Theistic evolution over Darwinian evolution

In the debate, I will be showing how Theistic evolution is the best explanation for the origin of species over Darwinian evolution while my opponent defends the other side which includes arguing for universal common ancestry. Explanatory and predictive power are essential in determining this. This is NOT however about providing a perfect explanation. The Intelligent Designer has been discovered: Divine Intelligence Abstract Theistic Evolution: it is a comprehensive model, which is considered to be the most scientifically consistent model that includes intelligence. The theory reveals the designer as being a God that is most likely from the Judeo-Christian religion where it is interested in having a relationship with humanity while it sustains all of reality in the process. When using the Genesis account in the bible, the theistic model shows who what, where, when, why and how the origins of species developed and came about through the guided hand of Divine Intelligence. It also seeks to address the many objections on design inferences in biology. Darwinian Evolution: a philosophical extension to the scientific theory of evolution. It is the idea that evolution is an unguided process or a only natural process where there is no ultimate form of life that is the "target" of all this reproduction, mutation, and selection. In addition, it implies that there is Universal common ancestry between species. OBSERVATIONS The Beginning Borde, Guth, Vilenken developed a theorem that proves inflationary models must contain singularities [1]. At this point, called the initial singularity, gravity, space-time curvature, density etc. becomes infinite or near infinite where the laws of physics break down and do not apply, which means the aforementioned first law of thermodynamics would not hold inside a singularity and matter may be created or destroyed. They also authored the BGV theorem which proves that any universe that is on average in a state of cosmic expansion greater than 0 throughout its history cannot be infinite in the past, but must have a past space time boundary [2]. This theorem does not assume Einstein"s equations and holds even when we don't have a complete quantum theory of gravity of the early universe. In fact, Even if we are just a tiny part of a so-called "multi-verse" with another version of space-time that follow different laws of nature, their theorem would still require an absolute beginning from this multi-verse as well. This is because the BGV theorem carries only one assumption: If the expansion rate of any universe is greater than 0, the universe began. One more observation seems to compound the idea, that there must have been a beginning, would be the second law of thermodynamics. A universe that exists infinitively in the future will come to equilibrium (heat death). Therefore, if a universe was also past eternal, then it should have already been in a state of equilibrium. The Finely-Tuned Universe The fundamental laws and constants of nature fall under an extraordinarily narrow range of life permitting values ,within an infinite set, in which the right value was chosen every time. The slightest change in these values would prevent any kind of life from evolving or existing. Moreover, these perfectly fine-tuned laws and constants came into being right after the big bang, error free and without change throughout this process.[3] Let me explain what I mean by "fine-tuned for life". I am talking about fine-tuned for the building blocks and environments that life of any kind requires under the general definition of scientists presently use [4]. In other words, If the constants were even altered just a little, You would not get chemistry or matter much less planets and stars that can serve as places where life might evolve (In science, the meaning of the term "life" is not fully established or defined)[5]. How do we know the values are fine-tuned? We know through math that most of the values in the parameters will not allow life to exist if these values were smaller or larger. This means we don't need to know what values don't produce life, just the relevant values of the constants that do produce a life permitting universe. REASEARCH QUESTIONS According to philosophy, there cannot be an infinite amount of time because Time is by definition a series of "moments". The nature of a moment is "a beginning of the future and an end of the past." The assumption of an absolutely first moment would consequently carry with it the implication of a period of which is terminated by, and prior to, that first moment, and the prior time would itself contain moments. Thus, if time was eternal in the past, we would have never have arrived at this point, which means there has to be an absolute first cause. This has been evident when scientists try to map and implement the idea of infinite "sets" upon the real world and has "lead to severe calculational problems in the mathematical modeling of ensembles of universes or universe domains, blocking any meaningful application of probability calculus" [6]. Now, science has empirical evidence showing how the universe itself had a beginning starting with the Big Bang singularity. However, "this was not just any old bang from a simple beginning, but a great expansion of exquisitely arranged magnitude containing galaxies, planets, stars and all other heavenly bodies" [7]. The other important aspect of this extraordinary order following the big bang was the creation of our habitable planet Earth. So the question before us is this, if there is even a cause at all, what force is ultimately responsible for all the known phenomena and complexity within the universe? If a great order arose from an expansion, then it should be understood that the intervention of an intelligence was involved in every moment of this expansion. Furthermore, we can probably infer that this intelligence created and sustains the universe and the earth with humanity in mind, but the other question becomes "why". What are the ultimate goal of this designer and the overall purpose of life? CHARACTERIZATIONS AND MEASUREMENTS 1. Omni-present, Eternal, and Immaterial The Law of Cause and Effect states that for every effect there must be a cause for it and the Law of Biogenesis states that life (as we know it) only arises from pre-existing life. Both these physical laws together indicate that whatever is responsible for this complexity and all known phenomena must have been an eternal life force without Spacial and Temporal properties that programmed the first self-replicating DNA molecule along with the universe itself. It must be eternal and therefore changeless without the universe because it created time. Since it also created space, it must transcend space as well and must therefore be dimensionless/immaterial not physical. Lastly, it must be a personal mind since DNA contains information and, according to information theory, information only comes from minds [8]. Thus, the properties of this cause would be omni-present, eternal, and immaterial as well as a personal force. In the next round, I will provide the rest of the characterizations and measurements for this cause [1] http://arxiv.org... [2] http://arxiv.org... [3] John D. Barrow and Frank J.
