Melissa and Joe have uprooted their family a few times in the last 12 years, and they even moved back into a former house. They tried many times over five years to sell their Montville, New Jersey mansion, which proved to be a difficult undertaking. Ultimately, extensive renovations helped them unload the property. The New York Post reported that the couple took out a $500,000 loan to finance the build-out of their new abode, which was designed and reconstructed by Joe Gorga through his home-building company. Melissa Gorga shared a sneak peek at the house with her 2.7 million Instagram followers late last year when the family officially moved into the residence. When the Gorgas originally moved into their home, some critics took issue with the multiple peaked rooftops, off-center door placement, and two dozen ”tiny” black-rimmed windows on the front.

Now, as Melissa showed in a December 4 Instagram video, the room is complete — and it’s not only spacious but also incredibly stunning. Yes, both Melissa and Joe announced the move in November 2022 on their social media accounts. The family even had a little time to decorate their new digs for the Christmas holiday, which they celebrated in the mansion. But others took issue with Gorga’s explanation for the redesign. “None of this was your vision you changed the whole house after everyone said it was ugly. Live your life and don’t let people tell you what to love,” another wrote to Gorga.

Just behind the home is an in-ground swimming pool, which Melissa was seen standing beside as one of her sons was nearby. And while the majority of the clip showcased the family’s new backyard, Antonia also showed off the front of their home, which is absolutely massive. She added that the size and the style of the home inspired her to officially part ways with her family's Montville, New Jersey, mansion in Dec. 2020. Press play on the video above to see Melissa and Joe talk about their goals for their new home during the early stages of the construction process. In before and after photos shared by All About the Real Housewives on Instagram, the updates were seen clearly. Melissa Gorga‘s 5,000-square-foot Franklin Lakes, New Jersey, mansion is “finally” complete.

It's always funny because (people she meets) ask, ‘How’s Antonia? I feel like they truly know us because they've watched us grow for the last 14 years on TV." The wildly popular "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" will start its 14th season sometime this year on Bravo. In January the Gorga's began construction on their new mansion that they designed with an architect. The Gorga's moved into their new mansion on the same day that their Christmas lights were being put up around their spacious home. The Real Housewives of New Jersey star, 43, got started early on the Christmas decorations and covered their home in holiday lights before they fully moved in.

There are also rumors that Joe Gorga has allegedly been caught shoplifting from Home Depot and banned from certain New Jersey locations. “You took a bad design and transformed it into something better 👏,” one commenter wrote. According to the New York Post, in 2021 the Gorgas paid just under $1 million for the property with plans to deconstruct the existing home on it and rebuild. Construction of the dream home was helmed by Joe Gorga himself. Gorga’s new photo featured a look at the front of her house, complete with a renovated roofline, an expanded front porch, and the addition of black-trimmed atrium-style windows. “Finally finished 🖤,” Gorga captioned the photo, before thanking Plan Architecture of Bergen County, New Jersey.

Others compared the design to a SIMs house from the longtime video game series. She did not mention that she was unhappy with the exterior of the home at that time. Since moving into a new house with her family at the end of 2022, Melissa Gorga has shown off the stunning kitchen, glam office, chic exterior, and spacious closets. In her most recent Instagram share, The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member gave details on her incredibly gorgeous new bedroom, and we’re obsessed.

Holiday decorating definitely seems to be a top priority in the Gorga household since Melissa made sure to get her Christmas lights up before unpacking. A photo of the outside of the Gorga mansion lit-up was posted to the company's Instagram page with an appreciative caption for the "Queen of Reality TV's" business. The beautiful lights were installed by the New Jersey-based holiday lighting company K.E.D Lighting.

There was also a white marble wall to the side which featured a built-in fireplace and TV mounted into the wall. We also spotted two footstools, a white armchair, and a light gray credenza with a round-shaped mirror mounted above against the wall, presumably a vanity or getting-ready space. Additionally, when Melissa zoomed in, we got a view of some beautiful white cabinets with glass doors surrounding the stove. Ruelas added that Teresa's daughters care for him like he's family, sharing a sweet moment he had with Gabriella when her mom was out of town. "The girls embrace Louie, and it's beautiful," Teresa told PEOPLE.

