On today\u2019s ID the Future <\/strong>from the vault<\/strong>, systems engineer Steve Laufmann further explores physician Howard Glicksman\u2019s 81-part Evolution News series on the human body\u2019s sophisticated architecture. Here in Part 2 of the discussion, Laufmann explains the engineering concept of coherence and the challenge it poses for evolutionary gradualism. It\u2019s all about maintaining function at every creative stage along an adaptive continuum, he says, and once we understand just how many of the body\u2019s systems and subsystems require various other systems and subsystems in order to function at all, we begin to see the monster bootstrapping problem Darwinism faces. Laufmann describes the prospect of blind evolution successfully launching a complete and functional body plan as \u201cimpossible squared.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But we do exist, so how was the impossible made possible? Via the same type of cause employed to fashion and assemble the many parts required to build a functional automobile, Laufmann says\u2014intelligent design. He and Glicksman expand this argument, and take an awe-inspiring journey through the engineering marvels of the human body, in their November 2022 book, Your Designed Body<\/em>.
