dembski's [\h__\h] 678 00:11:41,230 --> 00:11:41,240 let's tear apart Dembski's [\h__\h] 679 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,350 let's tear apart Dembski's [\h__\h] first. Specified information. DNA has 680 00:11:44,350 --> 00:11:44,360 first. Specified information. DNA has 681 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,110 first. Specified information. DNA has super special information that only a 682 00:11:46,110 --> 00:11:46,120 super special information that only a 683 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,190 super special information that only a god could put there. All right, let's 684 00:11:48,190 --> 00:11:48,200 god could put there. All right, let's 685 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,310 god could put there. All right, let's give this crap the full treatment. So 686 00:11:50,310 --> 00:11:50,320 give this crap the full treatment. So 687 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:51,950 give this crap the full treatment. So what is the genesis here? The first 688 00:11:51,950 --> 00:11:51,960 what is the genesis here? The first 689 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:53,830 what is the genesis here? The first thing we have to do is discuss a related 690 00:11:53,830 --> 00:11:53,840 thing we have to do is discuss a related 691 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,270 thing we have to do is discuss a related term, specified complexity. This is a 692 00:11:56,270 --> 00:11:56,280 term, specified complexity. This is a 693 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,150 term, specified complexity. This is a term coined by Leslie Orgel in his 1973 694 00:11:59,150 --> 00:11:59,160 term coined by Leslie Orgel in his 1973 695 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,790 term coined by Leslie Orgel in his 1973 book The Origins of Life, Molecules and 696 00:12:01,790 --> 00:12:01,800 book The Origins of Life, Molecules and 697 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,190 book The Origins of Life, Molecules and Natural Selection. This was an early era 698 00:12:04,190 --> 00:12:04,200 Natural Selection. This was an early era 699 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,270 Natural Selection. This was an early era of origin of life research that began to 700 00:12:06,270 --> 00:12:06,280 of origin of life research that began to 701 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,030 of origin of life research that began to hint at what would later become systems 702 00:12:08,030 --> 00:12:08,040 hint at what would later become systems 703 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,110 hint at what would later become systems chemistry, the first musings of the 704 00:12:10,110 --> 00:12:10,120 chemistry, the first musings of the 705 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,390 chemistry, the first musings of the potentiality for systems of molecules to 706 00:12:12,390 --> 00:12:12,400 potentiality for systems of molecules to 707 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,230 potentiality for systems of molecules to replicate themselves, which has been 708 00:12:14,230 --> 00:12:14,240 replicate themselves, which has been 709 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:15,670 replicate themselves, which has been thoroughly demonstrated since the 710 00:12:15,670 --> 00:12:15,680 thoroughly demonstrated since the 711 00:12:15,680 --> 00:12:18,030 thoroughly demonstrated since the beginning of the 21st century. Specified 712 00:12:18,030 --> 00:12:18,040 beginning of the 21st century. Specified 713 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,030 beginning of the 21st century. Specified complexity is a term that distinguishes 714 00:12:20,030 --> 00:12:20,040 complexity is a term that distinguishes 715 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,510 complexity is a term that distinguishes between simple order or random noise and 716 00:12:22,510 --> 00:12:22,520 between simple order or random noise and 717 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,470 between simple order or random noise and patterns that seem both unlikely and 718 00:12:24,470 --> 00:12:24,480 patterns that seem both unlikely and 719 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,390 patterns that seem both unlikely and meaningful, like a random sequence of 720 00:12:26,390 --> 00:12:26,400 meaningful, like a random sequence of 721 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,590 meaningful, like a random sequence of nucleotides versus the sequence found in 722 00:12:28,590 --> 00:12:28,600 nucleotides versus the sequence found in 723 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,990 nucleotides versus the sequence found in the genome of a living organism. This is 724 00:12:30,990 --> 00:12:31,000 the genome of a living organism. This is 725 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,190 the genome of a living organism. This is a perfectly sensible and intuitive idea, 726 00:12:33,190 --> 00:12:33,200 a perfectly sensible and intuitive idea, 727 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,390 a perfectly sensible and intuitive idea, but Dembski takes this vague intuition 728 00:12:35,390 --> 00:12:35,400 but Dembski takes this vague intuition 729 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,110 but Dembski takes this vague intuition and attempts to weaponize it against 730 00:12:37,110 --> 00:12:37,120 and attempts to weaponize it against 731 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,510 and attempts to weaponize it against evolutionary principles. He dresses it 732 00:12:39,510 --> 00:12:39,520 evolutionary principles. He dresses it 733 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,070 evolutionary principles. He dresses it up with technical vocabulary from 734 00:12:41,070 --> 00:12:41,080 up with technical vocabulary from 735 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:42,670 up with technical vocabulary from information theory, pretends it 736 00:12:42,670 --> 00:12:42,680 information theory, pretends it 737 00:12:42,680 --> 00:12:44,310 information theory, pretends it functions like a rigorous design 738 00:12:44,310 --> 00:12:44,320 functions like a rigorous design 739 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,550 functions like a rigorous design detector, and then applies it to biology 740 00:12:46,550 --> 00:12:46,560 detector, and then applies it to biology 741 00:12:46,560 --> 00:12:48,510 detector, and then applies it to biology as though evolution were just a one-shot 742 00:12:48,510 --> 00:12:48,520 as though evolution were just a one-shot 743 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,390 as though evolution were just a one-shot random search. That's where the whole 744 00:12:50,390 --> 00:12:50,400 random search. That's where the whole 745 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,190 random search. That's where the whole thing goes off the rails. We're talking 746 00:12:52,190 --> 00:12:52,200 thing goes off the rails. We're talking 747 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:53,870 thing goes off the rails. We're talking about the desperate denial that 748 00:12:53,870 --> 00:12:53,880 about the desperate denial that 749 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:55,990 about the desperate denial that functional nucleotide sequences can 750 00:12:55,990 --> 00:12:56,000 functional nucleotide sequences can 751 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,310 functional nucleotide sequences can arise by chance and subsequently become 752 00:12:58,310 --> 00:12:58,320 arise by chance and subsequently become 753 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,350 arise by chance and subsequently become refined through natural selection. For 754 00:13:00,350 --> 00:13:00,360 refined through natural selection. For 755 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,870 refined through natural selection. For reference, we can use his 2024 blog post 756 00:13:02,870 --> 00:13:02,880 reference, we can use his 2024 blog post 757 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,030 reference, we can use his 2024 blog post Specified Complexity Made Simple. 758 00:13:05,030 --> 00:13:05,040 Specified Complexity Made Simple. 759 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:06,750 Specified Complexity Made Simple. Remember, the game here is to get the 760 00:13:06,750 --> 00:13:06,760 Remember, the game here is to get the 761 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,150 Remember, the game here is to get the reader to believe that specified 762 00:13:08,150 --> 00:13:08,160 reader to believe that specified 763 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,630 reader to believe that specified complexity is not just a loose intuition 764 00:13:10,630 --> 00:13:10,640 complexity is not just a loose intuition 765 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,310 complexity is not just a loose intuition that intelligent design advocates have 766 00:13:12,310 --> 00:13:12,320 that intelligent design advocates have 767 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,150 that intelligent design advocates have inflated far beyond its legitimate 768 00:13:14,150 --> 00:13:14,160 inflated far beyond its legitimate 769 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,030 inflated far beyond its legitimate scope, but rather a rigorous 770 00:13:16,030 --> 00:13:16,040 scope, but rather a rigorous 771 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,430 scope, but rather a rigorous mathematical concept that critics simply 772 00:13:18,430 --> 00:13:18,440 mathematical concept that critics simply 773 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,110 mathematical concept that critics simply refuse to understand. So let's go ahead 774 00:13:21,110 --> 00:13:21,120 refuse to understand. So let's go ahead 775 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:22,829 refuse to understand. So let's go ahead and understand it so that we can watch 776 00:13:22,829 --> 00:13:22,839 and understand it so that we can watch 777 00:13:22,839 --> 00:13:24,550 and understand it so that we can watch it completely fall apart under even 778 00:13:24,550 --> 00:13:24,560 it completely fall apart under even 779 00:13:24,560 --> 00:13:26,430 it completely fall apart under even light scrutiny. Right off the bat, 780 00:13:26,430 --> 00:13:26,440 light scrutiny. Right off the bat, 781 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,510 light scrutiny. Right off the bat, Dembski starts with the usual credential 782 00:13:28,510 --> 00:13:28,520 Dembski starts with the usual credential 783 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,390 Dembski starts with the usual credential laundering. He exclaims that he didn't 784 00:13:30,390 --> 00:13:30,400 laundering. He exclaims that he didn't 785 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,830 laundering. He exclaims that he didn't invent the phrase, Leslie Orgel used it, 786 00:13:32,830 --> 00:13:32,840 invent the phrase, Leslie Orgel used it, 787 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:34,070 invent the phrase, Leslie Orgel used it, and Crick said something about 788 00:13:34,070 --> 00:13:34,080 and Crick said something about 789 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:35,990 and Crick said something about specification, therefore this whole 790 00:13:35,990 --> 00:13:36,000 specification, therefore this whole 791 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,630 specification, therefore this whole thing has scientific pedigree. Nope. 792 00:13:38,630 --> 00:13:38,640 thing has scientific pedigree. Nope. 793 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:40,390 thing has scientific pedigree. Nope. Using a phrase that appeared in origin 794 00:13:40,390 --> 00:13:40,400 Using a phrase that appeared in origin 795 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,230 Using a phrase that appeared in origin of life discussions half a century ago 796 00:13:42,230 --> 00:13:42,240 of life discussions half a century ago 797 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,030 of life discussions half a century ago does not magically validate the very 798 00:13:44,030 --> 00:13:44,040 does not magically validate the very 799 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,110 does not magically validate the very specific creationist use Dembski wants 800 00:13:46,110 --> 00:13:46,120 specific creationist use Dembski wants 801 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,190 specific creationist use Dembski wants to make of it now by coining the related 802 00:13:48,190 --> 00:13:48,200 to make of it now by coining the related 803 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,630 to make of it now by coining the related but separate term specified information. 804 00:13:50,630 --> 00:13:50,640 but separate term specified information. 805 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,230 but separate term specified information. In fact, he admits that Orgel's 806 00:13:52,230 --> 00:13:52,240 In fact, he admits that Orgel's 807 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,470 In fact, he admits that Orgel's formulation was vague, confused, and 808 00:13:54,470 --> 00:13:54,480 formulation was vague, confused, and 809 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:55,870 formulation was vague, confused, and different from his own. So, he 810 00:13:55,870 --> 00:13:55,880 different from his own. So, he 811 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:57,470 different from his own. So, he immediately fails in his attempt at 812 00:13:57,470 --> 00:13:57,480 immediately fails in his attempt at 813 00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,350 immediately fails in his attempt at pretending that legitimate science 814 00:13:59,350 --> 00:13:59,360 pretending that legitimate science 815 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,430 pretending that legitimate science somehow endorses his deceptive language 816 00:14:01,430 --> 00:14:01,440 somehow endorses his deceptive language 817 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,550 somehow endorses his deceptive language and bogus arguments. He's pointing at 818 00:14:03,550 --> 00:14:03,560 and bogus arguments. He's pointing at 819 00:14:03,560 --> 00:14:05,070 and bogus arguments. He's pointing at words and aura farming to do 820 00:14:05,070 --> 00:14:05,080 words and aura farming to do 821 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,190 words and aura farming to do apologetics, nothing more. Then we get 822 00:14:07,190 --> 00:14:07,200 apologetics, nothing more. Then we get 823 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,070 apologetics, nothing more. Then we get to the toddler examples that he hopes 824 00:14:09,070 --> 00:14:09,080 to the toddler examples that he hopes 825 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:10,990 to the toddler examples that he hopes will bring an uneducated reader to his 826 00:14:10,990 --> 00:14:11,000 will bring an uneducated reader to his 827 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:12,950 will bring an uneducated reader to his side. We can hear Dembski explain this 828 00:14:12,950 --> 00:14:12,960 side. We can hear Dembski explain this 829 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:14,430 side. We can hear Dembski explain this stuff in person as well. So, the 830 00:14:14,430 --> 00:14:14,440 stuff in person as well. So, the 831 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,550 stuff in person as well. So, the complexity there is improbability, and 832 00:14:17,550 --> 00:14:17,560 complexity there is improbability, and 833 00:14:17,560 --> 00:14:19,990 complexity there is improbability, and we can think of that as 834 00:14:19,990 --> 00:14:20,000 we can think of that as 835 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,990 we can think of that as uh if I flip a coin 100 times, 836 00:14:22,990 --> 00:14:23,000 uh if I flip a coin 100 times, 837 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:24,750 uh if I flip a coin 100 times, uh the the improbability of that or the 838 00:14:24,750 --> 00:14:24,760 uh the the improbability of that or the 839 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,950 uh the the improbability of that or the probability is 1 over 2 to the 100. You 840 00:14:27,950 --> 00:14:27,960 probability is 1 over 2 to the 100. You 841 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:29,870 probability is 1 over 2 to the 100. You keep the the probabilities multiply 842 00:14:29,870 --> 00:14:29,880 keep the the probabilities multiply 843 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,150 keep the the probabilities multiply because coin flipping the individual 844 00:14:32,150 --> 00:14:32,160 because coin flipping the individual 845 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,350 because coin flipping the individual flips are independent of each other. 846 00:14:35,350 --> 00:14:35,360 flips are independent of each other. 847 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:36,910 flips are independent of each other. So, the thing is 848 00:14:36,910 --> 00:14:36,920 So, the thing is 849 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:41,070 So, the thing is that's 1 over 2 to the 100, that's about 850 00:14:41,070 --> 00:14:41,080 that's 1 over 2 to the 100, that's about 851 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,510 that's 1 over 2 to the 100, that's about 1 in 10 to the 30. Um you know, so very 852 00:14:44,510 --> 00:14:44,520 1 in 10 to the 30. Um you know, so very 853 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:48,990 1 in 10 to the 30. Um you know, so very small number, 1 in a trillion trillion 854 00:14:48,990 --> 00:14:49,000 small number, 1 in a trillion trillion 855 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,030 small number, 1 in a trillion trillion million, okay? 856 00:14:51,030 --> 00:14:51,040 million, okay? 857 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,950 million, okay? Uh but you can also 858 00:14:54,950 --> 00:14:54,960 Uh but you can also 859 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:55,710 Uh but you can also uh 860 00:14:55,710 --> 00:14:55,720 uh 861 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,550 uh think of it in terms of bits. How many 862 00:14:58,550 --> 00:14:58,560 think of it in terms of bits. How many 863 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,790 think of it in terms of bits. How many bits does it take to characterize that 864 00:15:00,790 --> 00:15:00,800 bits does it take to characterize that 865 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:02,310 bits does it take to characterize that sequence of coin tosses? It could be 866 00:15:02,310 --> 00:15:02,320 sequence of coin tosses? It could be 867 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,110 sequence of coin tosses? It could be head, tails, head, tails, you know, and 868 00:15:04,110 --> 00:15:04,120 head, tails, head, tails, you know, and 869 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,510 head, tails, head, tails, you know, and and so on. And so, if you let head be 870 00:15:06,510 --> 00:15:06,520 and so on. And so, if you let head be 871 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,550 and so on. And so, if you let head be one, tails be zero, then you can get a 872 00:15:09,550 --> 00:15:09,560 one, tails be zero, then you can get a 873 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,550 one, tails be zero, then you can get a sequence of length 100 that will carry 874 00:15:12,550 --> 00:15:12,560 sequence of length 100 that will carry 875 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,950 sequence of length 100 that will carry that will precisely identify this the 876 00:15:15,950 --> 00:15:15,960 that will precisely identify this the 877 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,870 that will precisely identify this the the the coin tosses. So, probabilities 878 00:15:19,870 --> 00:15:19,880 the the coin tosses. So, probabilities 879 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:23,630 the the coin tosses. So, probabilities and number of bits are directly related. 880 00:15:23,630 --> 00:15:23,640 and number of bits are directly related. 881 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,830 and number of bits are directly related. So, one in two to the 100 probability it 882 00:15:26,830 --> 00:15:26,840 So, one in two to the 100 probability it 883 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,390 So, one in two to the 100 probability it corresponds to 100 bits of information. 884 00:15:29,390 --> 00:15:29,400 corresponds to 100 bits of information. 885 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,630 corresponds to 100 bits of information. Okay, so we've got the crazy probability 886 00:15:31,630 --> 00:15:31,640 Okay, so we've got the crazy probability 887 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:33,430 Okay, so we've got the crazy probability numbers and we're defining bits of 888 00:15:33,430 --> 00:15:33,440 numbers and we're defining bits of 889 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,550 numbers and we're defining bits of information. Now, back to the blog post 890 00:15:35,550 --> 00:15:35,560 information. Now, back to the blog post 891 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:36,950 information. Now, back to the blog post where he applies this to letters and 892 00:15:36,950 --> 00:15:36,960 where he applies this to letters and 893 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,310 where he applies this to letters and words. Okay, we've got boat repeated a 894 00:15:39,310 --> 00:15:39,320 words. Okay, we've got boat repeated a 895 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,310 words. Okay, we've got boat repeated a bunch of times which is like a crystal, 896 00:15:41,310 --> 00:15:41,320 bunch of times which is like a crystal, 897 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,950 bunch of times which is like a crystal, specified simplicity. Random gibberish 898 00:15:43,950 --> 00:15:43,960 specified simplicity. Random gibberish 899 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:45,390 specified simplicity. Random gibberish which is like a random sequence of 900 00:15:45,390 --> 00:15:45,400 which is like a random sequence of 901 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,030 which is like a random sequence of monomers, unspecified simplicity. And 902 00:15:48,030 --> 00:15:48,040 monomers, unspecified simplicity. And 903 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:49,790 monomers, unspecified simplicity. And then a meaningful English sentence which 904 00:15:49,790 --> 00:15:49,800 then a meaningful English sentence which 905 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,190 then a meaningful English sentence which is like a gene, specified complexity. 906 00:15:52,190 --> 00:15:52,200 is like a gene, specified complexity. 