><font color=blue><center><b><p> >BASIC ARGUMENT STATED ></font></center></b> >Our basic argument has now made two points.

Second, >present experience tells us that an intelligent cause >should be sought wherever we find specified >complexity. This gives us u criteria to show when an >intelligent cause is operating and when it is not. So >if it is valid for science to look for primary causes >and we have some way of identifying them, the basic >argument for Creation goes like this: > >1. Origin science should be used to study origins. >A. There are two kinds of science: operation science >and origin science; and we must use one or the other >to study origins. >B. Operation science should not be used to study >unique, unrepeatable past events because it is devoted >to studying the normal operations of the present. >C. So, origin science is the proper method for >studying origins because it studies unique, unrepeated >events, which are origins by definition. > >II. Origin science admits the possibility of primary >intelligent causes. > >III. Primary intelligent causes can be identified· >when there is evidence of specified complexity > >IV. Therefore, wherever there is evidence of specified >complexity, origin science should posit a primary >intelligent cause. > >We may now apply this type of argument to the three >areas of origins: the origin of the universe, the >origin of first life, and the origin of new life >forms. > >[From When Skeptics Ask by Geisler & Brooks]
