One of the most commonly used arguments concerning an Intelligent Designer is the “Watchmaker” argument… Basically that anything complex requires an intelligent designer. Now Richard Dawkins basically blew this argument out of the water, but since ID people won’t read Dawkins, I’ll go ahead and explain the logically fallicy of the argument here.

Nothing designed is original… They are merely the result of small, incremental improvements over time. In other words, an evolution parallel.

Lets take the Watch as an example as it appears to be one of the favorite used by ID proponents:

The watch wasn’t invented one day by a man who decided, “Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to tell time?” It was a long, slow process involving thousands of years.

First there was observing the Sun. People could tell approximately what time of day it was merely by looking up and seeing where the sun was.

Of course that wasn’t always accurate enough so the Sundial was produced. Markings around the sundial could give much more accurate information in regards to what time of day it was.

Then there was the problem of cloudy days (not to mention nighttime) which led to the invention of the mechanical clock. The markings were the same as the sundial and even the hand moved in the exact same direction (clockwise). Other hands were eventually included to make the clock more accurate.

The first clocks weren’t very portable. They required weighted pendulums and weighed several tons. For that reason there was usually only one in each town (usually in a central location such as a church or clocktower). Refinements to the design were made until eventually the clocks weighed only a couple hundred pounds apiece and could therefore be placed in individual homes.

As clocks became shrinking in size, there became a challenge amongst engineers to create a portable version. Once the weighted pendulums were replaced by a series of springs, the clock became truly portable and the “watch” was invented.

Of course these first watches weighed between 10-15 pounds, but incremental improvements over the years eventually brought the size and weight down to the point where they could be comfortably strapped to the wrist.

Other improvements included a small pendulum inserted into the winding mechanism (self-winding) through replacing the mechanics of the watch altogether with piezoelectric crystals.

As you can see, the watch wasn’t just invented “out of the blue” by some genius in Switzerland, but rather evolved through thousands of years with small, incremental changes over time.

So, we can see pretty easily that the “Watchmaker” argument does not prove ID, but rather supports evolution rather nicely. ID proponents point to the watch as proof of the necessity of a designer. Dawkins refers to this as “The Blind Watchmaker” argument because it relies on the watch being invented by an individual that had never seen a clock, a sundial, or even the Sun itself to be valid.

Quite interesting. It raises few questions in my mind. Why the used gigantic PHENIX detector to record virtually every type of particle expelled at a right angle from the collision. After analyzing their data, the team found significantly fewer particles than conventional theory predicts. What do we mean by detectors and recorders capable of recording virtually every thing that is scattered by the collision? Do these record anything if it is dark?

My this quriy is based on the recent observation of the Dark Energy occupying as high as 72% of universe. If this energy which is extremely cold happens to be a constituent of mass and is released as impact of the collision would not get detected and recorded and would account for the missing mass that is the difference in the expected and detected particles. Based on this and such many other scientific experimental results/observations and other possible interpretations I am working on a new conceptual theory for “Beginning of Universe as duality and formation of particles with mass and observed properties and characteristics” which is nearing completion. This theory is purely philosophical as I am very poor at math. There are no mathematical expressions in it.

It is very easy to jump on the bandwagon of pseudo intellectualism but unfortunately it is useless to do so. The universe may be virtual, try going without water for a few weeks or slit your throat. Whats hunger and whats pain, just a few neurons buzzing around in an organ called the brain right?

We perceive a lot through our senses but our understanding of nature goes far beyond the senses. Besides, what do you mean by virtual? All that lingo is suited for sci-fi films not for actual science. Knowledge comes from perseverance and the pursuit of answers, not by sitting down and proclaiming that every thing is virtual. Even to perceive something as virtual some sense organ is needed. As long as a sense organ exists, it will have a physical existence and hence physical reality always will super-cede any spiritual notion.

Please try reading a book on quantum chromodynamics, Bose-Einstein statistics and Fermi-Dirac theories and then try incorporating spirituality into them. If spirituality is really meant to be the absolute truth then it should encompass all these theories right?

Once you can explain the results of the aforementioned experiments/theories then maybe we can regard such spiritual gibberish as an alternative explanation. Till that point, it is just escapism… an attempt to dilute the harshness of the real world with sugar coated fantasies.

The core of the uncertainty principle is that the very act of measuring one aspect will have an effect on the other. If you measure momentum then you affect position.if you measure position then you affect momentum.

This is usually explained by waveform mechanics. If you take a specific position then the wavelength becomes infinite… if you take a specific wavelength then the periodic oscillation becomes infinite. For this reason, the exact position and momentum cannot be directly measured, instead they must be measured indirectly.

A good example of how this works is the electrical current of a circuit. The very act of directly measuring the current will have a dramatic effect on the current in the circuit. For this reason current is usually measured indirectly by use of an Amprobe which measures the magnetic field caused by the current and calculates what the current should be.

Everyone is subject to the many facets of bias and common fallacies. However, the scientific method allows us to build up upon verified knowledge to make new interpretations.

That is to say that on primarily looks for facts supporting or disproving a hypothesis. Inasmuch facts support the hypothesis and no fact disproves it, a theory can be held as valid and verified. This, until or if a fact is found that falsifies the theory by disproving the hypothesis. All theory is thus, tentatively true.
