Definition / Meghatrozs

certain features of the universe and of living things are best explained by an intelligent cause, not an undirected process such as natural selection. az univerzum s az llnyek egyes jellegzetessgeit egy intelligens okkal lehet megmagyarzni, nem pedig olyan irnytatlan termszeti folyamatokkal, mint a termszetes szelekci.

The Modern Design Theory A modern tervezselmletrl

Proposed by scientists and philosopher of scientists from 1970. Termszettudsok s tudomnyfilozfusok dolgoztk ki az 1970-es vektl.

Based on physics, information theory, biochemistry and other sciences. Alapjt a fizika, a csillagszat, az informcielmlet, a biokmia s ms trstudomnyok felfedezsei kpezik.

The Modern Design Theory A modern tervezselmletrl

The moment of honesty

All of us who study the origin of life find that the more we look into it, the more we feel that it is too complex to have evolved anywhere. But, we believe as an article of faith that life evolved from dead matter on this planet. It is just that its complexity is so great, it is hard for us to imagine that it did. (Harold Urey, Nobel Prize winning chemist)

Egy szinte pillanat

Mi, akik az let eredett tanulmnyozzuk, minl tbbet vizsgldunk, annl inkbb gy rezzk, tl bonyolult ahhoz, hogy brhol kifejldhetett volna. Valamennyien hitttelknt hisznk abban, hogy az let az lettelen anyagbl alakult ki ezen a bolygn. De az let annyira bonyolult, hogy nehezen kpzelhet el, tnyleg gy trtnt. (Harold Urey, Nobel-djas fizikus s kmikus)

Az let eredetrl

A lehetetlensgig valszntlen a DNS molekula s a fehrjk spontn megjelense. A materialista elmletek nem kpesek rszletesen szmot adni sem a sejtalkotk, sem az informci, sem az informci-tviteli mechanizmus eredetrl. Informci nem jhet ltre vletlenl, hanem mindig tudatos kzltl szrmazik.

Controversial reception

If / Ha Based on observation Megfigyelseken alapszik Testable / Tesztelhet Falsifiable / Falszifiklhat Makes predictions / Predikcikra kpes Refers only to natural causes (?) Csak termszeti okokra hivatkozik (?)

Methodological materialism Mdszertani materializmus

Hidden philosophical supposition of the contemporary science. A kortrs tudomny hallgatlagos filozfiai elfelttelezse. We can explain everything by material causes and effects. Minden megmagyarzhat anyagi okok eredmnyeknt.
