aquila48: " Sorry you’re missing out on Myers arguments - you might learn something you didn’t know... or are you one of those “settled science” guys?"

Strictly speaking, no science is ever fully "settled".
All ideas & facts are subject to falsification at any time by new data or better ideas.
That's a key condition making natural-science fundamentally different from any religion.

As for your Myers FRiend, I'll repeat my guess that most or all of those arguments have been posted & debated at length on these threads.
Unless you know of some great new idea that somehow escaped us so far?

Take a look at those books, what have you got to lose?

I’m an engineer myself, agnostic and formerly a believer in evolution (though always had some lingering doubts) , and quite skeptical. It changed my mind.

Myers has a PhD in philosophy of science as well as a strong background in biology. His rigorous arguments are strictly based on evidence and sound logic not religious arguments.

Both books are true tours de force. Your local library probably has them.

I would start with “Signature in the Cell” which is more about the origin of life and the machinery of the cell. “Darwin’s Doubt” is more about Darwinian evolution. Both are rather substantial volumes.
