Intelligent Design Lecture

The lecture today on intelligent design was great. I felt like Dr. baxter did an excellent job of presenting the various arguements, using simple examples and expanding them to a bigger picture. It was also very interesting to hear a philosophical debate on a subject that had such strong religious implications without religion itself ever become the primary focus. I am fascinated by the fundamental issues thta were presented that a thought to be the reasons why people have to such a great extent adopted a form of religious belief and also have personified the "creator" of our universe.

With all the formal trips and lectures over now, I am impressed at how much information, from a vast array of topics, that I have picked up without really any studying at all beyond one quick paper.
