Q&A: How far does the design argument remain a continuing proof despite its weaknesses?

Question by Lucy B: How far does the design argument remain a continuing proof despite its weaknesses?

This is a 9 mark question- I’m a little stuck with this. Any help appreciated (no stupid answers though! =P)

Best answer:

Answer by Scott
The first analogy to describe this argument (the design argument, also known as the telelogical argument) for the existence of God goes like this…

Imagine you are walking alone through the desert and found an analog watch. You pick it up and examine all of its fantastic, little working and moving parts. To your amazement the watch works. It has stunning levels and complexity. You conjecture to yourself that there is no way the sand just swirled together coincidentally one morning to create all this working parts. Not only because each one is so complex but more importantly because of the improbability of all of them working in unison together (being interdependent on the design functionality of every other part) by chance. You therefore (correctly in this case) infer that there must be a design to this watch and therefore also a designer.

In this analogy, the design of the watch infers the existence of a watch-maker. This logic is sound. At least, insofar as it applies to level of the watch, the logic is sound. But does this logic also apply upwards to level of God and His universe? Furthermore, why is the logic sound even at the level of the watch analogy?

Dealing with this second question first (why the logic holds) I would like to refer to the debate about whether an infinite amount of monkeys at an infinite amount of typewriters, smashing their monkey fists into the keys would ever produce a Shakespearean sonnet. The old answer to the question was that, given a sufficiently long enough period of time, they would produce a Shakespearean eventually. The logic is that:

Infinite period of time = infinite chance to produce every possible permutation.
_______________________________________________________________
Therefore, it is possible a Shakespearean sonnet could be re-produced by a monkey
+
Therefore, it is possible a watch could be re-produced by an accidental swirling of sand particles

The scientific non-feasibility of this prospect is not relevant. No one who advocates for this position actually believes that science would predict such an event. Indeed, such an event it quintessentially unscientific. The point, however, is that it is possible.

Thus, even if we allow for infinite permutation from infinite time at this theoretical level we must remind ourselves that (in our world, at least as far as we know) time is not infinite. Therefore, these hypotethical monkey/watch metaphors do not explain the incredible complexity and design of the watch.

That is to say, our hypothetical monkey authors do not explain God out of the picture. Because time is finite, it seems more probable that a designer was involved in the process of creating that watch/world/universe.

The question now is how to define that designer. Is it a religious entity? A natural process? An infinity we can barely grasp or understand?

Whether you are religious or atheistic/agnostic I believe humility is wisest intellectual course of action on this topic?

I would much rather discuss these issues with somone who claims that they are:
(1) not convince either way, but…
(2) extremely curious and passionate about the question,
than someone who is entirely convinced of their answer and so sure of themselves that the door to further knowledge is closed shut forever.

That is to say, I am humble enough to admit that I do not have all the answers with certainty. And because I believe that there are many people like me alive today (and will continue to be for years to come) I therefore believe that the telelogical proof for the existence of God will continue to illicit insightful debate no matter how many scientific papers are published on the subject of evolution and no matter how many author claim they have disproved the design argument for once and for all.

This is a very open question, as many books have been written on this topic. If you can be more specific, that will help.

I’ve designed a fair number of products with this in mind, but, it takes a lot of text to go into details.

7 Interior Design Mistakes to Avoid

Edit Article |

Posted: Dec 12, 2008 |Comments: 0

]]>

If you are just beginning a new project, invest a moment to read about “The 7 Interior Design Mistakes”. Here we discuss 7 common mistakes that can prevent your project from reaching your design goals.

1. Don’t Forget… “The Wow Effect”

We have all seen it before. At times it is almost impossible to describe. Everyone is trying to create this dramatic effect in their home or business, but it is very elusive. There truly is an art to creating “The Wow Effect”. Most Architects and Interior Designers will look back on their careers, and reflect on one or two projects that they are most proud of. On those occasions, they were able to bring all of the elements together and create… “The Wow Effect”.

When you are just beginning your next project, set the visual and effect goals for the project very high. If members of your design team can see that you are not passionate about the project, they will follow your lead, resulting in a less than dramatic effect.

There will be many days, when it seems like every idea that is presented, falls short of creating the drama. When this happens, sleep on it, and take your ideas with you to bed. Think about the emotion and sense the completed vision of your project. The next day, you will be amazed at the variety of ideas that will present themselves. Not sure why this works… just know that it does.

