Is the Human Body Poorly Designed? An Award-Winning Engineer Answers
Is the natural world full of flawed, makeshift designs, as some critics of intelligent design have argued? Or are living things far more ingeniously engineered than we’ve been led to believe? On this episode of ID the Future, host Andrew McDiarmid is pleased to bring you a conversation with award-winning British engineer and designer Dr. Stuart Burgess, a senior fellow with Discovery Institute’s Center for Science and Culture and author of the book Ultimate Engineering.
Dr. Burgess has spent decades studying engineering design, both in human technology and in humans themselves. And his work has led him to challenge the popular claim that biology is full of poor design. In this conversation, originally recorded for the Truthful Hope podcast, host Jacob Vasquez talks with Burgess about the so called bad design argument and what engineering principles can tell us about the evidence for intelligent design in nature.