907 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,110 is like a gene, specified complexity. These labels are reasonable. Nobody 908 00:15:54,110 --> 00:15:54,120 These labels are reasonable. Nobody 909 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:55,830 These labels are reasonable. Nobody disputes that repetition is different 910 00:15:55,830 --> 00:15:55,840 disputes that repetition is different 911 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:57,510 disputes that repetition is different from noise and both are different from a 912 00:15:57,510 --> 00:15:57,520 from noise and both are different from a 913 00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,390 from noise and both are different from a meaningful message. But here's the 914 00:15:59,390 --> 00:15:59,400 meaningful message. But here's the 915 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,550 meaningful message. But here's the problem, a meaningful English sentence 916 00:16:01,550 --> 00:16:01,560 problem, a meaningful English sentence 917 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,070 problem, a meaningful English sentence is meaningful because human beings use 918 00:16:04,070 --> 00:16:04,080 is meaningful because human beings use 919 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,550 is meaningful because human beings use language. That meaning exists in a 920 00:16:06,550 --> 00:16:06,560 language. That meaning exists in a 921 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,830 language. That meaning exists in a linguistic community with conventions, 922 00:16:08,830 --> 00:16:08,840 linguistic community with conventions, 923 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,950 linguistic community with conventions, intentions, grammar, and semantics. DNA 924 00:16:11,950 --> 00:16:11,960 intentions, grammar, and semantics. DNA 925 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:13,910 intentions, grammar, and semantics. DNA is not secretly English and it is not a 926 00:16:13,910 --> 00:16:13,920 is not secretly English and it is not a 927 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,510 is not secretly English and it is not a language. We use the letters ACTG to 928 00:16:16,510 --> 00:16:16,520 language. We use the letters ACTG to 929 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,590 language. We use the letters ACTG to represent nucleotides, but that's our 930 00:16:18,590 --> 00:16:18,600 represent nucleotides, but that's our 931 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,510 represent nucleotides, but that's our own human convention. You don't get to 932 00:16:20,510 --> 00:16:20,520 own human convention. You don't get to 933 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,510 own human convention. You don't get to say, "Hey, this thing can be represented 934 00:16:22,510 --> 00:16:22,520 say, "Hey, this thing can be represented 935 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,590 say, "Hey, this thing can be represented symbolically, therefore it must be mind 936 00:16:24,590 --> 00:16:24,600 symbolically, therefore it must be mind 937 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,070 symbolically, therefore it must be mind generated in the same way as a 938 00:16:26,070 --> 00:16:26,080 generated in the same way as a 939 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,910 generated in the same way as a sentence." That's ridiculous. The codon 940 00:16:28,910 --> 00:16:28,920 sentence." That's ridiculous. The codon 941 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,550 sentence." That's ridiculous. The codon anticodon basis for gene expression is 942 00:16:31,550 --> 00:16:31,560 anticodon basis for gene expression is 943 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,990 anticodon basis for gene expression is absolutely not as complex as the words 944 00:16:33,990 --> 00:16:34,000 absolutely not as complex as the words 945 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:35,829 absolutely not as complex as the words I'm speaking right now, nor does the 946 00:16:35,829 --> 00:16:35,839 I'm speaking right now, nor does the 947 00:16:35,839 --> 00:16:38,350 I'm speaking right now, nor does the former require a mind to come about just 948 00:16:38,350 --> 00:16:38,360 former require a mind to come about just 949 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,550 former require a mind to come about just like the latter so obviously does. 950 00:16:40,550 --> 00:16:40,560 like the latter so obviously does. 951 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,870 like the latter so obviously does. Dembski loves me so much that he brings 952 00:16:42,870 --> 00:16:42,880 Dembski loves me so much that he brings 953 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:44,829 Dembski loves me so much that he brings up my birthday analogy again to try to 954 00:16:44,829 --> 00:16:44,839 up my birthday analogy again to try to 955 00:16:44,839 --> 00:16:46,870 up my birthday analogy again to try to strengthen his position. The birthdays 956 00:16:46,870 --> 00:16:46,880 strengthen his position. The birthdays 957 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,110 strengthen his position. The birthdays are unspecified. It would only work if 958 00:16:49,110 --> 00:16:49,120 are unspecified. It would only work if 959 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:50,430 are unspecified. It would only work if all the birthdays were something 960 00:16:50,430 --> 00:16:50,440 all the birthdays were something 961 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,270 all the birthdays were something specific like January 1st. This is 962 00:16:53,270 --> 00:16:53,280 specific like January 1st. This is 963 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,670 specific like January 1st. This is idiotic. That date is no more specific 964 00:16:55,670 --> 00:16:55,680 idiotic. That date is no more specific 965 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,829 idiotic. That date is no more specific than any other and no series of birth 966 00:16:57,829 --> 00:16:57,839 than any other and no series of birth 967 00:16:57,839 --> 00:17:00,190 than any other and no series of birth dates are any more special or privileged 968 00:17:00,190 --> 00:17:00,200 dates are any more special or privileged 969 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,550 dates are any more special or privileged or complex than any other. Just like no 970 00:17:02,550 --> 00:17:02,560 or complex than any other. Just like no 971 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,230 or complex than any other. Just like no amino acid sequence is inherently 972 00:17:04,230 --> 00:17:04,240 amino acid sequence is inherently 973 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,829 amino acid sequence is inherently special, nor would 100 glycines in a row 974 00:17:06,829 --> 00:17:06,839 special, nor would 100 glycines in a row 975 00:17:06,839 --> 00:17:08,870 special, nor would 100 glycines in a row guarantee function like his meaningless 976 00:17:08,870 --> 00:17:08,880 guarantee function like his meaningless 977 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,390 guarantee function like his meaningless series of January 1sts. The birthdays 978 00:17:11,390 --> 00:17:11,400 series of January 1sts. The birthdays 979 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,150 series of January 1sts. The birthdays are arbitrary just like what I was 980 00:17:13,150 --> 00:17:13,160 are arbitrary just like what I was 981 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,270 are arbitrary just like what I was specifically comparing them to, the odds 982 00:17:15,270 --> 00:17:15,280 specifically comparing them to, the odds 983 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,230 specifically comparing them to, the odds of getting a specific sequence of amino 984 00:17:17,230 --> 00:17:17,240 of getting a specific sequence of amino 985 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,550 of getting a specific sequence of amino acids, no matter what it is. He is very 986 00:17:19,550 --> 00:17:19,560 acids, no matter what it is. He is very 987 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,550 acids, no matter what it is. He is very clearly trying to insert the concept of 988 00:17:21,550 --> 00:17:21,560 clearly trying to insert the concept of 989 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,990 clearly trying to insert the concept of biopolymer function, which has nothing 990 00:17:23,990 --> 00:17:24,000 biopolymer function, which has nothing 991 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,870 biopolymer function, which has nothing to do with what I was talking about, and 992 00:17:25,870 --> 00:17:25,880 to do with what I was talking about, and 993 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:27,390 to do with what I was talking about, and would make the analogy fall apart 994 00:17:27,390 --> 00:17:27,400 would make the analogy fall apart 995 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,270 would make the analogy fall apart anyway, since no specific set of 996 00:17:29,270 --> 00:17:29,280 anyway, since no specific set of 997 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:30,830 anyway, since no specific set of birthdays would serve any inherent 998 00:17:30,830 --> 00:17:30,840 birthdays would serve any inherent 999 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:32,550 birthdays would serve any inherent function. If he doesn't like the world 1000 00:17:32,550 --> 00:17:32,560 function. If he doesn't like the world 1001 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,350 function. If he doesn't like the world of analogy, he would have to actually 1002 00:17:34,350 --> 00:17:34,360 of analogy, he would have to actually 1003 00:17:34,360 --> 00:17:36,590 of analogy, he would have to actually discuss molecular evolution and how 1004 00:17:36,590 --> 00:17:36,600 discuss molecular evolution and how 1005 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,870 discuss molecular evolution and how specific sequences can both come to be 1006 00:17:38,870 --> 00:17:38,880 specific sequences can both come to be 1007 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:40,670 specific sequences can both come to be and proliferate in a statistically 1008 00:17:40,670 --> 00:17:40,680 and proliferate in a statistically 1009 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,950 and proliferate in a statistically significant way. But, that's a big no-no 1010 00:17:42,950 --> 00:17:42,960 significant way. But, that's a big no-no 1011 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:44,830 significant way. But, that's a big no-no for the ID camp. They don't like to 1012 00:17:44,830 --> 00:17:44,840 for the ID camp. They don't like to 1013 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:46,230 for the ID camp. They don't like to admit that molecules can evolve by 1014 00:17:46,230 --> 00:17:46,240 admit that molecules can evolve by 1015 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,070 admit that molecules can evolve by natural selection, a thing that we have 1016 00:17:48,070 --> 00:17:48,080 natural selection, a thing that we have 1017 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:49,870 natural selection, a thing that we have physically observed for several decades 1018 00:17:49,870 --> 00:17:49,880 physically observed for several decades 1019 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:51,950 physically observed for several decades now. This should all be relatively easy 1020 00:17:51,950 --> 00:17:51,960 now. This should all be relatively easy 1021 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,070 now. This should all be relatively easy to understand, but Demski deliberately 1022 00:17:54,070 --> 00:17:54,080 to understand, but Demski deliberately 1023 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:55,790 to understand, but Demski deliberately tries to make it harder to understand 1024 00:17:55,790 --> 00:17:55,800 tries to make it harder to understand 1025 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,830 tries to make it harder to understand with math and jargon to confuse the 1026 00:17:57,830 --> 00:17:57,840 with math and jargon to confuse the 1027 00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:59,390 with math and jargon to confuse the reader into thinking he's smart and 1028 00:17:59,390 --> 00:17:59,400 reader into thinking he's smart and 1029 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,150 reader into thinking he's smart and therefore probably right. So, let's 1030 00:18:01,150 --> 00:18:01,160 therefore probably right. So, let's 1031 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:02,910 therefore probably right. So, let's debunk his obfuscation by over 1032 00:18:02,910 --> 00:18:02,920 debunk his obfuscation by over 1033 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:04,910 debunk his obfuscation by over intellectualization. To do so, we can 1034 00:18:04,910 --> 00:18:04,920 intellectualization. To do so, we can 1035 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:06,270 intellectualization. To do so, we can get a little help from an even more 1036 00:18:06,270 --> 00:18:06,280 get a little help from an even more 1037 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,550 get a little help from an even more pointless loser apologist, good old 1038 00:18:08,550 --> 00:18:08,560 pointless loser apologist, good old 1039 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,670 pointless loser apologist, good old Aaron boy Jonathan McLatchie. You 1040 00:18:10,670 --> 00:18:10,680 Aaron boy Jonathan McLatchie. You 1041 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:12,190 Aaron boy Jonathan McLatchie. You remember him, right? The guy who 1042 00:18:12,190 --> 00:18:12,200 remember him, right? The guy who 1043 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:13,950 remember him, right? The guy who hallucinated a fake Twitter debate with 1044 00:18:13,950 --> 00:18:13,960 hallucinated a fake Twitter debate with 1045 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,510 hallucinated a fake Twitter debate with me. Let's watch. So, to take um an an 1046 00:18:16,510 --> 00:18:16,520 me. Let's watch. So, to take um an an 1047 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,070 me. Let's watch. So, to take um an an illustration, take an ATM machine. And 1048 00:18:19,070 --> 00:18:19,080 illustration, take an ATM machine. And 1049 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,190 illustration, take an ATM machine. And you put your bank card into ATM machine, 1050 00:18:21,190 --> 00:18:21,200 you put your bank card into ATM machine, 1051 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:22,590 you put your bank card into ATM machine, and you have to dial four-digit PIN 1052 00:18:22,590 --> 00:18:22,600 and you have to dial four-digit PIN 1053 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:23,830 and you have to dial four-digit PIN number. 1054 00:18:23,830 --> 00:18:23,840 number. 1055 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:25,430 number. And there's only one PIN number which is 1056 00:18:25,430 --> 00:18:25,440 And there's only one PIN number which is 1057 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,630 And there's only one PIN number which is specific to your bank card out of a out 1058 00:18:27,630 --> 00:18:27,640 specific to your bank card out of a out 1059 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,230 specific to your bank card out of a out of a combinatorial space, if you will, 1060 00:18:29,230 --> 00:18:29,240 of a combinatorial space, if you will, 1061 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,230 of a combinatorial space, if you will, of 10,000 ways of dialing a four-digit 1062 00:18:31,230 --> 00:18:31,240 of 10,000 ways of dialing a four-digit 1063 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:32,310 of 10,000 ways of dialing a four-digit number. 1064 00:18:32,310 --> 00:18:32,320 number. 1065 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:33,790 number. Um so, if you only have three attempts 1066 00:18:33,790 --> 00:18:33,800 Um so, if you only have three attempts 1067 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:35,070 Um so, if you only have three attempts before the bank locks you out of your 1068 00:18:35,070 --> 00:18:35,080 before the bank locks you out of your 1069 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,870 before the bank locks you out of your account, then the chances of you 1070 00:18:37,870 --> 00:18:37,880 account, then the chances of you 1071 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:39,390 account, then the chances of you stumbling upon the correct PIN number by 1072 00:18:39,390 --> 00:18:39,400 stumbling upon the correct PIN number by 1073 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,110 stumbling upon the correct PIN number by chance um is very, very small. Oh my 1074 00:18:42,110 --> 00:18:42,120 chance um is very, very small. Oh my 1075 00:18:42,120 --> 00:18:44,030 chance um is very, very small. Oh my gosh, you choose a PIN number for the 1076 00:18:44,030 --> 00:18:44,040 gosh, you choose a PIN number for the 1077 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,110 gosh, you choose a PIN number for the ATM, and you have to get it right to get 1078 00:18:46,110 --> 00:18:46,120 ATM, and you have to get it right to get 1079 00:18:46,120 --> 00:18:48,270 ATM, and you have to get it right to get the money. Therefore, DNA is a code from 1080 00:18:48,270 --> 00:18:48,280 the money. Therefore, DNA is a code from 1081 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,590 the money. Therefore, DNA is a code from God. That's what these morons come to 1082 00:18:50,590 --> 00:18:50,600 God. That's what these morons come to 1083 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:52,470 God.

And if you take a a protein residue of 1112 00:19:17,870 --> 00:19:17,880 And if you take a a protein residue of 1113 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,030 And if you take a a protein residue of 150 amino acids long, you can ask, out 1114 00:19:20,030 --> 00:19:20,040 150 amino acids long, you can ask, out 1115 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:21,630 150 amino acids long, you can ask, out of all these, and there's 20 to the 1116 00:19:21,630 --> 00:19:21,640 of all these, and there's 20 to the 1117 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,350 of all these, and there's 20 to the 150th power of possible ways of 1118 00:19:23,350 --> 00:19:23,360 150th power of possible ways of 1119 00:19:23,360 --> 00:19:24,590 150th power of possible ways of arranging these amino acids, and out of 1120 00:19:24,590 --> 00:19:24,600 arranging these amino acids, and out of 1121 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:26,190 arranging these amino acids, and out of all these possibilities, how many are 1122 00:19:26,190 --> 00:19:26,200 all these possibilities, how many are 1123 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:27,550 all these possibilities, how many are functional? How many are gibberish? And 1124 00:19:27,550 --> 00:19:27,560 functional? How many are gibberish? And 1125 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,350 functional? How many are gibberish? And it turns out that the prevalence of 1126 00:19:29,350 --> 00:19:29,360 it turns out that the prevalence of 1127 00:19:29,360 --> 00:19:31,030 it turns out that the prevalence of functional stable protein folds is 1128 00:19:31,030 --> 00:19:31,040 functional stable protein folds is 1129 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:32,470 functional stable protein folds is astronomically small within this 1130 00:19:32,470 --> 00:19:32,480 astronomically small within this 1131 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,190 astronomically small within this combinatorial [music] space. 1132 00:19:34,190 --> 00:19:34,200 combinatorial [music] space. 1133 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,270 combinatorial [music] space. And it would argue exhaust the probably 1134 00:19:36,270 --> 00:19:36,280 And it would argue exhaust the probably 1135 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:37,670 And it would argue exhaust the probably probabilistic resources at one's 1136 00:19:37,670 --> 00:19:37,680 probabilistic resources at one's 1137 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,510 probabilistic resources at one's disposal, and it conforms to the 1138 00:19:39,510 --> 00:19:39,520 disposal, and it conforms to the 1139 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,550 disposal, and it conforms to the independent like given pattern of 1140 00:19:41,550 --> 00:19:41,560 independent like given pattern of 1141 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,990 independent like given pattern of specifying what you need for specific 1142 00:19:43,990 --> 00:19:44,000 specifying what you need for specific 1143 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:45,790 specifying what you need for specific protein functions. So, that's what we 1144 00:19:45,790 --> 00:19:45,800 protein functions. So, that's what we 1145 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,030 protein functions. So, that's what we mean by specified complexity. 1146 00:19:49,030 --> 00:19:49,040 mean by specified complexity. 1147 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,350 mean by specified complexity. Right, except that's not true at all. 1148 00:19:51,350 --> 00:19:51,360 Right, except that's not true at all. 1149 00:19:51,360 --> 00:19:53,430 Right, except that's not true at all. All of these clowns just blindly assert 1150 00:19:53,430 --> 00:19:53,440 All of these clowns just blindly assert 1151 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,230 All of these clowns just blindly assert it. First of all, he pretends that most 1152 00:19:55,230 --> 00:19:55,240 it. First of all, he pretends that most 1153 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,590 it. First of all, he pretends that most proteins would somehow be unstable. 1154 00:19:57,590 --> 00:19:57,600 proteins would somehow be unstable. 1155 00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,990 proteins would somehow be unstable. That's insane. Virtually any sequence 1156 00:19:59,990 --> 00:20:00,000 That's insane. Virtually any sequence 1157 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,190 That's insane. Virtually any sequence would be stable. There is no amino acid 1158 00:20:02,190 --> 00:20:02,200 would be stable. There is no amino acid 1159 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:03,950 would be stable. There is no amino acid sequence that just falls apart for no 1160 00:20:03,950 --> 00:20:03,960 sequence that just falls apart for no 1161 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,390 sequence that just falls apart for no reason. The question is function. It's 1162 00:20:06,390 --> 00:20:06,400 reason. The question is function. It's 1163 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,190 reason. The question is function. It's certainly true that not just any old 1164 00:20:08,190 --> 00:20:08,200 certainly true that not just any old 1165 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:09,950 certainly true that not just any old sequence will exhibit function, but 1166 00:20:09,950 --> 00:20:09,960 sequence will exhibit function, but 1167 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:11,830 sequence will exhibit function, but plenty of research has been done to 1168 00:20:11,830 --> 00:20:11,840 plenty of research has been done to 1169 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:13,390 plenty of research has been done to determine what fraction of potential 1170 00:20:13,390 --> 00:20:13,400 determine what fraction of potential 1171 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,470 determine what fraction of potential sequences of a given length will exhibit 1172 00:20:15,470 --> 00:20:15,480 sequences of a given length will exhibit 1173 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,590 sequences of a given length will exhibit function, and it's not astronomically 1174 00:20:17,590 --> 00:20:17,600 function, and it's not astronomically 1175 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:19,870 function, and it's not astronomically low at all. It could be as many as one 1176 00:20:19,870 --> 00:20:19,880 low at all. It could be as many as one 1177 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:21,830 low at all. It could be as many as one in a million, even when considering a 1178 00:20:21,830 --> 00:20:21,840 in a million, even when considering a 1179 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,350 in a million, even when considering a highly specific individual function, 1180 00:20:24,350 --> 00:20:24,360 highly specific individual function, 1181 00:20:24,360 --> 00:20:27,350 highly specific individual function, like binding ATP. Jack Szostak showed 1182 00:20:27,350 --> 00:20:27,360 like binding ATP. Jack Szostak showed 1183 00:20:27,360 --> 00:20:29,310 like binding ATP. Jack Szostak showed that at the very least one in a trillion 1184 00:20:29,310 --> 00:20:29,320 that at the very least one in a trillion 1185 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,110 that at the very least one in a trillion sequences of 80 amino acids will do 1186 00:20:31,110 --> 00:20:31,120 sequences of 80 amino acids will do 1187 00:20:31,120 --> 00:20:33,350 sequences of 80 amino acids will do this. Again, that's one specific 1188 00:20:33,350 --> 00:20:33,360 this. Again, that's one specific 1189 00:20:33,360 --> 00:20:35,030 this. Again, that's one specific function out of countless possible 1190 00:20:35,030 --> 00:20:35,040 function out of countless possible 1191 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,350 function out of countless possible functions. And while one in a trillion 1192 00:20:37,350 --> 00:20:37,360 functions. And while one in a trillion 1193 00:20:37,360 --> 00:20:38,990 functions. And while one in a trillion sounds pretty low, remember that 1194 00:20:38,990 --> 00:20:39,000 sounds pretty low, remember that 1195 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,390 sounds pretty low, remember that molecules are very tiny, and chemical 1196 00:20:41,390 --> 00:20:41,400 molecules are very tiny, and chemical 1197 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,950 molecules are very tiny, and chemical reactions are very fast. For nature to 1198 00:20:43,950 --> 00:20:43,960 reactions are very fast. For nature to 1199 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,390 reactions are very fast. For nature to make a trillion polypeptides is trivial. 