William Dembski and Niall Shanks talked about whether or not the complexities of nature imply an intelligent designer, i.e. God. Mr. Dembski claimed that evidence exists to suggest that such a designer did play a role. Mr. Shanks argued that there is no scientific evidence for such a being, and the fact that scientists have not been able to answer certain questions should not be considered evidence of the existence of a higher power. Slides were shown during the presentations. Following prepared remarks, the speakers responded to questions from the audience. This discussion was the second in a series of debates, organized and hosted by the Veritas Forum at UCLA, on the scope of science. Jeffrey Schwartz and Michael Shermer, who both participated in an earlier panel, joined Mr. Dembski and Mr. Shanks in making closing remarks at the end of the program.
