Evolving Lego Mindstorms

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the theory-of-revolution dept.

John Conner writes "With a fairly simple routine, you can model evolution with Lego Mindstorms. In this hackaday experiment, robots were created that could mate, evolve, and become extinct. Similar technology could be used in real applications for deployed robot optimization and automatic software updates. Now that physical robot replication is near, it's only a matter of time before... well... You'd better make robot friends while you can."

    Well, of course you're correct that I'm "pro-ID" in that I believe God created this universe. It was only the second part of your reply that doesn't fit:

    Fine, lets follow your premise - the Universe is so complex, ID suggests, that it must have had a designer.

    My "reason" for accepting "ID" is simply this:

    (Heb 11:3) Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