1200 00:20:46,390 --> 00:20:46,400 make a trillion polypeptides is trivial. 1201 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,310 make a trillion polypeptides is trivial. It's just a matter of stumbling upon a 1202 00:20:48,310 --> 00:20:48,320 It's just a matter of stumbling upon a 1203 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,150 It's just a matter of stumbling upon a sequence that does something, and then 1204 00:20:50,150 --> 00:20:50,160 sequence that does something, and then 1205 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,310 sequence that does something, and then that sequence can be refined over time. 1206 00:20:52,310 --> 00:20:52,320 that sequence can be refined over time. 1207 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:53,990 that sequence can be refined over time. But don't worry, there's more jargon to 1208 00:20:53,990 --> 00:20:54,000 But don't worry, there's more jargon to 1209 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:55,950 But don't worry, there's more jargon to get through. He's super smart, remember? 1210 00:20:55,950 --> 00:20:55,960 get through. He's super smart, remember? 1211 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:57,790 get through. He's super smart, remember? Dembski is always talking about things 1212 00:20:57,790 --> 00:20:57,800 Dembski is always talking about things 1213 00:20:57,800 --> 00:20:59,750 Dembski is always talking about things called Shannon information and 1214 00:20:59,750 --> 00:20:59,760 called Shannon information and 1215 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:01,870 called Shannon information and Kolmogorov information. Sounds pretty 1216 00:21:01,870 --> 00:21:01,880 Kolmogorov information. Sounds pretty 1217 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,310 Kolmogorov information. Sounds pretty technical and sexy, no? He clearly knows 1218 00:21:04,310 --> 00:21:04,320 technical and sexy, no? He clearly knows 1219 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:05,870 technical and sexy, no? He clearly knows more than you do, so stop asking 1220 00:21:05,870 --> 00:21:05,880 more than you do, so stop asking 1221 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,070 more than you do, so stop asking questions and just trust him. Well, not 1222 00:21:08,070 --> 00:21:08,080 questions and just trust him. Well, not 1223 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,270 questions and just trust him. Well, not today. Since these are real terms, let's 1224 00:21:10,270 --> 00:21:10,280 today. Since these are real terms, let's 1225 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,590 today. Since these are real terms, let's define them in order to then debunk him. 1226 00:21:12,590 --> 00:21:12,600 define them in order to then debunk him. 1227 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:13,990 define them in order to then debunk him. Shannon information is about 1228 00:21:13,990 --> 00:21:14,000 Shannon information is about 1229 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:15,990 Shannon information is about probability. The less likely an event 1230 00:21:15,990 --> 00:21:16,000 probability. The less likely an event 1231 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:17,990 probability. The less likely an event is, the more information it carries. So, 1232 00:21:17,990 --> 00:21:18,000 is, the more information it carries. So, 1233 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,030 is, the more information it carries. So, if I tell you the sun rose this morning, 1234 00:21:20,030 --> 00:21:20,040 if I tell you the sun rose this morning, 1235 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:21,590 if I tell you the sun rose this morning, that conveys very little Shannon 1236 00:21:21,590 --> 00:21:21,600 that conveys very little Shannon 1237 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:23,830 that conveys very little Shannon information because it was expected. If 1238 00:21:23,830 --> 00:21:23,840 information because it was expected. If 1239 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:25,230 information because it was expected. If I tell you it started snowing in the 1240 00:21:25,230 --> 00:21:25,240 I tell you it started snowing in the 1241 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,110 I tell you it started snowing in the Sahara, that carries more Shannon 1242 00:21:27,110 --> 00:21:27,120 Sahara, that carries more Shannon 1243 00:21:27,120 --> 00:21:28,910 Sahara, that carries more Shannon information because it is far less 1244 00:21:28,910 --> 00:21:28,920 information because it is far less 1245 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,070 information because it is far less likely. Kolmogorov information or 1246 00:21:31,070 --> 00:21:31,080 likely. Kolmogorov information or 1247 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,270 likely. Kolmogorov information or complexity is different. This is about 1248 00:21:33,270 --> 00:21:33,280 complexity is different. This is about 1249 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,030 complexity is different. This is about how short or long the simplest 1250 00:21:35,030 --> 00:21:35,040 how short or long the simplest 1251 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:36,550 how short or long the simplest description of something can be. A 1252 00:21:36,550 --> 00:21:36,560 description of something can be. A 1253 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:40,030 description of something can be. A string of characters like A A A A A A A 1254 00:21:40,030 --> 00:21:40,040 string of characters like A A A A A A A 1255 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,710 string of characters like A A A A A A A A has low Kolmogorov complexity because 1256 00:21:42,710 --> 00:21:42,720 A has low Kolmogorov complexity because 1257 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:44,550 A has low Kolmogorov complexity because you can describe it very briefly by 1258 00:21:44,550 --> 00:21:44,560 you can describe it very briefly by 1259 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,590 you can describe it very briefly by saying it's just eight A's. But, a 1260 00:21:46,590 --> 00:21:46,600 saying it's just eight A's. But, a 1261 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,910 saying it's just eight A's. But, a string like Q7L9X2MP 1262 00:21:49,910 --> 00:21:49,920 string like Q7L9X2MP 1263 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:51,870 string like Q7L9X2MP looks much more random. So, the shortest 1264 00:21:51,870 --> 00:21:51,880 looks much more random. So, the shortest 1265 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:53,830 looks much more random. So, the shortest description is the string itself, which 1266 00:21:53,830 --> 00:21:53,840 description is the string itself, which 1267 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:55,270 description is the string itself, which means it has higher Kolmogorov 1268 00:21:55,270 --> 00:21:55,280 means it has higher Kolmogorov 1269 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,470 means it has higher Kolmogorov complexity. Shannon information comes 1270 00:21:57,470 --> 00:21:57,480 complexity. Shannon information comes 1271 00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,310 complexity. Shannon information comes from Claude Shannon's information theory 1272 00:21:59,310 --> 00:21:59,320 from Claude Shannon's information theory 1273 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,390 from Claude Shannon's information theory in the 1940s, where the goal was to 1274 00:22:01,390 --> 00:22:01,400 in the 1940s, where the goal was to 1275 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,510 in the 1940s, where the goal was to study communication and uncertainty. 1276 00:22:03,510 --> 00:22:03,520 study communication and uncertainty. 1277 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,350 study communication and uncertainty. Kolmogorov information comes from 1278 00:22:05,350 --> 00:22:05,360 Kolmogorov information comes from 1279 00:22:05,360 --> 00:22:07,030 Kolmogorov information comes from algorithmic information theory in the 1280 00:22:07,030 --> 00:22:07,040 algorithmic information theory in the 1281 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,390 algorithmic information theory in the 1960s, especially the work of Andrei 1282 00:22:09,390 --> 00:22:09,400 1960s, especially the work of Andrei 1283 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,510 1960s, especially the work of Andrei Kolmogorov, and it asks how short the 1284 00:22:11,510 --> 00:22:11,520 Kolmogorov, and it asks how short the 1285 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:12,950 Kolmogorov, and it asks how short the simplest description of something can 1286 00:22:12,950 --> 00:22:12,960 simplest description of something can 1287 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,430 simplest description of something can be. Again, these are real ideas. Nobody 1288 00:22:15,430 --> 00:22:15,440 be. Again, these are real ideas. Nobody 1289 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,470 be. Again, these are real ideas. Nobody disputes that. What is absolutely not 1290 00:22:17,470 --> 00:22:17,480 disputes that. What is absolutely not 1291 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,550 disputes that. What is absolutely not established is what Demski does with 1292 00:22:19,550 --> 00:22:19,560 established is what Demski does with 1293 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,590 established is what Demski does with them. He proposes the spurious 1294 00:22:21,590 --> 00:22:21,600 them. He proposes the spurious 1295 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,910 them. He proposes the spurious mathematical relationship of specified 1296 00:22:23,910 --> 00:22:23,920 mathematical relationship of specified 1297 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,070 mathematical relationship of specified complexity being equal to Shannon 1298 00:22:26,070 --> 00:22:26,080 complexity being equal to Shannon 1299 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,030 complexity being equal to Shannon information minus Kolmogorov 1300 00:22:28,030 --> 00:22:28,040 information minus Kolmogorov 1301 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,030 information minus Kolmogorov information. And this is an equation 1302 00:22:30,030 --> 00:22:30,040 information. And this is an equation 1303 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,190 information. And this is an equation that points to intelligent design. So, 1304 00:22:32,190 --> 00:22:32,200 that points to intelligent design. So, 1305 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,350 that points to intelligent design. So, he is claiming that taking one minus the 1306 00:22:34,350 --> 00:22:34,360 he is claiming that taking one minus the 1307 00:22:34,360 --> 00:22:36,590 he is claiming that taking one minus the other gives you some universal detector 1308 00:22:36,590 --> 00:22:36,600 other gives you some universal detector 1309 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,670 other gives you some universal detector for intelligent design in biology. 1310 00:22:38,670 --> 00:22:38,680 for intelligent design in biology. 1311 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:40,710 for intelligent design in biology. That's the huge leap in a nutshell. 1312 00:22:40,710 --> 00:22:40,720 That's the huge leap in a nutshell. 1313 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,270 That's the huge leap in a nutshell. First off, the whole idea is a 1314 00:22:42,270 --> 00:22:42,280 First off, the whole idea is a 1315 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,750 First off, the whole idea is a non-starter. Kolmogorov complexity is 1316 00:22:44,750 --> 00:22:44,760 non-starter. Kolmogorov complexity is 1317 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:46,430 non-starter. Kolmogorov complexity is not something you can generally compute 1318 00:22:46,430 --> 00:22:46,440 not something you can generally compute 1319 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,510 not something you can generally compute exactly, and the probability model you 1320 00:22:48,510 --> 00:22:48,520 exactly, and the probability model you 1321 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,430 exactly, and the probability model you choose is doing all the heavy lifting. 1322 00:22:50,430 --> 00:22:50,440 choose is doing all the heavy lifting. 1323 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:51,990 choose is doing all the heavy lifting. So, when Bill presents this as some 1324 00:22:51,990 --> 00:22:52,000 So, when Bill presents this as some 1325 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,390 So, when Bill presents this as some clean objective metric that design just 1326 00:22:54,390 --> 00:22:54,400 clean objective metric that design just 1327 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,670 clean objective metric that design just pops out of, that's nonsense, or more 1328 00:22:56,670 --> 00:22:56,680 pops out of, that's nonsense, or more 1329 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:58,790 pops out of, that's nonsense, or more accurately, propaganda. But, let's get 1330 00:22:58,790 --> 00:22:58,800 accurately, propaganda. But, let's get 1331 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,150 accurately, propaganda. But, let's get to the mushiest part, specification. 1332 00:23:01,150 --> 00:23:01,160 to the mushiest part, specification. 1333 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,190 to the mushiest part, specification. Bill wants a specification to be some 1334 00:23:03,190 --> 00:23:03,200 Bill wants a specification to be some 1335 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,790 Bill wants a specification to be some short description, some salient pattern, 1336 00:23:05,790 --> 00:23:05,800 short description, some salient pattern, 1337 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,630 short description, some salient pattern, but short according to what language? 1338 00:23:07,630 --> 00:23:07,640 but short according to what language? 1339 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,470 but short according to what language? Salient to whom? Chosen when? Before the 1340 00:23:10,470 --> 00:23:10,480 Salient to whom? Chosen when? Before the 1341 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,350 Salient to whom? Chosen when? Before the event or after it? Because if you get to 1342 00:23:12,350 --> 00:23:12,360 event or after it? Because if you get to 1343 00:23:12,360 --> 00:23:13,790 event or after it? Because if you get to look at the outcome first and then 1344 00:23:13,790 --> 00:23:13,800 look at the outcome first and then 1345 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:15,870 look at the outcome first and then invent a cute short description for it, 1346 00:23:15,870 --> 00:23:15,880 invent a cute short description for it, 1347 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:17,430 invent a cute short description for it, you can make all kinds of things look 1348 00:23:17,430 --> 00:23:17,440 you can make all kinds of things look 1349 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,910 you can make all kinds of things look spooky. Humans do this constantly. We 1350 00:23:19,910 --> 00:23:19,920 spooky. Humans do this constantly. We 1351 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,510 spooky. Humans do this constantly. We see shapes in clouds, faces on Mars, 1352 00:23:22,510 --> 00:23:22,520 see shapes in clouds, faces on Mars, 1353 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,270 see shapes in clouds, faces on Mars, lucky streaks, hidden messages, 1354 00:23:24,270 --> 00:23:24,280 lucky streaks, hidden messages, 1355 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,510 lucky streaks, hidden messages, conspiracies. This is why genuine 1356 00:23:26,510 --> 00:23:26,520 conspiracies. This is why genuine 1357 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:28,750 conspiracies. This is why genuine statistical reasoning is fixated on 1358 00:23:28,750 --> 00:23:28,760 statistical reasoning is fixated on 1359 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:30,590 statistical reasoning is fixated on avoiding post hoc pattern fishing. 1360 00:23:30,590 --> 00:23:30,600 avoiding post hoc pattern fishing. 1361 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,390 avoiding post hoc pattern fishing. Dembski talks as if any event with a 1362 00:23:32,390 --> 00:23:32,400 Dembski talks as if any event with a 1363 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,190 Dembski talks as if any event with a neat little label suddenly defeats 1364 00:23:34,190 --> 00:23:34,200 neat little label suddenly defeats 1365 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,630 neat little label suddenly defeats chance. No, it doesn't. Not unless the 1366 00:23:36,630 --> 00:23:36,640 chance. No, it doesn't. Not unless the 1367 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,070 chance. No, it doesn't. Not unless the specification is independently justified 1368 00:23:39,070 --> 00:23:39,080 specification is independently justified 1369 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:40,910 specification is independently justified in advance, and even then you still need 1370 00:23:40,910 --> 00:23:40,920 in advance, and even then you still need 1371 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,190 in advance, and even then you still need the right probabilistic model. As usual, 1372 00:23:43,190 --> 00:23:43,200 the right probabilistic model. As usual, 1373 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,470 the right probabilistic model. As usual, Dembski has cute little examples meant 1374 00:23:45,470 --> 00:23:45,480 Dembski has cute little examples meant 1375 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:46,830 Dembski has cute little examples meant to convince his science-illiterate 1376 00:23:46,830 --> 00:23:46,840 to convince his science-illiterate 1377 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:48,230 to convince his science-illiterate targets that they understand what he's 1378 00:23:48,230 --> 00:23:48,240 targets that they understand what he's 1379 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,350 targets that they understand what he's talking about. Namely, Mount Rushmore 1380 00:23:50,350 --> 00:23:50,360 talking about. Namely, Mount Rushmore 1381 00:23:50,360 --> 00:23:52,470 talking about. Namely, Mount Rushmore with carved faces in rock and poker, 1382 00:23:52,470 --> 00:23:52,480 with carved faces in rock and poker, 1383 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,350 with carved faces in rock and poker, which can involve cheating. Bill loves 1384 00:23:54,350 --> 00:23:54,360 which can involve cheating. Bill loves 1385 00:23:54,360 --> 00:23:55,950 which can involve cheating. Bill loves these examples because they're already 1386 00:23:55,950 --> 00:23:55,960 these examples because they're already 1387 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,390 these examples because they're already soaked in human intentionality. Poker is 1388 00:23:58,390 --> 00:23:58,400 soaked in human intentionality. Poker is 1389 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,790 soaked in human intentionality. Poker is a game designed by humans. Cheating is 1390 00:24:00,790 --> 00:24:00,800 a game designed by humans. Cheating is 1391 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:02,710 a game designed by humans. Cheating is done by humans. Mount Rushmore was 1392 00:24:02,710 --> 00:24:02,720 done by humans. Mount Rushmore was 1393 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:04,910 done by humans. Mount Rushmore was carved by humans and has human faces on 1394 00:24:04,910 --> 00:24:04,920 carved by humans and has human faces on 1395 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,030 carved by humans and has human faces on it. Amazing. And now he wants you to 1396 00:24:07,030 --> 00:24:07,040 it. Amazing. And now he wants you to 1397 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,390 it. Amazing. And now he wants you to slide from those examples directly into 1398 00:24:09,390 --> 00:24:09,400 slide from those examples directly into 1399 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,910 slide from those examples directly into proteins and genomes as though the logic 1400 00:24:11,910 --> 00:24:11,920 proteins and genomes as though the logic 1401 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,390 proteins and genomes as though the logic transfers automatically. It doesn't. In 1402 00:24:14,390 --> 00:24:14,400 transfers automatically. It doesn't. In 1403 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,550 transfers automatically. It doesn't. In archaeology or forensics, you infer 1404 00:24:16,550 --> 00:24:16,560 archaeology or forensics, you infer 1405 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,230 archaeology or forensics, you infer design because you already know that 1406 00:24:18,230 --> 00:24:18,240 design because you already know that 1407 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,270 design because you already know that minds exist in the causal environment, 1408 00:24:20,270 --> 00:24:20,280 minds exist in the causal environment, 1409 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:21,790 minds exist in the causal environment, and you have independent knowledge of 1410 00:24:21,790 --> 00:24:21,800 and you have independent knowledge of 1411 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,110 and you have independent knowledge of what minds do. In biology, the causal 1412 00:24:24,110 --> 00:24:24,120 what minds do. In biology, the causal 1413 00:24:24,120 --> 00:24:26,510 what minds do. In biology, the causal environment includes evolution, a blind 1414 00:24:26,510 --> 00:24:26,520 environment includes evolution, a blind 1415 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,910 environment includes evolution, a blind naturalistic process. So you don't get 1416 00:24:28,910 --> 00:24:28,920 naturalistic process. So you don't get 1417 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,550 naturalistic process. So you don't get to ignore mutation, selection, drift, 1418 00:24:31,550 --> 00:24:31,560 to ignore mutation, selection, drift, 1419 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,430 to ignore mutation, selection, drift, and deep time and then baselessly 1420 00:24:33,430 --> 00:24:33,440 and deep time and then baselessly 1421 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,110 and deep time and then baselessly announce that chance failed. That's 1422 00:24:35,110 --> 00:24:35,120 announce that chance failed. That's 1423 00:24:35,120 --> 00:24:37,590 announce that chance failed. That's ignoring the entire process. To be 1424 00:24:37,590 --> 00:24:37,600 ignoring the entire process. To be 1425 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:39,350 ignoring the entire process. To be clear, this is the tactic you have to 1426 00:24:39,350 --> 00:24:39,360 clear, this is the tactic you have to 1427 00:24:39,360 --> 00:24:41,670 clear, this is the tactic you have to catch every time. Bill says chance can't 1428 00:24:41,670 --> 00:24:41,680 catch every time. Bill says chance can't 1429 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,590 catch every time. Bill says chance can't do it, therefore intelligence. But 1430 00:24:43,590 --> 00:24:43,600 do it, therefore intelligence. But 1431 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,550 do it, therefore intelligence. But evolution is not just chance. It never 1432 00:24:45,550 --> 00:24:45,560 evolution is not just chance. It never 1433 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,790 evolution is not just chance. It never was. Selection is non-random. Lineages 1434 00:24:48,790 --> 00:24:48,800 was. Selection is non-random. Lineages 1435 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,230 was. Selection is non-random. Lineages accumulate changes step-by-step. So when 1436 00:24:51,230 --> 00:24:51,240 accumulate changes step-by-step. So when 1437 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,030 accumulate changes step-by-step. So when Dembski frames the issue as random 1438 00:24:53,030 --> 00:24:53,040 Dembski frames the issue as random 1439 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,070 Dembski frames the issue as random assembly versus design, he is not 1440 00:24:55,070 --> 00:24:55,080 assembly versus design, he is not 1441 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,390 assembly versus design, he is not refuting evolution.