"Little Louie hangs out with the girls all the time, they go out together. I treat him like he's my own, and of course, Nicholas, too." One thing that could add more stress to the Gorgas’ relationship is a cross-country move. The couple put their New Jersey mansion on the market a year ago and, should the right offer come along, Melissa says they’re entertaining a move to Los Angeles. Melissa says fans of RHONJ will get to see those struggles play out on season nine of the show. Pursuing her passions (the show and her store) has turned out to be a double-edged sword for the TV personality, who cops to feeling immense “mom guilt” when she’s not tending to her family. Unfortunately for Bravo fans, Melissa will most likely not be giving any follow-up tunes to her beloved classic dance single from over a decade ago, called "On Display."

Soon after, however, Instagram user Caley Svensson, of Park Ridge, New Jersey, reposted the image on her Instagram Story, claiming that the "after" photo was her house — and it had not been flipped by Joe. Melissa and Joe’s house looks a million times better, no doubt. It is funny that Melissa can’t just own the fact that she and Joe screwed up on the design of their home and needed to do a major overhaul with the help of a REAL architect. Clearly, Melissa couldn’t stand that her house was the laughing stock of the Bravoverse, and honestly, I can’t blame her because I’d be mortified as well. Melissa and Joe’s house looked horribly ugly before, but now it actually gives modern farmhouse vibes. The RHONJ couple moved into their Franklin Lakes home last November; however, less than two months later, they were renovating the exterior of their home.

Before moving back into the Montville pad, Melissa and Joe made some big changes. (Watch the video above for a look inside the updated kitchen.) "I did recently just do a whole renovation," she told E! No longer feeling the warm color palette with gold touches, Melissa opted for a brighter and airier aesthetic this time around. "I just came in and made everything white," she told the publication.

Gorga, sister-in-law of resident antagonist Teresa Giudice, appeared briefly in season two and became a regular in season three, in 2011. Many fans of Gorga’s — aka Team Melissa — appreciate the show and what she, along with Joe and the kids, bring to it. "When the queen of reality TV wants Christmas lights….we light it up!!!" the caption said. This has to be one of the most organized closets I've ever seen. Organizing consultant and Netflix superstar Marie Kondo would be proud. You'd probably never expect to hear the words "minimalist" and "mansion" in the same sentence.

Reality Blurb was created to bring readers the latest and up to date reality TV news, updates and exclusive interviews. We cover an array of reality shows as well as reality television stars. In addition to her kitchen, Melissa recently brought us into her bedroom as she tried on several fashionable 'fits.

In July 2021, the reality stars kicked off the first day of construction with BravoTV.com and explained their decision to demolish the existing home and build from the ground up. The finished interior is everything Melissa ever dreamed of — because she designed it herself, of course. "Big closet, big kitchen, that's all I asked for," she told BravoTV.com of the project.

After moving into the home last November, Melissa took fans inside as she showed off her impeccably decorated office, which features built-in shelving and a large chandelier. When asked if the rumors she's faced with her husband have in any way made their bond more unbreakable, Melissa reflected, "I'm not going to say it strengthened it, but I will say, like, there's a lot of outside noise, especially on reality television." One of the first -- and most important -- destinations on the tour was Melissa's stunning, chic, glass-walled office space, which she said was "a must" when it came to designing the house. In addition to completing the dreamy outdoor area, Melissa and Joe have also recently made some interior changes. In March, Melissa revealed that she had replaced the black fabric chandeliers in the foyer with a new one made of brass and crystals. As Joe showed in his video, there is a grassy area with white pavers between the pool and the house, and one flight up is a covered porch with a mounted television and plenty of seating.

"She puts the time in," Joe said adoringly of his wife's business savvy. Melissa and her husband, Joe Gorga, exclusively chatted with OK! Press play on the video above to see what Melissa and Joe’s house looked like before they transformed it. She’s also an inspiration for women, he says, especially moms in business. Gorga herself believes the family aspect separates "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" from the other franchise installments.

While the brunette beauty rocked everything from navy blue trousers to a hot pink slip dress, we got a view of more of the room's sandy wood floors along with a large white area rug that seemed to be peeking out from the room's bed. The Real Housewives of New Jersey star, 50, revealed her plan to move to California with her new husband, Luis Ruelas, on the latest episode of her podcast Namaste B$tches, released on Wednesday, Jan. 18. “I've always been a very hands-on mom and I always will be, but you have to kinda pass the workload on to other people a little bit if you wanna go and do what you're doing in life and that's been very hard for us, very hard,” Melissa shares. The Real Housewives of New Jersey couple’s white and neutral “kitchen space takes priority” in their new home. “Joe has a big impact on the show as far as the men go, that men love to watch it, too,” says Gorga.

