Cambrian Explosion and Beyond

Hello, everyone!

Well, we had a few weeks off.  I hope everyone had a relaxing time away.

Last week we continued our assessment of evolutionary theory by analyzing the arguments given in the 2nd hour of the PBS Evolution series.  For what it's worth coming from me, I must say I was extremely impressed by your ability to determine both the weaknesses and assumptive language given by PBS in support of the theory.  I think we have already discovered as a class that the theory is far from capable of supplying and intellectually satisfying explanation for the complexity of life and structure we see around us.  Now the question moves to complexity we see within us.  What, if anything, can really account for our own exquisite design?

To begin answering that question we will soon begin our look at the arguments and explanations for and against the complexity found within every living cell.  And soon we will begin to discover exactly how a materialistic worldview impacts real life.

Side-note: While the information provided by the video's is good, it does not allow for extensive explanations.  Therefore, I encourage you to read your books, look up the definitions for the terms, and do some minimal research for the questions I've provided.

God bless you all!  I commend you for your faithfulness and diligence to see this through!