It's the 1444 00:24:59,390 --> 00:24:59,400 talk about evolution. It's the 1445 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,030 talk about evolution. It's the hallucination of the fingerprint of the 1446 00:25:01,030 --> 00:25:01,040 hallucination of the fingerprint of the 1447 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,430 hallucination of the fingerprint of the god he is ideologically bound to 1448 00:25:03,430 --> 00:25:03,440 god he is ideologically bound to 1449 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,510 god he is ideologically bound to assuming exists and made everything 1450 00:25:05,510 --> 00:25:05,520 assuming exists and made everything 1451 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:07,230 assuming exists and made everything while refusing to engage with what 1452 00:25:07,230 --> 00:25:07,240 while refusing to engage with what 1453 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,630 while refusing to engage with what science actually says. These frauds 1454 00:25:09,630 --> 00:25:09,640 science actually says. These frauds 1455 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:11,390 science actually says. These frauds never once engage with the actual 1456 00:25:11,390 --> 00:25:11,400 never once engage with the actual 1457 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,510 never once engage with the actual principles of molecular biology that are 1458 00:25:13,510 --> 00:25:13,520 principles of molecular biology that are 1459 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:15,590 principles of molecular biology that are inconvenient to their propaganda.

It's just poker hands and carved faces since 1462 00:25:18,270 --> 00:25:18,280 just poker hands and carved faces since 1463 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:19,430 just poker hands and carved faces since that's what their targets can 1464 00:25:19,430 --> 00:25:19,440 that's what their targets can 1465 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,110 that's what their targets can understand. They may use real terms like 1466 00:25:22,110 --> 00:25:22,120 understand. They may use real terms like 1467 00:25:22,120 --> 00:25:24,470 understand. They may use real terms like Shannon and Kolmogorov but the bridge to 1468 00:25:24,470 --> 00:25:24,480 Shannon and Kolmogorov but the bridge to 1469 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,670 Shannon and Kolmogorov but the bridge to biology is never actually built just 1470 00:25:26,670 --> 00:25:26,680 biology is never actually built just 1471 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,310 biology is never actually built just blindly asserted to make a 1472 00:25:28,310 --> 00:25:28,320 blindly asserted to make a 1473 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:29,550 blindly asserted to make a run-of-the-mill argument from 1474 00:25:29,550 --> 00:25:29,560 run-of-the-mill argument from 1475 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,070 run-of-the-mill argument from incredulity look like science.

Many viewers will already have 1482 00:25:37,710 --> 00:25:37,720 examples. Many viewers will already have 1483 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:39,030 examples. Many viewers will already have understood perfectly well what I'm 1484 00:25:39,030 --> 00:25:39,040 understood perfectly well what I'm 1485 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:40,830 understood perfectly well what I'm saying but we really have to thoroughly 1486 00:25:40,830 --> 00:25:40,840 saying but we really have to thoroughly 1487 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:42,590 saying but we really have to thoroughly expose the biggest trick in this whole 1488 00:25:42,590 --> 00:25:42,600 expose the biggest trick in this whole 1489 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,710 expose the biggest trick in this whole specified information game which is that 1490 00:25:44,710 --> 00:25:44,720 specified information game which is that 1491 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,030 specified information game which is that Dembski wants you to imagine biology as 1492 00:25:47,030 --> 00:25:47,040 Dembski wants you to imagine biology as 1493 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,990 Dembski wants you to imagine biology as a one-shot event. One exact outcome, one 1494 00:25:49,990 --> 00:25:50,000 a one-shot event. One exact outcome, one 1495 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,630 a one-shot event. One exact outcome, one exact sequence, one exact moment, pure 1496 00:25:52,630 --> 00:25:52,640 exact sequence, one exact moment, pure 1497 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:54,630 exact sequence, one exact moment, pure blind luck and if the number is tiny 1498 00:25:54,630 --> 00:25:54,640 blind luck and if the number is tiny 1499 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,350 blind luck and if the number is tiny enough then according to him we must 1500 00:25:56,350 --> 00:25:56,360 enough then according to him we must 1501 00:25:56,360 --> 00:25:58,550 enough then according to him we must infer design. But that's just not how 1502 00:25:58,550 --> 00:25:58,560 infer design. But that's just not how 1503 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:00,350 infer design. But that's just not how nature works. This is how these 1504 00:26:00,350 --> 00:26:00,360 nature works. This is how these 1505 00:26:00,360 --> 00:26:02,310 nature works. This is how these probability games are always rigged. 1506 00:26:02,310 --> 00:26:02,320 probability games are always rigged. 1507 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:03,990 probability games are always rigged. They take some modern biological 1508 00:26:03,990 --> 00:26:04,000 They take some modern biological 1509 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,030 They take some modern biological feature, pretend nature was aiming at 1510 00:26:06,030 --> 00:26:06,040 feature, pretend nature was aiming at 1511 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:07,590 feature, pretend nature was aiming at that exact final form from the 1512 00:26:07,590 --> 00:26:07,600 that exact final form from the 1513 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,550 that exact final form from the beginning, calculate the odds of getting 1514 00:26:09,550 --> 00:26:09,560 beginning, calculate the odds of getting 1515 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:11,750 beginning, calculate the odds of getting that exact thing in one random draw and 1516 00:26:11,750 --> 00:26:11,760 that exact thing in one random draw and 1517 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,190 that exact thing in one random draw and then wave around a big scary number. But 1518 00:26:14,190 --> 00:26:14,200 then wave around a big scary number. But 1519 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:15,950 then wave around a big scary number. But chemistry was not happening once, 1520 00:26:15,950 --> 00:26:15,960 chemistry was not happening once, 1521 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:17,550 chemistry was not happening once, molecular interactions were not 1522 00:26:17,550 --> 00:26:17,560 molecular interactions were not 1523 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:19,510 molecular interactions were not happening once, replication was not 1524 00:26:19,510 --> 00:26:19,520 happening once, replication was not 1525 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,510 happening once, replication was not happening once, mutation was not 1526 00:26:21,510 --> 00:26:21,520 happening once, mutation was not 1527 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,470 happening once, mutation was not happening once. On Earth alone there 1528 00:26:23,470 --> 00:26:23,480 happening once. On Earth alone there 1529 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,190 happening once. On Earth alone there were a billion years of chemical 1530 00:26:25,190 --> 00:26:25,200 were a billion years of chemical 1531 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,870 were a billion years of chemical activity before and during early life. 1532 00:26:27,870 --> 00:26:27,880 activity before and during early life. 1533 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:29,630 activity before and during early life. And beyond Earth, the scale gets 1534 00:26:29,630 --> 00:26:29,640 And beyond Earth, the scale gets 1535 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,510 And beyond Earth, the scale gets absurdly large very fast. The Milky Way 1536 00:26:32,510 --> 00:26:32,520 absurdly large very fast. The Milky Way 1537 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,350 absurdly large very fast. The Milky Way contains at least 100 billion stars and 1538 00:26:35,350 --> 00:26:35,360 contains at least 100 billion stars and 1539 00:26:35,360 --> 00:26:37,150 contains at least 100 billion stars and the observable universe contains at 1540 00:26:37,150 --> 00:26:37,160 the observable universe contains at 1541 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,390 the observable universe contains at least 100 billion galaxies which would 1542 00:26:39,390 --> 00:26:39,400 least 100 billion galaxies which would 1543 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,510 least 100 billion galaxies which would imply something like 10 sextillion stars 1544 00:26:42,510 --> 00:26:42,520 imply something like 10 sextillion stars 1545 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:44,550 imply something like 10 sextillion stars if galaxies were all roughly similar in 1546 00:26:44,550 --> 00:26:44,560 if galaxies were all roughly similar in 1547 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:46,950 if galaxies were all roughly similar in size. And that's just the observable 1548 00:26:46,950 --> 00:26:46,960 size. And that's just the observable 1549 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,190 size. And that's just the observable universe. Planets are not rare either. 1550 00:26:49,190 --> 00:26:49,200 universe. Planets are not rare either. 1551 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,110 universe. Planets are not rare either. There is at least one planet for every 1552 00:26:51,110 --> 00:26:51,120 There is at least one planet for every 1553 00:26:51,120 --> 00:26:53,150 There is at least one planet for every star in our galaxy on average, which 1554 00:26:53,150 --> 00:26:53,160 star in our galaxy on average, which 1555 00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,750 star in our galaxy on average, which implies roughly 100 to 400 billion 1556 00:26:55,750 --> 00:26:55,760 implies roughly 100 to 400 billion 1557 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:57,510 implies roughly 100 to 400 billion planets in the Milky Way alone. 1558 00:26:57,510 --> 00:26:57,520 planets in the Milky Way alone. 1559 00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,710 planets in the Milky Way alone. Kepler-based estimates suggest that our 1560 00:26:59,710 --> 00:26:59,720 Kepler-based estimates suggest that our 1561 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:01,910 Kepler-based estimates suggest that our galaxy may contain about 300 million 1562 00:27:01,910 --> 00:27:01,920 galaxy may contain about 300 million 1563 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:03,710 galaxy may contain about 300 million potentially habitable worlds under 1564 00:27:03,710 --> 00:27:03,720 potentially habitable worlds under 1565 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:05,750 potentially habitable worlds under conservative assumptions. While other 1566 00:27:05,750 --> 00:27:05,760 conservative assumptions. While other 1567 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:07,670 conservative assumptions. While other analyses have estimated that about one 1568 00:27:07,670 --> 00:27:07,680 analyses have estimated that about one 1569 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:09,830 analyses have estimated that about one in five sun-like stars may host an 1570 00:27:09,830 --> 00:27:09,840 in five sun-like stars may host an 1571 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:11,470 in five sun-like stars may host an Earth-sized planet in the habitable 1572 00:27:11,470 --> 00:27:11,480 Earth-sized planet in the habitable 1573 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:13,310 Earth-sized planet in the habitable zone. This is another way in which 1574 00:27:13,310 --> 00:27:13,320 zone. This is another way in which 1575 00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:15,070 zone. This is another way in which Dembski's entire framing is dead on 1576 00:27:15,070 --> 00:27:15,080 Dembski's entire framing is dead on 1577 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,070 Dembski's entire framing is dead on arrival. We are not talking about one 1578 00:27:17,070 --> 00:27:17,080 arrival. We are not talking about one 1579 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,030 arrival. We are not talking about one draw. We are talking about potentially 1580 00:27:19,030 --> 00:27:19,040 draw. We are talking about potentially 1581 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:20,790 draw. We are talking about potentially hundreds of millions of habitable zone 1582 00:27:20,790 --> 00:27:20,800 hundreds of millions of habitable zone 1583 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,270 hundreds of millions of habitable zone worlds in one galaxy and at least 100 1584 00:27:23,270 --> 00:27:23,280 worlds in one galaxy and at least 100 1585 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:24,910 worlds in one galaxy and at least 100 billion galaxies in the observable 1586 00:27:24,910 --> 00:27:24,920 billion galaxies in the observable 1587 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,150 billion galaxies in the observable universe. Even if only a tiny fraction 1588 00:27:27,150 --> 00:27:27,160 universe. Even if only a tiny fraction 1589 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:28,910 universe. Even if only a tiny fraction of those environments ever had chemistry 1590 00:27:28,910 --> 00:27:28,920 of those environments ever had chemistry 1591 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:30,910 of those environments ever had chemistry remotely conducive to life, the number 1592 00:27:30,910 --> 00:27:30,920 remotely conducive to life, the number 1593 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,350 remotely conducive to life, the number of opportunities is still mind-boggling. 1594 00:27:33,350 --> 00:27:33,360 of opportunities is still mind-boggling. 1595 00:27:33,360 --> 00:27:34,710 of opportunities is still mind-boggling. Let's say we're looking at something 1596 00:27:34,710 --> 00:27:34,720 Let's say we're looking at something 1597 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:36,350 Let's say we're looking at something that has a one in a billion shot at 1598 00:27:36,350 --> 00:27:36,360 that has a one in a billion shot at 1599 00:27:36,360 --> 00:27:38,430 that has a one in a billion shot at happening. Sounds impossibly rare, 1600 00:27:38,430 --> 00:27:38,440 happening. Sounds impossibly rare, 1601 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,390 happening. Sounds impossibly rare, right? Now give it one trillion chances. 1602 00:27:41,390 --> 00:27:41,400 right? Now give it one trillion chances. 1603 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,990 right? Now give it one trillion chances. So n equals 10 to the 12. The chance 1604 00:27:43,990 --> 00:27:44,000 So n equals 10 to the 12. The chance 1605 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,270 So n equals 10 to the 12. The chance that it happens at least once is one 1606 00:27:46,270 --> 00:27:46,280 that it happens at least once is one 1607 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,270 that it happens at least once is one minus the quantity one minus 10 to the 1608 00:27:48,270 --> 00:27:48,280 minus the quantity one minus 10 to the 1609 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,550 minus the quantity one minus 10 to the negative nine to the 10 to the 12. 1610 00:27:50,550 --> 00:27:50,560 negative nine to the 10 to the 12. 1611 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:52,870 negative nine to the 10 to the 12. That's approximately one minus e to the 1612 00:27:52,870 --> 00:27:52,880 That's approximately one minus e to the 1613 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,830 That's approximately one minus e to the negative 1,000. This is so close to one 1614 00:27:55,830 --> 00:27:55,840 negative 1,000. This is so close to one 1615 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:57,710 negative 1,000. This is so close to one that for all practical purposes, it is 1616 00:27:57,710 --> 00:27:57,720 that for all practical purposes, it is 1617 00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:59,590 that for all practical purposes, it is certain to occur. In other words, 1618 00:27:59,590 --> 00:27:59,600 certain to occur. In other words, 1619 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,070 certain to occur. In other words, something that sounds absurdly unlikely 1620 00:28:02,070 --> 00:28:02,080 something that sounds absurdly unlikely 1621 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,470 something that sounds absurdly unlikely in one attempt becomes overwhelmingly 1622 00:28:04,470 --> 00:28:04,480 in one attempt becomes overwhelmingly 1623 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,550 in one attempt becomes overwhelmingly likely if the number of opportunities is 1624 00:28:06,550 --> 00:28:06,560 likely if the number of opportunities is 1625 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,470 likely if the number of opportunities is large enough. That is to say, when 1626 00:28:08,470 --> 00:28:08,480 large enough. That is to say, when 1627 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,870 large enough. That is to say, when infinitesimal odds meet astronomical 1628 00:28:10,870 --> 00:28:10,880 infinitesimal odds meet astronomical 1629 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,350 infinitesimal odds meet astronomical opportunity, [\h__\h] happens. And that is 1630 00:28:13,350 --> 00:28:13,360 opportunity, [\h__\h] happens. And that is 1631 00:28:13,360 --> 00:28:15,270 opportunity, [\h__\h] happens. And that is before we even get to the fact that 1632 00:28:15,270 --> 00:28:15,280 before we even get to the fact that 1633 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,630 before we even get to the fact that molecular evolution is not just repeated 1634 00:28:17,630 --> 00:28:17,640 molecular evolution is not just repeated 1635 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:19,990 molecular evolution is not just repeated random trials. It is cumulative 1636 00:28:19,990 --> 00:28:20,000 random trials. It is cumulative 1637 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,070 random trials. It is cumulative selection. This is why systems chemistry 1638 00:28:22,070 --> 00:28:22,080 selection. This is why systems chemistry 1639 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,150 selection. This is why systems chemistry is the ultimate boogeyman for them. This 1640 00:28:24,150 --> 00:28:24,160 is the ultimate boogeyman for them. This 1641 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:25,990 is the ultimate boogeyman for them. This is why James Tour is always whining 1642 00:28:25,990 --> 00:28:26,000 is why James Tour is always whining 1643 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:27,950 is why James Tour is always whining about how molecules don't move towards 1644 00:28:27,950 --> 00:28:27,960 about how molecules don't move towards 1645 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,150 about how molecules don't move towards life. It's a desperate denial of the 1646 00:28:30,150 --> 00:28:30,160 life. It's a desperate denial of the 1647 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,470 life. It's a desperate denial of the properties of systems of molecules that 1648 00:28:32,470 --> 00:28:32,480 properties of systems of molecules that 1649 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:33,910 properties of systems of molecules that we have begun to understand over the 1650 00:28:33,910 --> 00:28:33,920 we have begun to understand over the 1651 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,270 we have begun to understand over the past 50 years. Molecules can exhibit 1652 00:28:36,270 --> 00:28:36,280 past 50 years. Molecules can exhibit 1653 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,510 past 50 years. Molecules can exhibit autocatalytic behavior. Self-replication 1654 00:28:38,510 --> 00:28:38,520 autocatalytic behavior. Self-replication 1655 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,430 autocatalytic behavior. Self-replication for networks of molecules is possible 1656 00:28:40,430 --> 00:28:40,440 for networks of molecules is possible 1657 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,750 for networks of molecules is possible and has been demonstrated. The sequences 1658 00:28:42,750 --> 00:28:42,760 and has been demonstrated. The sequences 1659 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:44,230 and has been demonstrated. The sequences involved are not static. They are 1660 00:28:44,230 --> 00:28:44,240 involved are not static. They are 1661 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,710 involved are not static. They are changing all the time. That's mutation. 1662 00:28:46,710 --> 00:28:46,720 changing all the time. That's mutation. 1663 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,190 changing all the time. That's mutation. Useful changes are retained, built upon, 1664 00:28:49,190 --> 00:28:49,200 Useful changes are retained, built upon, 1665 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,070 Useful changes are retained, built upon, and amplified over immense spans of 1666 00:28:51,070 --> 00:28:51,080 and amplified over immense spans of 1667 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,590 and amplified over immense spans of time. So, Dembski's one-shot probability 1668 00:28:53,590 --> 00:28:53,600 time. So, Dembski's one-shot probability 1669 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,550 time. So, Dembski's one-shot probability framing is wrong in multiple ways at 1670 00:28:55,550 --> 00:28:55,560 framing is wrong in multiple ways at 1671 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:57,630 framing is wrong in multiple ways at once. First, he ignores the enormous 1672 00:28:57,630 --> 00:28:57,640 once. First, he ignores the enormous 1673 00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:59,430 once. First, he ignores the enormous number of opportunities available across 1674 00:28:59,430 --> 00:28:59,440 number of opportunities available across 1675 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,590 number of opportunities available across time and space. Complaining about rarity 1676 00:29:01,590 --> 00:29:01,600 time and space. Complaining about rarity 1677 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:03,310 time and space. Complaining about rarity means nothing when the opportunities are 1678 00:29:03,310 --> 00:29:03,320 means nothing when the opportunities are 1679 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:05,390 means nothing when the opportunities are practically endless. Second, he ignores 1680 00:29:05,390 --> 00:29:05,400 practically endless. Second, he ignores 1681 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,190 practically endless. Second, he ignores that biological evolution is not a 1682 00:29:07,190 --> 00:29:07,200 that biological evolution is not a 1683 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,070 that biological evolution is not a one-step random assembly process in the 1684 00:29:09,070 --> 00:29:09,080 one-step random assembly process in the 1685 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:11,310 one-step random assembly process in the first place. There is no goal, just 1686 00:29:11,310 --> 00:29:11,320 first place. There is no goal, just 1687 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,350 first place. There is no goal, just constant change and the proliferation of 1688 00:29:13,350 --> 00:29:13,360 constant change and the proliferation of 1689 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:15,030 constant change and the proliferation of useful sequences via principles of 1690 00:29:15,030 --> 00:29:15,040 useful sequences via principles of 1691 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:16,910 useful sequences via principles of statistical dynamics. Then there is the 1692 00:29:16,910 --> 00:29:16,920 statistical dynamics. Then there is the 1693 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:18,790 statistical dynamics. Then there is the observer bias, which makes his argument 1694 00:29:18,790 --> 00:29:18,800 observer bias, which makes his argument 1695 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:20,430 observer bias, which makes his argument look even worse. Of course, we would 1696 00:29:20,430 --> 00:29:20,440 look even worse. Of course, we would 1697 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,150 look even worse. Of course, we would find ourselves in one of the cases where 1698 00:29:22,150 --> 00:29:22,160 find ourselves in one of the cases where 1699 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,110 find ourselves in one of the cases where the rare event happened. Only in such a 1700 00:29:24,110 --> 00:29:24,120 the rare event happened. Only in such a 1701 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:25,830 the rare event happened. Only in such a case could there be observers around to 1702 00:29:25,830 --> 00:29:25,840 case could there be observers around to 1703 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:27,950 case could there be observers around to notice it. Again, even if the odds of 1704 00:29:27,950 --> 00:29:27,960 notice it. Again, even if the odds of 1705 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:29,790 notice it. Again, even if the odds of life originating spontaneously on a 1706 00:29:29,790 --> 00:29:29,800 life originating spontaneously on a 1707 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:31,950 life originating spontaneously on a planet were one in a billion, that event 1708 00:29:31,950 --> 00:29:31,960 planet were one in a billion, that event 1709 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:33,590 planet were one in a billion, that event would still happen on billions of 1710 00:29:33,590 --> 00:29:33,600 would still happen on billions of 1711 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:35,670 would still happen on billions of planets. That's how many [\h__\h] planets 1712 00:29:35,670 --> 00:29:35,680 planets. That's how many [\h__\h] planets 1713 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:37,870 planets. That's how many [\h__\h] planets there are. So, when Dembski stares at 1714 00:29:37,870 --> 00:29:37,880 there are. So, when Dembski stares at 1715 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,390 there are. So, when Dembski stares at DNA or life in general and says, "What 1716 00:29:40,390 --> 00:29:40,400 DNA or life in general and says, "What 1717 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:42,470 DNA or life in general and says, "What are the odds?" The answer is that he has 1718 00:29:42,470 --> 00:29:42,480 are the odds?" The answer is that he has 1719 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,430 are the odds?" The answer is that he has asked the wrong question. The relevant 1720 00:29:44,430 --> 00:29:44,440 asked the wrong question. The relevant 1721 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,470 asked the wrong question. The relevant question is not "What are the odds of 1722 00:29:46,470 --> 00:29:46,480 question is not "What are the odds of 1723 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,470 question is not "What are the odds of this exact outcome in one shot?"