2. Oops… Clearly Identify The Vision Of Your Project

Often times when we are beginning a new project, we are so eager to get started, we will hurry out, choose our favorite wall color, and start painting. Next, we will begin our search for the other layers of the project. Unfortunately, many times the effect does not always create the drama we had hoped for.

Important – At the very beginning of any project, and before anything is purchased, painted, or papered, you must visualize the entire project from beginning to end. You may find a dramatic finish, texture, or fabric, which would require a different shade of paint or change the direction of the project completely.

Most people will minimize the importance of this step. You will invest a lot of time working this process. But, if you truly wish to create a dramatic project, you must visually complete your project from beginning to end. There is no easy way to do this. The more detailed the specifics, the greater the chance for a dramatic effect.

3. Funding… Establish an Interior Design Budget

It is so important to identify a budget for your Interior Design Project. The cost for ideas can swing dramatically in price. Once you have established your budget, this will provide the needed structure, and will ensure your project is completed on time.

Through the design process, new ideas will be introduced, which may raise your budget. Many Interior Design projects are completed in phases. Most of us do not have unlimited funds.

Clearly identifying the approximate cost of the entire project, will give you the needed structure for this process.

At this point you can make the decision whether to divide your project into phases. Breaking your project into Interior Design phases ensures that your Interior Design Project will have funding, without settling for a collection of design effects that may fall short of your initial vision.

You can now focus on creating the vision and the drama, without becoming overwhelmed with the financial numbers of the project. Do not begin your Interior Design project, until you have established an Interior Design budget for the entire project. This will become the foundation for the project, and will release your energy to focus on … Creative and Dramatic Interior Design.

4. Capturing Your Ideas, Always Begin with a …”Design Board”

Dramatic Interior Design ideas are like the wind. You need to capture all new ideas as they appear. Most people do not do this, but this is such an important step.

When you are creating your design project, put all of your ideas on a presentation board or design board. These are often called concept boards or mood boards.

It is much easier to test new colors, fabrics, textures, or ideas. You will sense when “The Wow Effect” magic is beginning to happen and your Interior Design project is taking form.

Focusing your creative energy is critical to creating “The Wow Effect”. There are no short cuts or easy ways to create dramatic design. We have all seen Interior Design Projects, where an investment of a little more thought, and creative focus, may have produced a more dramatic effect.

When all of your ideas are placed on a design board, visually, you will be able to sense what is creating drama and what is not working. Introducing new ideas is much easier and the process will start to flow.

Finally, you will never forget the moment, when everything is working, and your design project is taking form. It is almost like a “Runners High”. All of the elements are finally coming together, creating the dramatic vision of your project.

If you truly wish to create “The Wow Effect”, do not skip this critical step. Your investment is too great, not to ensure a final dramatic effect. Always use a design board or concept board on any Interior Design project.

5. Understanding … The Principles of Layering Color, Texture, and Effect

Think about it, almost everything that is appealing to the eye, was created with layers of Color, Texture, and Effect. Visually, we love to admire things that incorporate the “Principles of Layering”.

Color and Texture are the tools you work with, and Effect is that intangible that is generated when you bring the layers together.

Think of the seasons, how in the Fall, the colors naturally compliment each other. If the wrong colors were introduced, the final effect would be much different.

Your layers will include, your Floor Plan or Unique Spaces of Opportunity, Paint, Italian Venetian Plaster, Faux Finish, Wallpaper, Ceiling Finish, Flooring, Fabrics, Furniture, Drapery, Lighting, Accessories, and Plants.

There truly is an art to layering. On your design board you will learn first hand about the principles of layering. Your senses will tell you immediately what is working and what is not creating drama.

Invest some time to learn more about “The Principles of Layering”. There are many good books on this interesting subject. Dramatic Interior Design can only be created in layers.

6. You are the Director … “The Importance of Staging”

Staging is the process of creating the mood, ambiance, and feelings, for a designated are. This is such an important step to learn.

Correctly staging the area that… precedes your next area of opportunity, is critical to creating “The Wow Effect”.

If you have too many colors, decorative items, or visual confusion going on in the staging area, this can and will distract from your unique spaces of opportunity.

Staging will create the maximum effect and control the visual emotion as you move through your home. Drama and effect are rarely created by accident.

Remember, “You Are The Director”. How you set the stage, light the room, choose yours colors and texture, will determine the success of your Interior Design Project.

