"Determining a robust method for inferring intelligent design led
William Dembski to devise a Design Filter. ....An object under consideration must pass three tests: contingency, complexity and specification.
William Dembski to devise a Design Filter. ....An object under consideration must pass three tests: contingency, complexity and specification.
Contingency means the object or event did not have to happen; it could have gone another way. If it had to happen, that would be necessity, not design.
Complexity means the probability for the object or event is low enough to rule out chance. Otherwise, the observer could infer it just happened by chance.
Specification means the object or event matches an independently-given pattern. For example, some large rocky cliffs look like faces. But if the rock matches the faces of four US presidents known from paper money or portraits, like at Mount Rushmore, the shapes are specified." CEH
Praise the Lord from the earth, you great sea creatures and all deeps, fire and hail, snow and mist, stormy wind fulfilling his word! Psalm 148:7-8