The relevant question is, "What are the odds 1726 00:29:50,510 --> 00:29:50,520 relevant question is, "What are the odds 1727 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:52,110 relevant question is, "What are the odds of some life-permitting chemistry 1728 00:29:52,110 --> 00:29:52,120 of some life-permitting chemistry 1729 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,310 of some life-permitting chemistry emerging somewhere given billions of 1730 00:29:54,310 --> 00:29:54,320 emerging somewhere given billions of 1731 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,390 emerging somewhere given billions of years, planetary-scale chemistry, 1732 00:29:56,390 --> 00:29:56,400 years, planetary-scale chemistry, 1733 00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:57,910 years, planetary-scale chemistry, hundreds of millions of potentially 1734 00:29:57,910 --> 00:29:57,920 hundreds of millions of potentially 1735 00:29:57,920 --> 00:29:59,710 hundreds of millions of potentially habitable worlds in our galaxy, and at 1736 00:29:59,710 --> 00:29:59,720 habitable worlds in our galaxy, and at 1737 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:01,390 habitable worlds in our galaxy, and at least 100 billion galaxies in the 1738 00:30:01,390 --> 00:30:01,400 least 100 billion galaxies in the 1739 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,510 least 100 billion galaxies in the observable universe?"

Once you frame it properly, the supposed miracle starts 1742 00:30:05,590 --> 00:30:05,600 properly, the supposed miracle starts 1743 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:07,430 properly, the supposed miracle starts looking a lot less miraculous, 1744 00:30:07,430 --> 00:30:07,440 looking a lot less miraculous, 1745 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,310 looking a lot less miraculous, especially given principles of systems 1746 00:30:09,310 --> 00:30:09,320 especially given principles of systems 1747 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,670 especially given principles of systems chemistry that not one DI member has 1748 00:30:11,670 --> 00:30:11,680 chemistry that not one DI member has 1749 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:13,870 chemistry that not one DI member has ever or will ever acknowledge. Most of 1750 00:30:13,870 --> 00:30:13,880 ever or will ever acknowledge. Most of 1751 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:15,230 ever or will ever acknowledge. Most of what I've been saying here is pretty 1752 00:30:15,230 --> 00:30:15,240 what I've been saying here is pretty 1753 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,110 what I've been saying here is pretty intuitive. That's why the DI can do 1754 00:30:17,110 --> 00:30:17,120 intuitive. That's why the DI can do 1755 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:18,990 intuitive. That's why the DI can do nothing but whine about how unqualified 1756 00:30:18,990 --> 00:30:19,000 nothing but whine about how unqualified 1757 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:20,710 nothing but whine about how unqualified I am or other pathetic attempts at 1758 00:30:20,710 --> 00:30:20,720 I am or other pathetic attempts at 1759 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:22,790 I am or other pathetic attempts at argumentum ad hominem, a thing that they 1760 00:30:22,790 --> 00:30:22,800 argumentum ad hominem, a thing that they 1761 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:24,950 argumentum ad hominem, a thing that they actually routinely do, unlike me, 1762 00:30:24,950 --> 00:30:24,960 actually routinely do, unlike me, 1763 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,190 actually routinely do, unlike me, despite their accusations otherwise. My 1764 00:30:27,190 --> 00:30:27,200 despite their accusations otherwise. My 1765 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,030 despite their accusations otherwise. My qualifications are irrelevant when I 1766 00:30:29,030 --> 00:30:29,040 qualifications are irrelevant when I 1767 00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:30,630 qualifications are irrelevant when I simply refer to well-established 1768 00:30:30,630 --> 00:30:30,640 simply refer to well-established 1769 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:32,430 simply refer to well-established scientific principles. But, we can also 1770 00:30:32,430 --> 00:30:32,440 scientific principles. But, we can also 1771 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:33,830 scientific principles. But, we can also look at the work of professionals in the 1772 00:30:33,830 --> 00:30:33,840 look at the work of professionals in the 1773 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:35,710 look at the work of professionals in the field who have debunked the crap out of 1774 00:30:35,710 --> 00:30:35,720 field who have debunked the crap out of 1775 00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:37,510 field who have debunked the crap out of Dembski's [\h__\h] as well. Here's a 1776 00:30:37,510 --> 00:30:37,520 Dembski's [\h__\h] as well. Here's a 1777 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,550 Dembski's [\h__\h] as well. Here's a 2008 paper from Landman called Dembski's 1778 00:30:40,550 --> 00:30:40,560 2008 paper from Landman called Dembski's 1779 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:43,030 2008 paper from Landman called Dembski's specified complexity, a simple error in 1780 00:30:43,030 --> 00:30:43,040 specified complexity, a simple error in 1781 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,590 specified complexity, a simple error in arithmetic. As a quick preview, we find 1782 00:30:45,590 --> 00:30:45,600 arithmetic. As a quick preview, we find 1783 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:47,150 arithmetic. As a quick preview, we find the quantitative assessment that 1784 00:30:47,150 --> 00:30:47,160 the quantitative assessment that 1785 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,590 the quantitative assessment that Demski's math is off by a factor of 10 1786 00:30:49,590 --> 00:30:49,600 Demski's math is off by a factor of 10 1787 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,830 Demski's math is off by a factor of 10 to the 117. Yikes, that's pretty bad. 1788 00:30:52,830 --> 00:30:52,840 to the 117. Yikes, that's pretty bad. 1789 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:54,910 to the 117. Yikes, that's pretty bad. Let's expand on that so that we can see 1790 00:30:54,910 --> 00:30:54,920 Let's expand on that so that we can see 1791 00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:56,630 Let's expand on that so that we can see how on top of all the conceptual 1792 00:30:56,630 --> 00:30:56,640 how on top of all the conceptual 1793 00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,070 how on top of all the conceptual problems we outlined, Demski also just 1794 00:30:59,070 --> 00:30:59,080 problems we outlined, Demski also just 1795 00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:01,390 problems we outlined, Demski also just genuinely sucks at math. The core claim 1796 00:31:01,390 --> 00:31:01,400 genuinely sucks at math. The core claim 1797 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:02,670 genuinely sucks at math. The core claim here is that once you correct the 1798 00:31:02,670 --> 00:31:02,680 here is that once you correct the 1799 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:04,630 here is that once you correct the formula, it no longer does what Demski 1800 00:31:04,630 --> 00:31:04,640 formula, it no longer does what Demski 1801 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:06,470 formula, it no longer does what Demski wants it to do. The paper starts by 1802 00:31:06,470 --> 00:31:06,480 wants it to do. The paper starts by 1803 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:07,950 wants it to do. The paper starts by laying out Demski's setup in 1804 00:31:07,950 --> 00:31:07,960 laying out Demski's setup in 1805 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:09,910 laying out Demski's setup in stripped-down form. First, Demski 1806 00:31:09,910 --> 00:31:09,920 stripped-down form. First, Demski 1807 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,190 stripped-down form. First, Demski defines a chance hypothesis, basically a 1808 00:31:12,190 --> 00:31:12,200 defines a chance hypothesis, basically a 1809 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:13,750 defines a chance hypothesis, basically a model under which the event happened 1810 00:31:13,750 --> 00:31:13,760 model under which the event happened 1811 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:15,910 model under which the event happened randomly. Landman immediately notes a 1812 00:31:15,910 --> 00:31:15,920 randomly. Landman immediately notes a 1813 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:17,790 randomly. Landman immediately notes a problem here, which is that Demski is 1814 00:31:17,790 --> 00:31:17,800 problem here, which is that Demski is 1815 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:19,990 problem here, which is that Demski is vague about exactly what this means, and 1816 00:31:19,990 --> 00:31:20,000 vague about exactly what this means, and 1817 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:21,590 vague about exactly what this means, and that vagueness matters because 1818 00:31:21,590 --> 00:31:21,600 that vagueness matters because 1819 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:23,790 that vagueness matters because biological evolution is not just chance. 1820 00:31:23,790 --> 00:31:23,800 biological evolution is not just chance. 1821 00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:25,950 biological evolution is not just chance. It also includes non-chance components 1822 00:31:25,950 --> 00:31:25,960 It also includes non-chance components 1823 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:27,790 It also includes non-chance components like selection, even for molecular 1824 00:31:27,790 --> 00:31:27,800 like selection, even for molecular 1825 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:29,990 like selection, even for molecular evolution. So right away, Landman is 1826 00:31:29,990 --> 00:31:30,000 evolution. So right away, Landman is 1827 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:31,990 evolution. So right away, Landman is already hinting that Demski's framework 1828 00:31:31,990 --> 00:31:32,000 already hinting that Demski's framework 1829 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:33,990 already hinting that Demski's framework may not even cleanly apply to evolution 1830 00:31:33,990 --> 00:31:34,000 may not even cleanly apply to evolution 1831 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:35,670 may not even cleanly apply to evolution in the first place. He states that 1832 00:31:35,670 --> 00:31:35,680 in the first place. He states that 1833 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:37,550 in the first place. He states that Demski assigns a probability to some 1834 00:31:37,550 --> 00:31:37,560 Demski assigns a probability to some 1835 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,270 Demski assigns a probability to some target pattern T. So far, fine. Then he 1836 00:31:40,270 --> 00:31:40,280 target pattern T. So far, fine. Then he 1837 00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,790 target pattern T. So far, fine. Then he adds this extra term phi sub S of T, 1838 00:31:42,790 --> 00:31:42,800 adds this extra term phi sub S of T, 1839 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:44,270 adds this extra term phi sub S of T, which is supposed to count how many 1840 00:31:44,270 --> 00:31:44,280 which is supposed to count how many 1841 00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:45,710 which is supposed to count how many patterns are at least as simply 1842 00:31:45,710 --> 00:31:45,720 patterns are at least as simply 1843 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:47,710 patterns are at least as simply describable as the target pattern. In 1844 00:31:47,710 --> 00:31:47,720 describable as the target pattern. In 1845 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:49,470 describable as the target pattern. In plain English, he is trying to account 1846 00:31:49,470 --> 00:31:49,480 plain English, he is trying to account 1847 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:50,710 plain English, he is trying to account for the fact that there are many 1848 00:31:50,710 --> 00:31:50,720 for the fact that there are many 1849 00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:52,470 for the fact that there are many patterns an observer might notice, not 1850 00:31:52,470 --> 00:31:52,480 patterns an observer might notice, not 1851 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,670 patterns an observer might notice, not just one. Then Landman explains how the 1852 00:31:54,670 --> 00:31:54,680 just one. Then Landman explains how the 1853 00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:56,510 just one. Then Landman explains how the derivation already breaks. Demski 1854 00:31:56,510 --> 00:31:56,520 derivation already breaks. Demski 1855 00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,350 derivation already breaks. Demski multiplies these things together and 1856 00:31:58,350 --> 00:31:58,360 multiplies these things together and 1857 00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:00,070 multiplies these things together and treats that as an upper bound on the 1858 00:32:00,070 --> 00:32:00,080 treats that as an upper bound on the 1859 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:01,670 treats that as an upper bound on the probability of getting some equally 1860 00:32:01,670 --> 00:32:01,680 probability of getting some equally 1861 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,070 probability of getting some equally simple pattern. But Landman points out 1862 00:32:04,070 --> 00:32:04,080 simple pattern. But Landman points out 1863 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:05,430 simple pattern. But Landman points out that simpler patterns are not 1864 00:32:05,430 --> 00:32:05,440 that simpler patterns are not 1865 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,790 that simpler patterns are not necessarily less probable. His example 1866 00:32:07,790 --> 00:32:07,800 necessarily less probable. His example 1867 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:09,950 necessarily less probable. His example is nice and concrete. If your target is 1868 00:32:09,950 --> 00:32:09,960 is nice and concrete. If your target is 1869 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,150 is nice and concrete. If your target is a very specific 10-digit string, the 1870 00:32:12,150 --> 00:32:12,160 a very specific 10-digit string, the 1871 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,430 a very specific 10-digit string, the probability is 1 in 10 billion, but a 1872 00:32:14,430 --> 00:32:14,440 probability is 1 in 10 billion, but a 1873 00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:16,470 probability is 1 in 10 billion, but a simpler pattern like contains the digit 1874 00:32:16,470 --> 00:32:16,480 simpler pattern like contains the digit 1875 00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:18,670 simpler pattern like contains the digit one is vastly more probable, around 1876 00:32:18,670 --> 00:32:18,680 one is vastly more probable, around 1877 00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,950 one is vastly more probable, around 0.35. So Demski's move from simplicity 1878 00:32:21,950 --> 00:32:21,960 0.35. So Demski's move from simplicity 1879 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:23,990 0.35. So Demski's move from simplicity to probability just does not hold. 1880 00:32:23,990 --> 00:32:24,000 to probability just does not hold. 1881 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:25,830 to probability just does not hold. That's the first error. Landman then 1882 00:32:25,830 --> 00:32:25,840 That's the first error. Landman then 1883 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:27,390 That's the first error. Landman then says this first problem is at least 1884 00:32:27,390 --> 00:32:27,400 says this first problem is at least 1885 00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,310 says this first problem is at least fixable. You could redefine the pattern 1886 00:32:29,310 --> 00:32:29,320 fixable. You could redefine the pattern 1887 00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,110 fixable. You could redefine the pattern counting term so that it only counts 1888 00:32:31,110 --> 00:32:31,120 counting term so that it only counts 1889 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:32,550 counting term so that it only counts patterns that are both at least as 1890 00:32:32,550 --> 00:32:32,560 patterns that are both at least as 1891 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:34,390 patterns that are both at least as simple and at least improbable as the 1892 00:32:34,390 --> 00:32:34,400 simple and at least improbable as the 1893 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,550 simple and at least improbable as the target. With that repair, the derivation 1894 00:32:36,550 --> 00:32:36,560 target. With that repair, the derivation 1895 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:38,190 target. With that repair, the derivation can continue. So he's being pretty 1896 00:32:38,190 --> 00:32:38,200 can continue. So he's being pretty 1897 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:39,910 can continue. So he's being pretty charitable there. But, then comes the 1898 00:32:39,910 --> 00:32:39,920 charitable there. But, then comes the 1899 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:41,710 charitable there. But, then comes the much bigger problem. Dembski later 1900 00:32:41,710 --> 00:32:41,720 much bigger problem. Dembski later 1901 00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:43,630 much bigger problem. Dembski later brings in Seth Lloyd's estimate for the 1902 00:32:43,630 --> 00:32:43,640 brings in Seth Lloyd's estimate for the 1903 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:45,550 brings in Seth Lloyd's estimate for the computational capacity of the observable 1904 00:32:45,550 --> 00:32:45,560 computational capacity of the observable 1905 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:47,870 computational capacity of the observable universe, this famous 10 to the 120 1906 00:32:47,870 --> 00:32:47,880 universe, this famous 10 to the 120 1907 00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:49,950 universe, this famous 10 to the 120 number, and plugs it into the formula as 1908 00:32:49,950 --> 00:32:49,960 number, and plugs it into the formula as 1909 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:51,950 number, and plugs it into the formula as a universal upper bound on opportunities 1910 00:32:51,950 --> 00:32:51,960 a universal upper bound on opportunities 1911 00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,390 a universal upper bound on opportunities or resources. Landman says this is where 1912 00:32:54,390 --> 00:32:54,400 or resources. Landman says this is where 1913 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,350 or resources. Landman says this is where Dembski makes the truly catastrophic 1914 00:32:56,350 --> 00:32:56,360 Dembski makes the truly catastrophic 1915 00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,430 Dembski makes the truly catastrophic mistake. Lloyd's numbers are already 1916 00:32:58,430 --> 00:32:58,440 mistake. Lloyd's numbers are already 1917 00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:00,310 mistake. Lloyd's numbers are already logarithmic measures, meaning they 1918 00:33:00,310 --> 00:33:00,320 logarithmic measures, meaning they 1919 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:01,990 logarithmic measures, meaning they already summarize the size of a 1920 00:33:01,990 --> 00:33:02,000 already summarize the size of a 1921 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,670 already summarize the size of a possibility space in bits. Dembski then 1922 00:33:04,670 --> 00:33:04,680 possibility space in bits. Dembski then 1923 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:06,630 possibility space in bits. Dembski then effectively takes the logarithm again 1924 00:33:06,630 --> 00:33:06,640 effectively takes the logarithm again 1925 00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:08,790 effectively takes the logarithm again when he should not. Dembski drops two 1926 00:33:08,790 --> 00:33:08,800 when he should not. Dembski drops two 1927 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,270 when he should not. Dembski drops two logs instead of one, just like every DI 1928 00:33:11,270 --> 00:33:11,280 logs instead of one, just like every DI 1929 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:12,790 logs instead of one, just like every DI member does in their pants when I make 1930 00:33:12,790 --> 00:33:12,800 member does in their pants when I make 1931 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:14,630 member does in their pants when I make another one of these videos. And once 1932 00:33:14,630 --> 00:33:14,640 another one of these videos. And once 1933 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:16,430 another one of these videos. And once you fix this toddler mistake, the 1934 00:33:16,430 --> 00:33:16,440 you fix this toddler mistake, the 1935 00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:18,710 you fix this toddler mistake, the intended conclusion is obliterated. 1936 00:33:18,710 --> 00:33:18,720 intended conclusion is obliterated. 