“I love me a hot construction worker, especially when it’s Joe Gorga,” she quipped in an interview. In Season 6, Melissa was over the moon while watching Joe break ground on the property they had purchased in Franklin Lakes, New Jersey, which is approximately 16 miles from Montville. Another image gave fans a closer look at the light fixtures, which feature rings of rhinestones. Days later, Melissa took her online audience inside her and Joe’s new home, sharing yet another video slideshow that featured their two-story foyer. About halfway through the March 21 sitdown, Luann was asked to review a handful of songs by reality TV figures, including Vanderpump Rules’s Scheana Shay and The Real Housewives of New Jersey’s Melissa Gorga.

After a realtor gave the feedback that they'd never sell the house at such a high price point without a pool, they decided to revamp the backyard. "We finished putting the pool in," Melissa explained, noting that the project took 10 months to complete. In one image, three elaborate black light fixtures were seen hanging from a tray ceiling. Melissa and Joe’s home features two large black doors at the front of the property. Luckily, The Real Housewives of New Jersey mom, who moved into the gorgeous abode in November 2022, got what she wished for (and then some), with a sprawling kitchen we can't get enough of.

Melissa Gorga is opening the doors of her new mansion to ET's cameras, and giving an exclusive tour of her sprawling and lavish residence. She’ll never have to worry about having enough counter space with this ginormous island. The spacious wall is filled with designer heels that pile up from the floor to the ceiling.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey couple is ready for summer with a stunning new pool and backyard. It also included a set of black-fabric chandeliers in the foyer that fans said resembled jellyfish, according to the New York Post. In February 2022, Melissa gave BravoTV.com an update on the status of their new home build — and it wasn't all going to plan. Despite their love for the Toms River getaway, Melissa and Joe got an itch to find a new location for a vacation property. "They are looking to buy in the Hamptons," a rep for Melissa told BravoTV.com in September 2021. "They have spent summers down the shore since they were married and are looking to change it up."

A system icon, or UI icon, symbolizes a command, file, device, or directory. System icons are also used to represent common actions like trash, print, and save. A soft tint above all elements to provide surface lighting, fading from upper-left to lower-right. System icons represent a command, file, device, directory, or common actions.

Gridicons

Taking a lighter spin on Google's Material Design guidelines, MDI Light slims down icons to be modern, crisp, and clean. SVG files are available in the directory “svg”, followed by icon name. Each directory contains up to 5 SVG files, one for each icon variation.

Setup Method 1. Using via Google Fonts

IOS has the concept of a UISemanticContentAttribute that is attached to each view. This can be unspecified, forceLeftToRight, forceRightToLeft, playback or spatial. IOS uses this value and the (left-to-right (LTR)/RTL setting of the device presenting the interface to determine the effectiveLayoutDirection of the view. This effectiveLayoutDirection determines whether or not to mirror an image when it is displayed. Icons should only be mirrored if their direction matches other UI elements in RTL mode. When an icon represents visual features of your website that are different in RTL, then the icon should also be mirrored in RTL.

Material Design Iconic Font

The Vector Drawable is currently only available as a black 24dp icon. This is for compatibility with our most standard icon size. To render the icon in a different color, use drawable tinting available on Android Lollipop. To get SVG files, you can either clone GitHub repository or install @material-icons/svg NPM package.

Edge tint and shade

Adequate space around the icon is needed to allow for legibility and touch. The example below shows how to implement a simple RTL CSS rule. For more in-depth documentation on how to implement RTL on iOS and macOS, please review Apple's RTL documentation.

The complete set of material icons are available on the material icon library. The icons are available for download in SVG or PNGs, formats that aresuitable for web, Android, and iOS projects or for inclusion in any designertools. We have made these icons available for you to incorporate them into yourproducts under the Apache License Version 2.0. Feel free to remix and re-share these icons and documentation in yourproducts. We'd love attribution in your app's about screen, but it's not required.

File Icons

Maintain a 2dp width for all stroke instances, including curves, angles, and both interior and exterior strokes. