In the modern world, truth is equated with opinion and treated as such. The quintessence of this mindset is the widespread view that "everyone has their own truth."

Sometimes the situation is even worse. Many people hold the conviction that truth—and objective truth in particular—does not exist at all. This reflects poorly on anyone who asserts such a view with genuine conviction rather than as a joke. If these individuals were to make even the slightest intellectual effort, they would have to realize that at least *this* claim of theirs must be true—and objectively so.

However, as we shall see, truth is not merely an opinion. Truth is a reality that deeply affects us —sometimes painfully so. Moreover, truth is a serious matter—at times literally a question of life and death—and that is precisely why it is so compelling.

In this lecture, the term "evolution" refers to the mechanisms postulated by modern evolutionary theory—mechanisms intended to explain the variability of organisms, their diversification, and the emergence of new life forms without the involvement of a conscious designer. The variability of living organisms itself is not in doubt; the question, however, is whether these mechanisms are sufficient to explain the emergence of new, functional, and increasingly complex biological information.

From an engineering perspective, it is particularly interesting that complex technical systems contain information governing their construction, functioning, and the interaction of their components. This information is not a random collection of changes but points to a purposeful origin. It possesses a specific structure and embodies specific functions. Can a similar perspective be applied to all biological systems?

The lecture presents the concept of Intelligent Design (ID) as a way of interpreting the complexity, functionality, and information observed in nature. The starting point is the question of whether certain features of organisms point to the action of intelligent (purposeful) causes—much like how we recognize the construction of human-designed systems based on specific characteristics.

But is this actually the case?

The first theories regarding the origin of the Universe that are considered modern emerged nearly 250 years ago. A century later, the view that the Bible is merely a collection of fairy tales began to gain social acceptance. Few people realize that this view—now a century and a half old—originated at a time when, from our current perspective, information about the Universe was virtually non-existent.

It is hardly surprising that, under those conditions, atheist thought coalesced into precisely that worldview; it could not have been otherwise. What is surprising, however, is that this view remains so widely held today, despite astronomical discoveries—specifically those made possible by telescopes launched far beyond Earth's orbit—and the wealth of information we have gained from them.

The process begins with the movement of acoustic waves through the air. The vibrations are then transmitted to three tiny bones in the middle ear, which in turn set the fluid in the inner ear—the cochlea—in motion. The next stage involves the movement of a specialised membrane that separates sound into its component frequencies, followed by the movement of microscopic hair cells. Finally, electrochemical processes generate electrical signals that are transmitted to the brain.

This is a phenomenal sequence of events, displaying remarkable engineering. Its precision has led even Richard Dawkins to write of the three bones of the middle ear:

“They constitute an exquisitely delicate bridge, to transport sound from the eardrum to the inner ear.”

Richard Dawkins, „The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution”, Black Swan, 2009, s. 293

However, rather than give glory to God, who clearly states in Proverbs 20:12, “The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the LORD hath made even both of them,” evolutionists insist that these three tiny bones gradually changed their location as they moved from the jaw bones of reptiles. The logic of this is beyond comprehension when one understands the near-perfect acoustic transmission involved in this system.

Professor McIntosh draws on his background in acoustic engineering to show that the frequency analyser we all have in our ears is not only an example of brilliant engineering design, but also a tribute to the beauty of what the Lord has made in sound sensory mechanisms and to our ability to appreciate voice and music.

This presentation is an important Bible based talk against Theistic Evolution. It also deals with days of Creation and shows that Bible history is to be taken literally.

The infallibility of Scripture, the timeline and true history is at stake, The Gospel is only understood properly when one grasps that the World and the Universe was made perfect with no death before the Fall. The NT teaching of redemption is lost if one accepts evolutionary philosophy since the Biblical theology of the Cross is only consistent with sin and death following the Fall.

With much talk in Western countries about true identity, the 3rd point above about Adam being made from dust (and Eve being made from the side of Adam) is very relevant to this issue. Our identity Biblically is bound up with being either born as XY (male) or female (XX).