1937 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:20,430 intended conclusion is obliterated. According to Landman, the corrected 1938 00:33:20,430 --> 00:33:20,440 According to Landman, the corrected 1939 00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,350 According to Landman, the corrected formula becomes useless for Dembski's 1940 00:33:22,350 --> 00:33:22,360 formula becomes useless for Dembski's 1941 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:24,150 formula becomes useless for Dembski's purposes because it would only let you 1942 00:33:24,150 --> 00:33:24,160 purposes because it would only let you 1943 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,390 purposes because it would only let you infer non-randomness for something more 1944 00:33:26,390 --> 00:33:26,400 infer non-randomness for something more 1945 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,150 infer non-randomness for something more unlikely than the entire state space of 1946 00:33:28,150 --> 00:33:28,160 unlikely than the entire state space of 1947 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:29,910 unlikely than the entire state space of the universe, which is not a meaningful 1948 00:33:29,910 --> 00:33:29,920 the universe, which is not a meaningful 1949 00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:31,550 the universe, which is not a meaningful criterion for detecting design in 1950 00:33:31,550 --> 00:33:31,560 criterion for detecting design in 1951 00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:33,670 criterion for detecting design in biology or anywhere else. And guess 1952 00:33:33,670 --> 00:33:33,680 biology or anywhere else. And guess 1953 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:35,550 biology or anywhere else. And guess what? Dembski knows information theory 1954 00:33:35,550 --> 00:33:35,560 what? Dembski knows information theory 1955 00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:37,350 what? Dembski knows information theory well enough to know exactly what he's 1956 00:33:37,350 --> 00:33:37,360 well enough to know exactly what he's 1957 00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,030 well enough to know exactly what he's doing and why it's wrong to do. 1958 00:33:39,030 --> 00:33:39,040 doing and why it's wrong to do. 1959 00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,230 doing and why it's wrong to do. >> Typically what information theorists do, 1960 00:33:41,230 --> 00:33:41,240 >> Typically what information theorists do, 1961 00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:42,950 >> Typically what information theorists do, in fact always what they do, is they 1962 00:33:42,950 --> 00:33:42,960 in fact always what they do, is they 1963 00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,510 in fact always what they do, is they transform probabilities by using a 1964 00:33:45,510 --> 00:33:45,520 transform probabilities by using a 1965 00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:47,710 transform probabilities by using a logarithmic transform. It's a logarithm 1966 00:33:47,710 --> 00:33:47,720 logarithmic transform. It's a logarithm 1967 00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:49,470 logarithmic transform. It's a logarithm to the base two, which basically 1968 00:33:49,470 --> 00:33:49,480 to the base two, which basically 1969 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:51,030 to the base two, which basically translates 1970 00:33:51,030 --> 00:33:51,040 translates 1971 00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:53,590 translates probabilities into bits. This is not 1972 00:33:53,590 --> 00:33:53,600 probabilities into bits. This is not 1973 00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:55,350 probabilities into bits. This is not just an error on his part. He's being 1974 00:33:55,350 --> 00:33:55,360 just an error on his part. He's being 1975 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,430 just an error on his part. He's being deliberately deceptive. At any rate, 1976 00:33:57,430 --> 00:33:57,440 deliberately deceptive. At any rate, 1977 00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,070 deliberately deceptive. At any rate, Landman goes on to deconstruct this 1978 00:33:59,070 --> 00:33:59,080 Landman goes on to deconstruct this 1979 00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,150 Landman goes on to deconstruct this conclusion in two different ways. First 1980 00:34:01,150 --> 00:34:01,160 conclusion in two different ways. First 1981 00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,190 conclusion in two different ways. First is the information theory argument. If 1982 00:34:03,190 --> 00:34:03,200 is the information theory argument. If 1983 00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,070 is the information theory argument. If you are considering Shannon information, 1984 00:34:05,070 --> 00:34:05,080 you are considering Shannon information, 1985 00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:06,310 you are considering Shannon information, you take the log of the number of 1986 00:34:06,310 --> 00:34:06,320 you take the log of the number of 1987 00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:08,030 you take the log of the number of possibilities. But again, Lloyd's 1988 00:34:08,030 --> 00:34:08,040 possibilities. But again, Lloyd's 1989 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:09,550 possibilities. But again, Lloyd's numbers are already logs of the 1990 00:34:09,550 --> 00:34:09,560 numbers are already logs of the 1991 00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:11,389 numbers are already logs of the underlying possibilities. So, plugging 1992 00:34:11,389 --> 00:34:11,399 underlying possibilities. So, plugging 1993 00:34:11,399 --> 00:34:13,230 underlying possibilities. So, plugging them directly into another logarithm is 1994 00:34:13,230 --> 00:34:13,240 them directly into another logarithm is 1995 00:34:13,240 --> 00:34:15,310 them directly into another logarithm is just mathematically wrong. And second is 1996 00:34:15,310 --> 00:34:15,320 just mathematically wrong. And second is 1997 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,190 just mathematically wrong. And second is the dimensional analysis argument. This 1998 00:34:17,190 --> 00:34:17,200 the dimensional analysis argument. This 1999 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:18,950 the dimensional analysis argument. This is the units argument. You can't take 2000 00:34:18,950 --> 00:34:18,960 is the units argument. You can't take 2001 00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:20,270 is the units argument. You can't take the log of something with units 2002 00:34:20,270 --> 00:34:20,280 the log of something with units 2003 00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,510 the log of something with units attached, like bit operations, any more 2004 00:34:22,510 --> 00:34:22,520 attached, like bit operations, any more 2005 00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:24,590 attached, like bit operations, any more than you can sensibly take the log of 88 2006 00:34:24,590 --> 00:34:24,600 than you can sensibly take the log of 88 2007 00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:27,149 than you can sensibly take the log of 88 feet, because the log of feet doesn't 2008 00:34:27,149 --> 00:34:27,159 feet, because the log of feet doesn't 2009 00:34:27,159 --> 00:34:28,830 feet, because the log of feet doesn't mean anything. The thing inside the 2010 00:34:28,830 --> 00:34:28,840 mean anything. The thing inside the 2011 00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,110 mean anything. The thing inside the logarithm has to be dimensionless. So, 2012 00:34:31,110 --> 00:34:31,120 logarithm has to be dimensionless. So, 2013 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,430 logarithm has to be dimensionless. So, Landman says Dembski's formula violates 2014 00:34:33,430 --> 00:34:33,440 Landman says Dembski's formula violates 2015 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,230 Landman says Dembski's formula violates that, too. So, the simple version of 2016 00:34:35,230 --> 00:34:35,240 that, too. So, the simple version of 2017 00:34:35,240 --> 00:34:37,669 that, too. So, the simple version of this paper is, even if you temporarily 2018 00:34:37,669 --> 00:34:37,679 this paper is, even if you temporarily 2019 00:34:37,679 --> 00:34:39,830 this paper is, even if you temporarily set aside all the philosophical and 2020 00:34:39,830 --> 00:34:39,840 set aside all the philosophical and 2021 00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:41,909 set aside all the philosophical and biological objections to Dembski's 2022 00:34:41,909 --> 00:34:41,919 biological objections to Dembski's 2023 00:34:41,919 --> 00:34:43,830 biological objections to Dembski's version of specified complexity, his 2024 00:34:43,830 --> 00:34:43,840 version of specified complexity, his 2025 00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:45,710 version of specified complexity, his formula still fails on basic 2026 00:34:45,710 --> 00:34:45,720 formula still fails on basic 2027 00:34:45,720 --> 00:34:47,710 formula still fails on basic mathematical grounds. First, the 2028 00:34:47,710 --> 00:34:47,720 mathematical grounds. First, the 2029 00:34:47,720 --> 00:34:49,629 mathematical grounds. First, the probability bound does not follow from 2030 00:34:49,629 --> 00:34:49,639 probability bound does not follow from 2031 00:34:49,639 --> 00:34:51,110 probability bound does not follow from the way Dembski defines pattern 2032 00:34:51,110 --> 00:34:51,120 the way Dembski defines pattern 2033 00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:52,990 the way Dembski defines pattern simplicity. Second, the universal 2034 00:34:52,990 --> 00:34:53,000 simplicity. Second, the universal 2035 00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,110 simplicity. Second, the universal resource bound is plugged in incorrectly 2036 00:34:55,110 --> 00:34:55,120 resource bound is plugged in incorrectly 2037 00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:57,150 resource bound is plugged in incorrectly by a gigantic margin. And once 2038 00:34:57,150 --> 00:34:57,160 by a gigantic margin. And once 2039 00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:58,990 by a gigantic margin. And once corrected, the formula no longer 2040 00:34:58,990 --> 00:34:59,000 corrected, the formula no longer 2041 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:00,710 corrected, the formula no longer supports the grand ideological 2042 00:35:00,710 --> 00:35:00,720 supports the grand ideological 2043 00:35:00,720 --> 00:35:02,550 supports the grand ideological conclusions Dembski is desperate to 2044 00:35:02,550 --> 00:35:02,560 conclusions Dembski is desperate to 2045 00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:04,750 conclusions Dembski is desperate to arrive at. So, in short, he is not just 2046 00:35:04,750 --> 00:35:04,760 arrive at. So, in short, he is not just 2047 00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:06,990 arrive at. So, in short, he is not just vague or misleading, his math also 2048 00:35:06,990 --> 00:35:07,000 vague or misleading, his math also 2049 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,270 vague or misleading, his math also sucks. That was fun, huh? Let's try 2050 00:35:09,270 --> 00:35:09,280 sucks. That was fun, huh? Let's try 2051 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,550 sucks. That was fun, huh? Let's try another one. Here's the 2003 paper by 2052 00:35:11,550 --> 00:35:11,560 another one. Here's the 2003 paper by 2053 00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:13,390 another one. Here's the 2003 paper by Elsberry and Shallit, "Information 2054 00:35:13,390 --> 00:35:13,400 Elsberry and Shallit, "Information 2055 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:15,710 Elsberry and Shallit, "Information Theory, Evolutionary Computation, and 2056 00:35:15,710 --> 00:35:15,720 Theory, Evolutionary Computation, and 2057 00:35:15,720 --> 00:35:17,590 Theory, Evolutionary Computation, and Dembski's Complex Specified 2058 00:35:17,590 --> 00:35:17,600 Dembski's Complex Specified 2059 00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:19,430 Dembski's Complex Specified Information." This one's a little more 2060 00:35:19,430 --> 00:35:19,440 Information." This one's a little more 2061 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:20,870 Information." This one's a little more in-depth, but we can highlight a few 2062 00:35:20,870 --> 00:35:20,880 in-depth, but we can highlight a few 2063 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,350 in-depth, but we can highlight a few points. First, the authors argue that 2064 00:35:23,350 --> 00:35:23,360 points. First, the authors argue that 2065 00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:25,230 points. First, the authors argue that Dembski never gives a coherent positive 2066 00:35:25,230 --> 00:35:25,240 Dembski never gives a coherent positive 2067 00:35:25,240 --> 00:35:27,150 Dembski never gives a coherent positive account of design or intelligence. 2068 00:35:27,150 --> 00:35:27,160 account of design or intelligence. 2069 00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:29,430 account of design or intelligence. Instead, design is often treated as 2070 00:35:29,430 --> 00:35:29,440 Instead, design is often treated as 2071 00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:31,110 Instead, design is often treated as whatever is left over after chance and 2072 00:35:31,110 --> 00:35:31,120 whatever is left over after chance and 2073 00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:33,070 whatever is left over after chance and necessity are ruled out, which they say 2074 00:35:33,070 --> 00:35:33,080 necessity are ruled out, which they say 2075 00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:35,550 necessity are ruled out, which they say is a bad way to infer causation. They 2076 00:35:35,550 --> 00:35:35,560 is a bad way to infer causation. They 2077 00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:37,710 is a bad way to infer causation. They also argue that this makes design too 2078 00:35:37,710 --> 00:35:37,720 also argue that this makes design too 2079 00:35:37,720 --> 00:35:39,950 also argue that this makes design too easy to infer from ignorance, especially 2080 00:35:39,950 --> 00:35:39,960 easy to infer from ignorance, especially 2081 00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:41,790 easy to infer from ignorance, especially for events with complicated or poorly 2082 00:35:41,790 --> 00:35:41,800 for events with complicated or poorly 2083 00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:43,910 for events with complicated or poorly known causal histories. In other words, 2084 00:35:43,910 --> 00:35:43,920 known causal histories. In other words, 2085 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:45,830 known causal histories. In other words, pretending that anything unexplained 2086 00:35:45,830 --> 00:35:45,840 pretending that anything unexplained 2087 00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:47,950 pretending that anything unexplained equals design is a stupid way of 2088 00:35:47,950 --> 00:35:47,960 equals design is a stupid way of 2089 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,110 equals design is a stupid way of thinking. This is famously called the 2090 00:35:50,110 --> 00:35:50,120 thinking. This is famously called the 2091 00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:52,190 thinking. This is famously called the God of the Gaps, no matter how much that 2092 00:35:52,190 --> 00:35:52,200 God of the Gaps, no matter how much that 2093 00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,870 God of the Gaps, no matter how much that label triggers the DI bozos. Then, when 2094 00:35:54,870 --> 00:35:54,880 label triggers the DI bozos. Then, when 2095 00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:56,950 label triggers the DI bozos. Then, when this paper gets to biology, it basically 2096 00:35:56,950 --> 00:35:56,960 this paper gets to biology, it basically 2097 00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:58,950 this paper gets to biology, it basically argues that Dembski's applications are 2098 00:35:58,950 --> 00:35:58,960 argues that Dembski's applications are 2099 00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:00,510 argues that Dembski's applications are some of the weakest parts of his whole 2100 00:36:00,510 --> 00:36:00,520 some of the weakest parts of his whole 2101 00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:02,470 some of the weakest parts of his whole framework. One problem is that his 2102 00:36:02,470 --> 00:36:02,480 framework. One problem is that his 2103 00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:04,310 framework. One problem is that his discussion of biological information 2104 00:36:04,310 --> 00:36:04,320 discussion of biological information 2105 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,070 discussion of biological information does not even sit cleanly with his own 2106 00:36:06,070 --> 00:36:06,080 does not even sit cleanly with his own 2107 00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:08,190 does not even sit cleanly with his own concepts. He talks as though DNA is 2108 00:36:08,190 --> 00:36:08,200 concepts. He talks as though DNA is 2109 00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:09,790 concepts. He talks as though DNA is packed with this kind of specified 2110 00:36:09,790 --> 00:36:09,800 packed with this kind of specified 2111 00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:11,630 packed with this kind of specified information in a way that points to 2112 00:36:11,630 --> 00:36:11,640 information in a way that points to 2113 00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:13,590 information in a way that points to design, but the authors point out that 2114 00:36:13,590 --> 00:36:13,600 design, but the authors point out that 2115 00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:15,750 design, but the authors point out that DNA does not behave in this simple tidy 2116 00:36:15,750 --> 00:36:15,760 DNA does not behave in this simple tidy 2117 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:17,510 DNA does not behave in this simple tidy way his framework would suggest. 2118 00:36:17,510 --> 00:36:17,520 way his framework would suggest. 2119 00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:19,750 way his framework would suggest. Compression of DNA is actually a real 2120 00:36:19,750 --> 00:36:19,760 Compression of DNA is actually a real 2121 00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:21,430 Compression of DNA is actually a real research problem, and only limited 2122 00:36:21,430 --> 00:36:21,440 research problem, and only limited 2123 00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:23,470 research problem, and only limited compression is possible. So, right away, 2124 00:36:23,470 --> 00:36:23,480 compression is possible. So, right away, 2125 00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:25,030 compression is possible. So, right away, his rhetoric about information, 2126 00:36:25,030 --> 00:36:25,040 his rhetoric about information, 2127 00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:27,110 his rhetoric about information, complexity, and compressibility is 2128 00:36:27,110 --> 00:36:27,120 complexity, and compressibility is 2129 00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:28,910 complexity, and compressibility is already on shaky ground when applied to 2130 00:36:28,910 --> 00:36:28,920 already on shaky ground when applied to 2131 00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,270 already on shaky ground when applied to actual biological sequences. Then there 2132 00:36:31,270 --> 00:36:31,280 actual biological sequences. Then there 2133 00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,070 actual biological sequences. Then there is the classic bacterial flagellum 2134 00:36:33,070 --> 00:36:33,080 is the classic bacterial flagellum 2135 00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:34,550 is the classic bacterial flagellum [\h__\h] which we've debunked to 2136 00:36:34,550 --> 00:36:34,560 [\h__\h] which we've debunked to 2137 00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:36,390 [\h__\h] which we've debunked to smithereens in other videos, so we don't 2138 00:36:36,390 --> 00:36:36,400 smithereens in other videos, so we don't 2139 00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:37,910 smithereens in other videos, so we don't need to reiterate it here. But the 2140 00:36:37,910 --> 00:36:37,920 need to reiterate it here. But the 2141 00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:39,590 need to reiterate it here. But the biggest problem is the way Dembski 2142 00:36:39,590 --> 00:36:39,600 biggest problem is the way Dembski 2143 00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:42,110 biggest problem is the way Dembski handles probability in biology. Nature 2144 00:36:42,110 --> 00:36:42,120 handles probability in biology. Nature 2145 00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,550 handles probability in biology. Nature isn't one-shot assembly, so on and so 2146 00:36:44,550 --> 00:36:44,560 isn't one-shot assembly, so on and so 2147 00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:46,830 isn't one-shot assembly, so on and so forth, all stuff we've heard before. So 2148 00:36:46,830 --> 00:36:46,840 forth, all stuff we've heard before. So 2149 00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:48,150 forth, all stuff we've heard before. So the critique here is not just that 2150 00:36:48,150 --> 00:36:48,160 the critique here is not just that 2151 00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:50,150 the critique here is not just that Dembski got a few biological examples 2152 00:36:50,150 --> 00:36:50,160 Dembski got a few biological examples 2153 00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:52,150 Dembski got a few biological examples wrong. It's that once he applies this 2154 00:36:52,150 --> 00:36:52,160 wrong. It's that once he applies this 2155 00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:54,150 wrong. It's that once he applies this framework to real biology, it becomes 2156 00:36:54,150 --> 00:36:54,160 framework to real biology, it becomes 2157 00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:56,110 framework to real biology, it becomes unrealistic, over-inclusive, and 2158 00:36:56,110 --> 00:36:56,120 unrealistic, over-inclusive, and 2159 00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,990 unrealistic, over-inclusive, and basically useless. Biology, information 2160 00:36:58,990 --> 00:36:59,000 basically useless. Biology, information 2161 00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,470 basically useless. Biology, information theory, math, philosophy, it looks like 2162 00:37:01,470 --> 00:37:01,480 theory, math, philosophy, it looks like 2163 00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:04,150 theory, math, philosophy, it looks like the learned world is uniformly opposed 2164 00:37:04,150 --> 00:37:04,160 the learned world is uniformly opposed 2165 00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:05,750 the learned world is uniformly opposed to the propaganda campaign that is 2166 00:37:05,750 --> 00:37:05,760 to the propaganda campaign that is 2167 00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:07,830 to the propaganda campaign that is specified information. This is not a 2168 00:37:07,830 --> 00:37:07,840 specified information. This is not a 2169 00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:10,630 specified information.

