idea is picked up in the works of richard dawkins. dawkins puts it this way in his classic work, "thelind watch maker." he ss, biolo is the study of complicatedhings that give the appearance of having been designed for a purpose. i'm an old college professor, but i want to offer a quiz right now for anyone who can come up with the keyword this this quotation. it's obvusly appearance, right? things look as thougthe been designed but they weren't because there a purely and guided mechanism and natural selection acting on random variations or even that can produce the appearance or the illusion of design without that mechanism of natural selection being guided or directed in any wa th was berlinski idea. natural selection of course being feel idea of random variations and a population an differential reproduction. now, let's put tha idea of darwin's in context. what he was trying to show is that all of the living forms that have risen since the very beginning of life were produced by a purely on direct and natural process a the proce aga

i've used richard dawkins use that phrase but you didn't say that. >> i didn't want to plagiarize anything. the context that the doctor is referring to at the very end of the movie where dawkins is probed b the origin of life problem and he acknowledges that a quote no one knows how lif first began. of course, he's talking within the framework of a standard evolutionary approach, which assumes only materialistic explanations. and then he goes on to say and i suppose, he said, there could be a signature of intelligence side life and if so, that would point to the need of some kind of intelligent cause but he said that would have to be an intelligence outside of space that had itself directed by tside of processes. i call that the a, b, g, anything but god. [laughter] >> and i raise that not because intelligent design necessarily proves the existence of god but rather because it shows that dawkins' whole program of the new atheist program presupposes that god can't be part of the answer. he would go to such lengths as to propose the space alien hypothsis. it shows he's got a visceral distast

i've heard richard dawkins use that phrase, but you don't acknowledge that in the book. >> you know, i didn't want to get caught of plagiarizing or he'd accuse me of intelligent designing something. actually the phrase dawkins used was a signature of intelligence. the context the doctor is referring to is at the very end of the movie expelled where dawkins is probed by ben stein about the origin of life problem, and he acknowledges that a quote, no one knows how life first beg. of course, he's talking within the framework of a standard evolutionary approach which assumes only matialistic explanations. and then he goes on to say, and i suppose, he said, there could be a signatu of intelligence inside life, and if so, that would point to the need of some kind of intelligent cause. but he said, that would have to be an intelligence somewhere out in space that had itself evolved under directed processes. so some may call that the abg hypothesis, anything but god. [laughter] and i raise that not because intelligent design necessarily proves the existen of god, but rather because it shows t

i heard richard dawkins use that phrase that yodon't acknowledge that in the book. >> i didn't want to get caught plagrizi or accusing me of intelligent design sometng. the phrase dawkins used was signature of intelligence, the context you arreferring to is that the end of the movie expelled where dawkins is probed about the origin of life, he acknowledgeds no one knows how life first began, he i talking within theramework of a standa evolutionary approach which is to the only materialistic explanations. then he goes on to say i suppose he said there cld be a signature of intelligence inside life and if so, tt would point to the need of an intelligent cause, but he says them have to be an intelligence someplace out in space that had itself evolve. that is thebt hypophysis, anythingut god, i raise that not just because -- not becse intelligent design through the existence of god but dawkins program of the new atheist program presupposes that god can't be part of the answer, proposing th space alien hypophysis, shows that he has a distaste for considering anything beyond that. its very c
