Engineers Have an 'Ear' for Natural Design
ICR ^ | June 19, 2009 | Brian Thomas, M.S.

Posted on 06/20/2009 6:50:28 PM PDT by GodGunsGuts

The human ear is an amazing device. In a recent press release, an MIT engineer said that the ear is “like a super radio with 3,500 parallel channels.”[1] In fact, its design inspired the development of a new space and energy-saving radio receiver chip...

Some smart engineers are learning how to benefit mankind by mimicking God’s amazing biological designs...Ping!

THe Engineers better add another 1000 ch’s then they’ll have “Mommy Ears”.

For some people, for example, the Democrats have only selective hearing, only hear what they want to hear..

I think I respond more when I don’t hear anything! That’s when they’re up to something. :)

Maybe that's why I find the idea of evolution so laughable. I have a degree in mechanical engineering, and as a mechanical engineer, I can tell you that the human musculo-skeletal system is far more complex than the most complicated machine. The level of complexity is staggering. At the very least, the human body is many orders of magnitude greater in complexity than the finest watch or robot. But we really don't even know how many orders of magnitude greater in complexity, because we don't know what we don't yet know.

Think of the human body as an engineering problem. Your job is to design a machine to the following specifications. This machine must:

-Begin at the size of a speck and self-organize to a final weight of 180lb.
-It will be fueled by animal meat, vegetation, air and sunshine.
-It must be able to self-heal.
-It must be able to travel over land, climb up and over objects, and through water.
-It must remain functioning for 30 years.
-It must generate copies of itself with the same capabilities.
-The machine must be able to measure sound, pressure, light, flavor, and odor.
-It must be easily able to differentiate objects.

You get the idea. Anyway, present that list to any engineer or any group of engineers, and they'll laugh their butts off.

Good post. I enjoyed reading it. We have no idea of the awesomeness of God - we just know He is.

...and then you just take just one of it’s systems, the cardiac system for instance and realize it’s broken down into electrical, chemical, and mechanical subsets...and if you examine cardiac muscle/tissue/cells under a microscope, you see that it actually pulsates, and “beats” if you will, purposefully, rhythmically.

I am an engineer. I would not bid on this job. :)

And what you have stated is just the tip of the iceberg.

“Engineers can learn a great deal from studying today’s copies of the biological systems that were created roughly 6,000 years ago.”

Only the ones who couldn't pass biology.

When are you going to get it through your head? There are thousands of examples that unequivocally show the earth is far, far older than your cooked up number. It's hard for me to believe anyone could be that stupid.

The tip of the iceberg. Consider the eye. It does things that engineers and software types cannot even begin to approach. I recently heard someone speak on trying to do just that in connection with missile defense projects for the Pentagon. He then went to medical school where he learned that the eye was capable of doing things far greater than what he had just spent several years and millions of dollars designing. He knew from personal experience that something so complex could not have possibly just evolved.

I’m not the one we all have to answer to...don’t take my word for it, take His.