It's scholars universally 2174 00:37:15,670 --> 00:37:15,680 academia. It's scholars universally 2175 00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:17,990 academia. It's scholars universally rejecting religious propaganda. 2176 00:37:17,990 --> 00:37:18,000 rejecting religious propaganda. 2177 00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,350 rejecting religious propaganda. Dembski's schtick is nothing but a turd 2178 00:37:20,350 --> 00:37:20,360 Dembski's schtick is nothing but a turd 2179 00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:22,390 Dembski's schtick is nothing but a turd in a tuxedo. When you strip away the 2180 00:37:22,390 --> 00:37:22,400 in a tuxedo. When you strip away the 2181 00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:23,910 in a tuxedo. When you strip away the dressing, the message to the 2182 00:37:23,910 --> 00:37:23,920 dressing, the message to the 2183 00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:25,470 dressing, the message to the science-literate viewer is that 2184 00:37:25,470 --> 00:37:25,480 science-literate viewer is that 2185 00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,470 science-literate viewer is that information is some magical ethereal 2186 00:37:27,470 --> 00:37:27,480 information is some magical ethereal 2187 00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:29,590 information is some magical ethereal substance breathed into DNA from the 2188 00:37:29,590 --> 00:37:29,600 substance breathed into DNA from the 2189 00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:31,430 substance breathed into DNA from the Christian God, because that's the only 2190 00:37:31,430 --> 00:37:31,440 Christian God, because that's the only 2191 00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:33,750 Christian God, because that's the only way to explain life. What could be more 2192 00:37:33,750 --> 00:37:33,760 way to explain life. What could be more 2193 00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:35,790 way to explain life. What could be more pseudo-scientific than that? 2194 00:37:35,790 --> 00:37:35,800 pseudo-scientific than that? 2195 00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:37,350 pseudo-scientific than that?

How else do these clowns try to infiltrate the 2282 00:39:09,150 --> 00:39:09,160 do these clowns try to infiltrate the 2283 00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:11,870 do these clowns try to infiltrate the educational space? In 1999, Baylor 2284 00:39:11,870 --> 00:39:11,880 educational space? In 1999, Baylor 2285 00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:14,030 educational space? In 1999, Baylor University President Robert Sloan 2286 00:39:14,030 --> 00:39:14,040 University President Robert Sloan 2287 00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:16,110 University President Robert Sloan brought Dembski in to establish the 2288 00:39:16,110 --> 00:39:16,120 brought Dembski in to establish the 2289 00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:18,550 brought Dembski in to establish the Michael Polanyi Center, basically an 2290 00:39:18,550 --> 00:39:18,560 Michael Polanyi Center, basically an 2291 00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:20,670 Michael Polanyi Center, basically an intelligent design hub at major research 2292 00:39:20,670 --> 00:39:20,680 intelligent design hub at major research 2293 00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:22,430 intelligent design hub at major research university, but apparently with little 2294 00:39:22,430 --> 00:39:22,440 university, but apparently with little 2295 00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:24,390 university, but apparently with little faculty consultation and very little 2296 00:39:24,390 --> 00:39:24,400 faculty consultation and very little 2297 00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,270 faculty consultation and very little connection to Baylor's actual science, 2298 00:39:26,270 --> 00:39:26,280 connection to Baylor's actual science, 2299 00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,430 connection to Baylor's actual science, philosophy, or religion departments. 2300 00:39:28,430 --> 00:39:28,440 philosophy, or religion departments. 2301 00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:30,150 philosophy, or religion departments. This is a Christian university, mind 2302 00:39:30,150 --> 00:39:30,160 This is a Christian university, mind 2303 00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:31,870 This is a Christian university, mind you. Then, after the center held a 2304 00:39:31,870 --> 00:39:31,880 you. Then, after the center held a 2305 00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:34,310 you. Then, after the center held a conference on naturalism in science, 2306 00:39:34,310 --> 00:39:34,320 conference on naturalism in science, 2307 00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:37,270 conference on naturalism in science, Baylor's faculty senate voted 27 to 2 to 2308 00:39:37,270 --> 00:39:37,280 Baylor's faculty senate voted 27 to 2 to 2309 00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:39,110 Baylor's faculty senate voted 27 to 2 to dissolve it and fold it into an existing 2310 00:39:39,110 --> 00:39:39,120 dissolve it and fold it into an existing 2311 00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:41,190 dissolve it and fold it into an existing institute. Here's the funny part. 2312 00:39:41,190 --> 00:39:41,200 institute. Here's the funny part. 2313 00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,630 institute. Here's the funny part. Dembski responded by claiming the review 2314 00:39:43,630 --> 00:39:43,640 Dembski responded by claiming the review 2315 00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:46,030 Dembski responded by claiming the review had given an unqualified affirmation of 2316 00:39:46,030 --> 00:39:46,040 had given an unqualified affirmation of 2317 00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:48,070 had given an unqualified affirmation of his work, and that it marked the triumph 2318 00:39:48,070 --> 00:39:48,080 his work, and that it marked the triumph 2319 00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:50,190 his work, and that it marked the triumph of intelligent design as a legitimate 2320 00:39:50,190 --> 00:39:50,200 of intelligent design as a legitimate 2321 00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:52,670 of intelligent design as a legitimate form of academic inquiry. Right, because 2322 00:39:52,670 --> 00:39:52,680 form of academic inquiry. Right, because 2323 00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:53,910 form of academic inquiry. Right, because getting your center dissolved and 2324 00:39:53,910 --> 00:39:53,920 getting your center dissolved and 2325 00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:55,510 getting your center dissolved and absorbed elsewhere is obviously the 2326 00:39:55,510 --> 00:39:55,520 absorbed elsewhere is obviously the 2327 00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:57,950 absorbed elsewhere is obviously the clearest sign of total victory. Baylor 2328 00:39:57,950 --> 00:39:57,960 clearest sign of total victory. Baylor 2329 00:39:57,960 --> 00:39:59,790 clearest sign of total victory. Baylor pushed back, asked him to withdraw the 2330 00:39:59,790 --> 00:39:59,800 pushed back, asked him to withdraw the 2331 00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:01,670 pushed back, asked him to withdraw the statement, he refused, and he was 2332 00:40:01,670 --> 00:40:01,680 statement, he refused, and he was 2333 00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:03,550 statement, he refused, and he was removed as director. So, the Baylor 2334 00:40:03,550 --> 00:40:03,560 removed as director. So, the Baylor 2335 00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:05,910 removed as director. So, the Baylor story is a perfect representation of the 2336 00:40:05,910 --> 00:40:05,920 story is a perfect representation of the 2337 00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:08,430 story is a perfect representation of the entire intelligent design campaign. Weak 2338 00:40:08,430 --> 00:40:08,440 entire intelligent design campaign. Weak 2339 00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:10,750 entire intelligent design campaign. Weak to non-existent institutional support, 2340 00:40:10,750 --> 00:40:10,760 to non-existent institutional support, 2341 00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:13,270 to non-existent institutional support, enormous ideological spin, and declaring 2342 00:40:13,270 --> 00:40:13,280 enormous ideological spin, and declaring 2343 00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:15,270 enormous ideological spin, and declaring victory while being shown the door. This 2344 00:40:15,270 --> 00:40:15,280 victory while being shown the door. This 2345 00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:17,230 victory while being shown the door. This is the DI through and through. Science 2346 00:40:17,230 --> 00:40:17,240 is the DI through and through. Science 2347 00:40:17,240 --> 00:40:19,030 is the DI through and through. Science is always dead last. It's about 2348 00:40:19,030 --> 00:40:19,040 is always dead last. It's about 2349 00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:20,910 is always dead last. It's about brainwashing conservative Christians 2350 00:40:20,910 --> 00:40:20,920 brainwashing conservative Christians 2351 00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:22,870 brainwashing conservative Christians into thinking that religion is science, 2352 00:40:22,870 --> 00:40:22,880 into thinking that religion is science, 2353 00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:24,670 into thinking that religion is science, and that means participating in pathetic 2354 00:40:24,670 --> 00:40:24,680 and that means participating in pathetic 2355 00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,110 and that means participating in pathetic culture war brain rot. Demski is always 2356 00:40:27,110 --> 00:40:27,120 culture war brain rot. Demski is always 2357 00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:29,470 culture war brain rot. Demski is always thrilled to be a warrior for this cause. 2358 00:40:29,470 --> 00:40:29,480 thrilled to be a warrior for this cause. 2359 00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:32,590 thrilled to be a warrior for this cause. How scientific materialism begot woke 2360 00:40:32,590 --> 00:40:32,600 How scientific materialism begot woke 2361 00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:35,230 How scientific materialism begot woke ideology. Oh my goodness, it's the two 2362 00:40:35,230 --> 00:40:35,240 ideology. Oh my goodness, it's the two 2363 00:40:35,240 --> 00:40:37,470 ideology. Oh my goodness, it's the two worst things ever in the same blog post. 2364 00:40:37,470 --> 00:40:37,480 worst things ever in the same blog post. 2365 00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:39,910 worst things ever in the same blog post. Stupid icky materialism that denies our 2366 00:40:39,910 --> 00:40:39,920 Stupid icky materialism that denies our 2367 00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:42,190 Stupid icky materialism that denies our magic sky daddy and our super awesome 2368 00:40:42,190 --> 00:40:42,200 magic sky daddy and our super awesome 2369 00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:44,710 magic sky daddy and our super awesome souls that totally exist and that stupid 2370 00:40:44,710 --> 00:40:44,720 souls that totally exist and that stupid 2371 00:40:44,720 --> 00:40:47,510 souls that totally exist and that stupid dumb woke DEI nonsense. You know how 2372 00:40:47,510 --> 00:40:47,520 dumb woke DEI nonsense. You know how 2373 00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:49,710 dumb woke DEI nonsense. You know how those stupid libtards push the trans 2374 00:40:49,710 --> 00:40:49,720 those stupid libtards push the trans 2375 00:40:49,720 --> 00:40:51,230 those stupid libtards push the trans stuff that makes you so angry and 2376 00:40:51,230 --> 00:40:51,240 stuff that makes you so angry and 2377 00:40:51,240 --> 00:40:52,910 stuff that makes you so angry and uncomfortable? They're the same ones 2378 00:40:52,910 --> 00:40:52,920 uncomfortable? They're the same ones 2379 00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:55,870 uncomfortable? They're the same ones pushing this naturalism crap. The nerve. 2380 00:40:55,870 --> 00:40:55,880 pushing this naturalism crap. The nerve. 2381 00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:57,590 pushing this naturalism crap. The nerve. Here are some choice snippets from this 2382 00:40:57,590 --> 00:40:57,600 Here are some choice snippets from this 2383 00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:00,750 Here are some choice snippets from this turd fest. Scientific materialism is the 2384 00:41:00,750 --> 00:41:00,760 turd fest. Scientific materialism is the 2385 00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:02,910 turd fest. Scientific materialism is the view that science functions to advance 2386 00:41:02,910 --> 00:41:02,920 view that science functions to advance 2387 00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:05,510 view that science functions to advance materialism. This is him whining about 2388 00:41:05,510 --> 00:41:05,520 materialism. This is him whining about 2389 00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:07,630 materialism. This is him whining about the fact that science is science. 2390 00:41:07,630 --> 00:41:07,640 the fact that science is science. 2391 00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:09,950 the fact that science is science. Science explains the natural world, 2392 00:41:09,950 --> 00:41:09,960 Science explains the natural world, 2393 00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:11,870 Science explains the natural world, which is made of matter, and science 2394 00:41:11,870 --> 00:41:11,880 which is made of matter, and science 2395 00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:14,270 which is made of matter, and science does indeed function to advance science. 2396 00:41:14,270 --> 00:41:14,280 does indeed function to advance science. 2397 00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:17,070 does indeed function to advance science. Shocking. Darwin is this atheistic 2398 00:41:17,070 --> 00:41:17,080 Shocking. Darwin is this atheistic 2399 00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:20,030 Shocking. Darwin is this atheistic ideology's principal prophet. As soon as 2400 00:41:20,030 --> 00:41:20,040 ideology's principal prophet. As soon as 2401 00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:21,550 ideology's principal prophet. As soon as they start crapping their pants about 2402 00:41:21,550 --> 00:41:21,560 they start crapping their pants about 2403 00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:23,710 they start crapping their pants about Darwin, you can check out completely. 2404 00:41:23,710 --> 00:41:23,720 Darwin, you can check out completely. 2405 00:41:23,720 --> 00:41:25,670 Darwin, you can check out completely. There's only butt-hurt creationist brain 2406 00:41:25,670 --> 00:41:25,680 There's only butt-hurt creationist brain 2407 00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:27,590 There's only butt-hurt creationist brain rot to follow. Darwin is nothing 2408 00:41:27,590 --> 00:41:27,600 rot to follow. Darwin is nothing 2409 00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:29,750 rot to follow. Darwin is nothing remotely like a prophet. No field of 2410 00:41:29,750 --> 00:41:29,760 remotely like a prophet. No field of 2411 00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:31,230 remotely like a prophet. No field of science can be represented by an 2412 00:41:31,230 --> 00:41:31,240 science can be represented by an 2413 00:41:31,240 --> 00:41:33,030 science can be represented by an individual scholar, and modern 2414 00:41:33,030 --> 00:41:33,040 individual scholar, and modern 2415 00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:34,990 individual scholar, and modern evolutionary biology would be totally 2416 00:41:34,990 --> 00:41:35,000 evolutionary biology would be totally 2417 00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,510 evolutionary biology would be totally unrecognizable to Darwin. Scientists 2418 00:41:37,510 --> 00:41:37,520 unrecognizable to Darwin. Scientists 2419 00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:39,270 unrecognizable to Darwin. Scientists aren't prophets and science isn't 2420 00:41:39,270 --> 00:41:39,280 aren't prophets and science isn't 2421 00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:41,030 aren't prophets and science isn't religion, no matter how much these 2422 00:41:41,030 --> 00:41:41,040 religion, no matter how much these 2423 00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:42,630 religion, no matter how much these frauds want their target audience to 2424 00:41:42,630 --> 00:41:42,640 frauds want their target audience to 2425 00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:44,310 frauds want their target audience to think it is so that they can feel better 2426 00:41:44,310 --> 00:41:44,320 think it is so that they can feel better 2427 00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:45,870 think it is so that they can feel better about being brain washed idiots who have 2428 00:41:45,870 --> 00:41:45,880 about being brain washed idiots who have 2429 00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:47,670 about being brain washed idiots who have blind faith in their false prophet. 2430 00:41:47,670 --> 00:41:47,680 blind faith in their false prophet. 2431 00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:50,190 blind faith in their false prophet. Here's a gem. Woke ideology did not 2432 00:41:50,190 --> 00:41:50,200 Here's a gem. Woke ideology did not 2433 00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:52,710 Here's a gem. Woke ideology did not arise in a vacuum, but is the logical 2434 00:41:52,710 --> 00:41:52,720 arise in a vacuum, but is the logical 2435 00:41:52,720 --> 00:41:55,190 arise in a vacuum, but is the logical outworking of a materialist worldview in 2436 00:41:55,190 --> 00:41:55,200 outworking of a materialist worldview in 2437 00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:57,590 outworking of a materialist worldview in which humans are meat puppets. There's 2438 00:41:57,590 --> 00:41:57,600 which humans are meat puppets. There's 2439 00:41:57,600 --> 00:41:59,830 which humans are meat puppets. There's that word again, woke. Not a single 2440 00:41:59,830 --> 00:41:59,840 that word again, woke. Not a single 2441 00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:01,950 that word again, woke. Not a single anti-woke loser can define what woke 2442 00:42:01,950 --> 00:42:01,960 anti-woke loser can define what woke 2443 00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:03,670 anti-woke loser can define what woke means and they never will because it 2444 00:42:03,670 --> 00:42:03,680 means and they never will because it 2445 00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:05,390 means and they never will because it just means any facts that hurt their 2446 00:42:05,390 --> 00:42:05,400 just means any facts that hurt their 2447 00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:07,670 just means any facts that hurt their feelings. Yearning for the ignorance of 2448 00:42:07,670 --> 00:42:07,680 feelings. Yearning for the ignorance of 2449 00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:09,750 feelings. Yearning for the ignorance of antiquity and all of the slavery and 2450 00:42:09,750 --> 00:42:09,760 antiquity and all of the slavery and 2451 00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:11,830 antiquity and all of the slavery and misogyny and other social injustice that 2452 00:42:11,830 --> 00:42:11,840 misogyny and other social injustice that 2453 00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:13,670 misogyny and other social injustice that went along with it. This is just a 2454 00:42:13,670 --> 00:42:13,680 went along with it. This is just a 2455 00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:15,870 went along with it. This is just a pathetic defense mechanism of angry 2456 00:42:15,870 --> 00:42:15,880 pathetic defense mechanism of angry 2457 00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:17,990 pathetic defense mechanism of angry white Christian men who can't handle 2458 00:42:17,990 --> 00:42:18,000 white Christian men who can't handle 2459 00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:19,390 white Christian men who can't handle sharing their wealth and power for the 2460 00:42:19,390 --> 00:42:19,400 sharing their wealth and power for the 2461 00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:21,710 sharing their wealth and power for the first time in centuries. Can you believe 2462 00:42:21,710 --> 00:42:21,720 first time in centuries. Can you believe 2463 00:42:21,720 --> 00:42:23,950 first time in centuries. Can you believe this [\h__\h] is what passes for publication 2464 00:42:23,950 --> 00:42:23,960 this [\h__\h] is what passes for publication 2465 00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:26,350 this [\h__\h] is what passes for publication over at the DI? This blog post is what 2466 00:42:26,350 --> 00:42:26,360 over at the DI? This blog post is what 2467 00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:28,790 over at the DI? This blog post is what happens when someone confuses a culture 2468 00:42:28,790 --> 00:42:28,800 happens when someone confuses a culture 2469 00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:31,190 happens when someone confuses a culture war rant with intellectual history. 2470 00:42:31,190 --> 00:42:31,200 war rant with intellectual history. 