North Korean Nuclear Test Forces Seismologists to Make a Design Inference
Recently, seismologists were met with the unfortunate news that North Korea probably tested a nuclear weapon and handed the task of confirming whether the North Korean government was truthful when they claimed they tested a nuke. Interestingly, they will be using the theory of intelligent design in trying to distinguish between naturally caused seismic energy and seismic energy which was artificially produced by an explosion caused by intelligence.
On this episode of ID The Future, CSC’s Casey Luskin explains that the technical difficulties in detecting intelligent causation in seismic energy don’t prevent scientists from trying to detect, or reject design. If and when they do verify a nuclear explosion, scientists will clearly have made a design inference.
