... include the Anthropic Principle and the discovery of irreducibly complex biological systems. The Anthropic Principle is a term used to describe the discovery that physics is not as straightforward cause-and-effect as it once seemed. It describes the discovery that "the existence of life in the universe ... what they are as a result of necessity in the study of their efficient cause: essentially these numbers are "features of the laws [of physics] themselves. Therefore the laws cannot explain these features; they comprise the features that we need to explain- (Behe 59). By saying that thes...

Creationists point to death as being the ultimate manifestation of this law. This physics principle does not allow for something as complex as the human eye to originate from something simple....

How is it possible for one to account for the existence of a divine power, or rather attempt to explain various events in history for instance the flood?