2471 00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:33,150 war rant with intellectual history. Evolutionary biology has nothing to do 2472 00:42:33,150 --> 00:42:33,160 Evolutionary biology has nothing to do 2473 00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:35,110 Evolutionary biology has nothing to do with campus politics, no matter how 2474 00:42:35,110 --> 00:42:35,120 with campus politics, no matter how 2475 00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:37,430 with campus politics, no matter how angry you are that trans people exist. 2476 00:42:37,430 --> 00:42:37,440 angry you are that trans people exist. 2477 00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:39,670 angry you are that trans people exist. Get over it. It is this ideological 2478 00:42:39,670 --> 00:42:39,680 Get over it. It is this ideological 2479 00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:41,430 Get over it. It is this ideological framework that elucidates Dembski's 2480 00:42:41,430 --> 00:42:41,440 framework that elucidates Dembski's 2481 00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:43,270 framework that elucidates Dembski's pseudoscience and the rest of the output 2482 00:42:43,270 --> 00:42:43,280 pseudoscience and the rest of the output 2483 00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:45,110 pseudoscience and the rest of the output of the DI. Their rhetoric does not 2484 00:42:45,110 --> 00:42:45,120 of the DI. Their rhetoric does not 2485 00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:47,430 of the DI. Their rhetoric does not consist of neutral scientific tools that 2486 00:42:47,430 --> 00:42:47,440 consist of neutral scientific tools that 2487 00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:49,310 consist of neutral scientific tools that just happen to land on design when the 2488 00:42:49,310 --> 00:42:49,320 just happen to land on design when the 2489 00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:51,390 just happen to land on design when the evidence points that way. They are built 2490 00:42:51,390 --> 00:42:51,400 evidence points that way. They are built 2491 00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:53,110 evidence points that way. They are built from the start to make that conclusion 2492 00:42:53,110 --> 00:42:53,120 from the start to make that conclusion 2493 00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:54,910 from the start to make that conclusion seem inevitable. The probability 2494 00:42:54,910 --> 00:42:54,920 seem inevitable. The probability 2495 00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:56,470 seem inevitable. The probability framing, the vague notion of 2496 00:42:56,470 --> 00:42:56,480 framing, the vague notion of 2497 00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:58,910 framing, the vague notion of specification, the misuse of information 2498 00:42:58,910 --> 00:42:58,920 specification, the misuse of information 2499 00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:00,710 specification, the misuse of information theory language, the caricature of 2500 00:43:00,710 --> 00:43:00,720 theory language, the caricature of 2501 00:43:00,720 --> 00:43:02,990 theory language, the caricature of evolution as a one-shot random process, 2502 00:43:02,990 --> 00:43:03,000 evolution as a one-shot random process, 2503 00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:04,910 evolution as a one-shot random process, all of it is arranged in a way that 2504 00:43:04,910 --> 00:43:04,920 all of it is arranged in a way that 2505 00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:06,710 all of it is arranged in a way that pushes toward intelligent design from 2506 00:43:06,710 --> 00:43:06,720 pushes toward intelligent design from 2507 00:43:06,720 --> 00:43:08,630 pushes toward intelligent design from the outset. And that is why it can't be 2508 00:43:08,630 --> 00:43:08,640 the outset. And that is why it can't be 2509 00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:10,550 the outset. And that is why it can't be separated from the broader project of 2510 00:43:10,550 --> 00:43:10,560 separated from the broader project of 2511 00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:13,190 separated from the broader project of rebranding creationism. The goal is not 2512 00:43:13,190 --> 00:43:13,200 rebranding creationism. The goal is not 2513 00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:14,950 rebranding creationism. The goal is not to follow the evidence wherever it 2514 00:43:14,950 --> 00:43:14,960 to follow the evidence wherever it 2515 00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:17,150 to follow the evidence wherever it leads, the goal is to take religiously 2516 00:43:17,150 --> 00:43:17,160 leads, the goal is to take religiously 2517 00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:19,550 leads, the goal is to take religiously motivated conclusions and dress them up 2518 00:43:19,550 --> 00:43:19,560 motivated conclusions and dress them up 2519 00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:21,310 motivated conclusions and dress them up in mathematical and scientific-sounding 2520 00:43:21,310 --> 00:43:21,320 in mathematical and scientific-sounding 2521 00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:23,590 in mathematical and scientific-sounding language so they appear respectable. 2522 00:43:23,590 --> 00:43:23,600 language so they appear respectable. 2523 00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:25,790 language so they appear respectable. Specified information is one example of 2524 00:43:25,790 --> 00:43:25,800 Specified information is one example of 2525 00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:27,710 Specified information is one example of that strategy. It begins with a loose 2526 00:43:27,710 --> 00:43:27,720 that strategy. It begins with a loose 2527 00:43:27,720 --> 00:43:29,230 that strategy. It begins with a loose intuition that is not inherently 2528 00:43:29,230 --> 00:43:29,240 intuition that is not inherently 2529 00:43:29,240 --> 00:43:31,310 intuition that is not inherently ridiculous, but then it gets stretched, 2530 00:43:31,310 --> 00:43:31,320 ridiculous, but then it gets stretched, 2531 00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:33,110 ridiculous, but then it gets stretched, weaponized, and applied in a way that is 2532 00:43:33,110 --> 00:43:33,120 weaponized, and applied in a way that is 2533 00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:35,190 weaponized, and applied in a way that is fundamentally biased toward declaring 2534 00:43:35,190 --> 00:43:35,200 fundamentally biased toward declaring 2535 00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:37,110 fundamentally biased toward declaring design whenever natural explanations are 2536 00:43:37,110 --> 00:43:37,120 design whenever natural explanations are 2537 00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:39,070 design whenever natural explanations are inconvenient to their agenda. The point 2538 00:43:39,070 --> 00:43:39,080 inconvenient to their agenda. The point 2539 00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:41,230 inconvenient to their agenda. The point was never to do science, the point was 2540 00:43:41,230 --> 00:43:41,240 was never to do science, the point was 2541 00:43:41,240 --> 00:43:42,670 was never to do science, the point was always to protect a predetermined 2542 00:43:42,670 --> 00:43:42,680 always to protect a predetermined 2543 00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:44,590 always to protect a predetermined worldview. And this predetermined 2544 00:43:44,590 --> 00:43:44,600 worldview. And this predetermined 2545 00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:46,550 worldview. And this predetermined worldview can't be separated from the 2546 00:43:46,550 --> 00:43:46,560 worldview can't be separated from the 2547 00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:48,190 worldview can't be separated from the nefarious culture war the DI is 2548 00:43:48,190 --> 00:43:48,200 nefarious culture war the DI is 2549 00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:50,190 nefarious culture war the DI is fighting. I've outlined this agenda many 2550 00:43:50,190 --> 00:43:50,200 fighting. I've outlined this agenda many 2551 00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:51,990 fighting. I've outlined this agenda many times, but it still seems that not 2552 00:43:51,990 --> 00:43:52,000 times, but it still seems that not 2553 00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:53,630 times, but it still seems that not enough people are aware of it. And with 2554 00:43:53,630 --> 00:43:53,640 enough people are aware of it. And with 2555 00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:55,750 enough people are aware of it. And with Meyer ramping up his activity, pumping 2556 00:43:55,750 --> 00:43:55,760 Meyer ramping up his activity, pumping 2557 00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:57,870 Meyer ramping up his activity, pumping out theater-grade propaganda films, it 2558 00:43:57,870 --> 00:43:57,880 out theater-grade propaganda films, it 2559 00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:00,110 out theater-grade propaganda films, it bears repeating. The DI is part of the 2560 00:44:00,110 --> 00:44:00,120 bears repeating. The DI is part of the 2561 00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:02,830 bears repeating. The DI is part of the war on science. This war is being waged 2562 00:44:02,830 --> 00:44:02,840 war on science. This war is being waged 2563 00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:05,270 war on science. This war is being waged by institutions with theocratic intent. 2564 00:44:05,270 --> 00:44:05,280 by institutions with theocratic intent. 2565 00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,350 by institutions with theocratic intent. These are astonishingly well-funded, and 2566 00:44:07,350 --> 00:44:07,360 These are astonishingly well-funded, and 2567 00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:09,190 These are astonishingly well-funded, and they leave very little to chance. They 2568 00:44:09,190 --> 00:44:09,200 they leave very little to chance. They 2569 00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:11,270 they leave very little to chance. They employ marketing firms to come up with 2570 00:44:11,270 --> 00:44:11,280 employ marketing firms to come up with 2571 00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:12,870 employ marketing firms to come up with strategic methods to improve their 2572 00:44:12,870 --> 00:44:12,880 strategic methods to improve their 2573 00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:14,550 strategic methods to improve their public appearance, undermine the 2574 00:44:14,550 --> 00:44:14,560 public appearance, undermine the 2575 00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:16,670 public appearance, undermine the public's trust in science and academia, 2576 00:44:16,670 --> 00:44:16,680 public's trust in science and academia, 2577 00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:17,950 public's trust in science and academia, and market pseudoscience like 2578 00:44:17,950 --> 00:44:17,960 and market pseudoscience like 2579 00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:19,790 and market pseudoscience like intelligent design as credible and 2580 00:44:19,790 --> 00:44:19,800 intelligent design as credible and 2581 00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:21,830 intelligent design as credible and legitimate science. I'm not being even 2582 00:44:21,830 --> 00:44:21,840 legitimate science. I'm not being even 2583 00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:24,070 legitimate science. I'm not being even remotely hyperbolic. A marketing firm 2584 00:44:24,070 --> 00:44:24,080 remotely hyperbolic. A marketing firm 2585 00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:26,270 remotely hyperbolic. A marketing firm pioneered their whole wedge strategy 2586 00:44:26,270 --> 00:44:26,280 pioneered their whole wedge strategy 2587 00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:28,230 pioneered their whole wedge strategy from the now infamous wedge document 2588 00:44:28,230 --> 00:44:28,240 from the now infamous wedge document 2589 00:44:28,240 --> 00:44:30,430 from the now infamous wedge document I've brought up many times as a way to 2590 00:44:30,430 --> 00:44:30,440 I've brought up many times as a way to 2591 00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:32,230 I've brought up many times as a way to successfully undermine public trust in 2592 00:44:32,230 --> 00:44:32,240 successfully undermine public trust in 2593 00:44:32,240 --> 00:44:34,550 successfully undermine public trust in science. The DI threw everything they 2594 00:44:34,550 --> 00:44:34,560 science. The DI threw everything they 2595 00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:37,030 science. The DI threw everything they had at Kitzmiller v. Dover to inject 2596 00:44:37,030 --> 00:44:37,040 had at Kitzmiller v. Dover to inject 2597 00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:38,990 had at Kitzmiller v. Dover to inject religion into public education. But 2598 00:44:38,990 --> 00:44:39,000 religion into public education. But 2599 00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:40,590 religion into public education. But luckily, the Bush-appointed right-wing 2600 00:44:40,590 --> 00:44:40,600 luckily, the Bush-appointed right-wing 2601 00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:42,510 luckily, the Bush-appointed right-wing judge they drew had integrity and 2602 00:44:42,510 --> 00:44:42,520 judge they drew had integrity and 2603 00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:44,070 judge they drew had integrity and respect for the law, and they've been 2604 00:44:44,070 --> 00:44:44,080 respect for the law, and they've been 2605 00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:46,350 respect for the law, and they've been recovering from that failure ever since. 2606 00:44:46,350 --> 00:44:46,360 recovering from that failure ever since. 2607 00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,590 recovering from that failure ever since. This means doing their best to craft new 2608 00:44:48,590 --> 00:44:48,600 This means doing their best to craft new 2609 00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:50,870 This means doing their best to craft new propaganda, but they also strategically 2610 00:44:50,870 --> 00:44:50,880 propaganda, but they also strategically 2611 00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:52,990 propaganda, but they also strategically fund campaigns for countless nationalist 2612 00:44:52,990 --> 00:44:53,000 fund campaigns for countless nationalist 2613 00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:54,870 fund campaigns for countless nationalist judges in an effort to subvert this 2614 00:44:54,870 --> 00:44:54,880 judges in an effort to subvert this 2615 00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:57,030 judges in an effort to subvert this hurdle in future legal challenges. This 2616 00:44:57,030 --> 00:44:57,040 hurdle in future legal challenges. This 2617 00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:58,750 hurdle in future legal challenges. This includes the capturing of the Supreme 2618 00:44:58,750 --> 00:44:58,760 includes the capturing of the Supreme 2619 00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:00,950 includes the capturing of the Supreme Court under Trump. The public does not 2620 00:45:00,950 --> 00:45:00,960 Court under Trump. The public does not 2621 00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:03,190 Court under Trump. The public does not seem to be fully aware of how tenuous 2622 00:45:03,190 --> 00:45:03,200 seem to be fully aware of how tenuous 2623 00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:04,670 seem to be fully aware of how tenuous the separation of church and state 2624 00:45:04,670 --> 00:45:04,680 the separation of church and state 2625 00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:06,870 the separation of church and state really is, and how easily it can be 2626 00:45:06,870 --> 00:45:06,880 really is, and how easily it can be 2627 00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:09,030 really is, and how easily it can be undermined by malicious interpretations 2628 00:45:09,030 --> 00:45:09,040 undermined by malicious interpretations 2629 00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:10,990 undermined by malicious interpretations of the Constitution. The goal is to 2630 00:45:10,990 --> 00:45:11,000 of the Constitution. The goal is to 2631 00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:13,270 of the Constitution. The goal is to destroy public education, corrupt 2632 00:45:13,270 --> 00:45:13,280 destroy public education, corrupt 2633 00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:15,270 destroy public education, corrupt scientific research, and subjugate the 2634 00:45:15,270 --> 00:45:15,280 scientific research, and subjugate the 2635 00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:17,430 scientific research, and subjugate the masses under theocratic rule. And these 2636 00:45:17,430 --> 00:45:17,440 masses under theocratic rule. And these 2637 00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:19,270 masses under theocratic rule. And these organizations have spent millions, if 2638 00:45:19,270 --> 00:45:19,280 organizations have spent millions, if 2639 00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:21,270 organizations have spent millions, if not billions of dollars over the past 2640 00:45:21,270 --> 00:45:21,280 not billions of dollars over the past 2641 00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:23,630 not billions of dollars over the past few decades, strategically chipping away 2642 00:45:23,630 --> 00:45:23,640 few decades, strategically chipping away 2643 00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:25,350 few decades, strategically chipping away at our protections with the goal of 2644 00:45:25,350 --> 00:45:25,360 at our protections with the goal of 2645 00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:26,950 at our protections with the goal of successfully reinterpreting the 2646 00:45:26,950 --> 00:45:26,960 successfully reinterpreting the 2647 00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:29,110 successfully reinterpreting the Constitution in a theocratic light. 2648 00:45:29,110 --> 00:45:29,120 Constitution in a theocratic light. 2649 00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:30,550 Constitution in a theocratic light. Don't forget, they successfully 2650 00:45:30,550 --> 00:45:30,560 Don't forget, they successfully 2651 00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:32,870 Don't forget, they successfully overturned a landmark legal decision, 2652 00:45:32,870 --> 00:45:32,880 overturned a landmark legal decision, 2653 00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:34,990 overturned a landmark legal decision, Roe v. Wade, that was affirmed and 2654 00:45:34,990 --> 00:45:35,000 Roe v. Wade, that was affirmed and 2655 00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,310 Roe v. Wade, that was affirmed and reaffirmed for over 50 years. That 2656 00:45:37,310 --> 00:45:37,320 reaffirmed for over 50 years. That 2657 00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:39,470 reaffirmed for over 50 years. That wasn't coincidence. It was the direct 2658 00:45:39,470 --> 00:45:39,480 wasn't coincidence. It was the direct 2659 00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:41,510 wasn't coincidence. It was the direct result of their successful infiltration 2660 00:45:41,510 --> 00:45:41,520 result of their successful infiltration 2661 00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:43,590 result of their successful infiltration of our Supreme Court. This should 2662 00:45:43,590 --> 00:45:43,600 of our Supreme Court. This should 2663 00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:45,790 of our Supreme Court. This should terrify you. They just recently came 2664 00:45:45,790 --> 00:45:45,800 terrify you. They just recently came 2665 00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:47,950 terrify you. They just recently came dangerously close to demolishing the 2666 00:45:47,950 --> 00:45:47,960 dangerously close to demolishing the 2667 00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:49,910 dangerously close to demolishing the separation of church and state aspect of 2668 00:45:49,910 --> 00:45:49,920 separation of church and state aspect of 2669 00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:51,790 separation of church and state aspect of the establishment clause as well by 2670 00:45:51,790 --> 00:45:51,800 the establishment clause as well by 2671 00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:53,510 the establishment clause as well by reinterpreting the withholding of public 2672 00:45:53,510 --> 00:45:53,520 reinterpreting the withholding of public 2673 00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:55,070 reinterpreting the withholding of public funds to religious schools as a 2674 00:45:55,070 --> 00:45:55,080 funds to religious schools as a 2675 00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:56,710 funds to religious schools as a violation of those students' right to 2676 00:45:56,710 --> 00:45:56,720 violation of those students' right to 2677 00:45:56,720 --> 00:45:58,750 violation of those students' right to practice their religion. The only reason 2678 00:45:58,750 --> 00:45:58,760 practice their religion. The only reason 2679 00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:00,670 practice their religion. The only reason it didn't happen is because Amy Barrett 2680 00:46:00,670 --> 00:46:00,680 it didn't happen is because Amy Barrett 2681 00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:02,790 it didn't happen is because Amy Barrett apparently grew a conscience and recused 2682 00:46:02,790 --> 00:46:02,800 apparently grew a conscience and recused 2683 00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:04,670 apparently grew a conscience and recused herself on the case. So, it ended in a 2684 00:46:04,670 --> 00:46:04,680 herself on the case. So, it ended in a 2685 00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:07,190 herself on the case.