Learn more about the “Importance of Staging” and “How to Stage you Home”. If this is done correctly, walking through your home will be like reading a great novel. You cannot wait to get to the next room or chapter.

7. Looking for Ideas? … Share a Coffee with an Interior Designer

Everyone is always interested in a good idea. If you feel you would like to discuss your ideas and your project with someone else, I would strongly encourage you to meet with an Interior Designer or Interior Decorator.

There is no obligation for this meeting, but you will be surprised how your project will become focused almost immediately. Ask around to your friends for referrals, to view some of there previous projects, and also discuss their fees.

Everyone will not need an Interior Designer. But there may be times, when the layers of your Interior Design project are not coming together. When this happens, meeting with an Interior Designer may be one of the best decisions you ever make.

Finally, creating “Dramatic Interior Design” is a challenging process. You will spend many days of struggle and effort. At times the tension and difficulty of the process, will make you want to surrender. But I am here to tell you, if you stay with it, and invest the time…

“Someday in the still of your home, you may hear your friends or family members quietly whisper … Wow!

“At that moment, no words need to be spoken, you know in your heart, … You Did It!”

How do I get started in freelance photography/graphic design?

by William Hook

Question by bigbrighthearts: How do I get started in freelance photography/graphic design?

I like to think that for being so young, that I have pretty discernable photography and photoshop skills. I have worked for several photographers for about 4 years now, since I was 15. I don’t want to go into business for myself, but I would like to somehow break into the business. I know these are stupid questions, but I am terribly excited and confident in myself. Any suggestions would be extremely appreciated.

Best answer:

Answer by Phi
Talk to the photographers you have worked with, they know you better than I do. Ask them for direction and if you can pick up some of their overflow. Then start contacting other photographers and graphic designers and printers.

What is product liability?

Product liability law allows consumers to seek compensatory damages for injury or property damage resulting from their use of a defective product. A defective product is one that is unreasonably dangerous when used as the designer or manufacturer intended. Automotive defects, dangerous prescription drugs, and improperly labeled food products are just a few examples of defective products. It is the consumer’s job to prove the product is unreasonably dangerous, was in the same condition when the consumer used it as when it was sold and that injury occurred.

What should I do if I am injured by a defective product?

If you or a loved one is injured by a defective product, seek medical assistance. Then see a lawyer, because a qualified personal injury attorney can help you file a product liability claim. You have legal rights if catastrophic injury or wrongful death has occurred. Your personal injury attorney will work hard to ensure you are compensated for your suffering according to all applicable laws.

Who is responsible for ensuring safe products?

Companies or individuals who design, manufacture, distribute, or sell products are legally responsible for ensuring their products are safe. Product liability law is somewhat different from other types of law in that the responsible party can be held liable for your injuries even if all reasonable precautions were taken to ensure a safe product. If it can be proven that the product is defective, and that your injuries were caused by the defective product, the responsible party is automatically liable.

What are some types of defective product cases?

Design defects: A design flaw occurs when the product is designed. One good example is a baby’s car seat that does not provide adequate support in a crash. If a product defect originates with a design flaw, the product’s designer may be liable for illness, injury or death caused by the defect.

Manufacturing defects: A manufacturing defect may cause a product to perform in a way the designers did not intend. This has nothing to do with the design but is a problem with the manufacturing technique, materials used, or other issues. A good example is a braking system on a car that does not function properly and causes the driver to have an accident.

Failure to warn: Failure to warn is a type of marketing defect occurring when a consumer is injured by a potentially dangerous product for which he or she was not adequately warned. For example, not listing a common allergic ingredient on a label, or manufacturing a product knowing it may be dangerous to those who use it.

Can I sue for injuries received from a product I borrowed?

In the past, “privity of contract” had to exist between the injured party and the seller to begin a lawsuit. In other words, only the purchaser of the product could claim an injury caused by product defect. Today, most states no longer have this requirement. If you are injured by a product you borrowed from a neighbor or a family member, for example, you may still be able to recover damages for your injuries.

Do I need a defective product attorney to file a lawsuit?

You can be sure that the defendant’s lawyers will attempt to discredit your defective product claim by claiming you injured yourself using the product incorrectly or negligently. An experienced defective product attorney like Craig Goldenfarb can maximize your chances of a successful resolution and help you obtain the compensation that is rightfully yours.
