Intelligent Design and the NFL Theorems: Debunking Dembski

Biological Evolution and the NFL Theorems

William Dembski (2002) claimed that the NFL-theorems from optimization theory render Darwinian biological evolution impossible. Häggström (2006) argued that the NFL-theorems are not relevant for biological evolution, since the assumptions of the NFL-theorems are not met. Although I agree with Häggström (2006), in this article I argue that the NFL-theorems should be interpreted as dealing with a...

Simulation of biological evolution and the NFL theorems

William Dembski (No free lunch: why specified complexity cannot be purchased without intelligence, 2002) claimed that the NFL theorems from optimization theory render darwinian biological evolution impossible. Häggström (Biology and Philosophy 22:217-230, 2007) argued that the NFL theorems are not relevant for biological evolution at all, since the assumptions of the NFL theorems are not met. A...

quantum theory and the intelligent design argument

quantum theory poses itself to be a challenging counterpart to the intelligent design argument. quantum physics founded upon uncertainty, probability and statistics has exerted great influence since its inception on the philosophical thinking of man. the findings of this theory has helped bring about a dramatic transformation in the notion of ‘order in nature.’ in modern physics, it is hardly p...

Design and Implementation of an Intelligent Part of Speech Generator

The aim of this paper is to report on an attempt to design and implement an intelligent system capable of generating the correct part of speech for a given sentence while the sentence is totally new to the system and not stored in any database available to the system. It follows the same steps a normal individual does to provide the correct parts of speech using a natural language processor. It...
