Annual Rosa Lecture

You are invited to the School of Science, Technology and Health Speaker Series. Distinguished industry leaders will be sharing with the Biola community their diverse professional and personal insights. This event is free and open to all.

We will be featuring a speaker for annual Rosa Lecture Speaker Series. All are welcome!

This year's speaker is Dr. Stuart Burgess. Dr. Stuart Burgess is a world-leading engineering design expert and an engaging speaker. His work on spacecraft gearboxes has helped European Space Agency (ESA) produce some of the world’s largest earth observation satellites. His work on Olympic bike design has helped the British Olympic Cycling team win gold medals across three Olympics. He has received over 10 national or international awards for engineering design including the UK Clayton prize which is the most prestigious mechanical engineering award in the UK given to one individual each year. He has published over 200 papers on the science of design in engineering and biology and edited two international journals on bioengineering. He has been an invited speaker in 30 countries. He has a fascinating testimony of advocating intelligent design in academia.

Talk Title: 

Ultimate Engineering in the Human Body:
Answering claims of bad design

Talk Description: 

The talk will explain why the human body contains not just good design but ultimate levels of engineering at the limit of what is physically possible. Examples of incredible design will be shown in limb joints, the birth process, eyesight and hearing. The talk will explain how biology contains far higher levels of design sophistication than human engineering and how this points clearly to intelligent design. It will be shown how evolution predicts bad design and that this prediction spectacularly fails when the evidence is examined. The false claims of bad design by evolutionists like Lents, Hafer and Dawkins will be exposed. The talk will explain why intelligent design is also able to explain the amazing diversity of life that has existed on earth with extreme creatures such as dinosaurs, deep-sea fish and extremophiles.
