Empiricism and Intelligent Design I: Three Empiricist Challenges
Due to the logical relations between theism and intelligent design (ID), there are two challenges to theism that also apply to ID. In the falsifiability challenge, it is charged that theism is compatible with every observation statement and thus asserts nothing. I argue that the contentious assumptions of this challenge can be avoided without loss of precision by charging theism (and thus ID) d...
متن کاملEmpiricism and Intelligent Design II: Analyzing Intelligent Design
If intelligent design (ID) is to compete with evolutionary theory (ET), it must meet the modified falsifiability challenge, that is, make some deductive or probabilistic observational assertions. It must also meet the modified translatability challenge, which it fails if ET makes all the observational assertions of ID, while ID does not make all the observational assertions of ET. I discuss fou...

Can. Design Engineering Conference DesChal_v50.doc Winnipeg, MB; July 22-24, 2007 – 1 of 10 – Printed: 8/14/07 Abstract Numerous attempts are being made to develop machines that could act not only autonomously, but also in an increasingly intelligent and cognitive manner. Such cognitive machines ought to be aware of their environments which include not only other machines, but also human beings...
متن کاملIntelligent Software Design: Challenges and Solutions
The radical changes in information technology are reshaping the software engineering environment, especially in respect to design and development of the intelligent systems. We explicate the technical and social issues related to the emergence of the new forms of intelligent software and consider challenges arising from the growing technical capabilities of information technology tools vs. corr...
متن کاملChallenges in the Design of Adoptive, Intelligent and Cognitive Systems
Numerous attempts are being made to develop machines that could act not only autonomously, but also in an increasingly intelligent and cognitive manner. Such cognitive machines ought to be aware of their environments which include not only other machines, but also human beings. Such machines ought to understand the meaning of information in more human-like ways by grounding knowledge in the phy...
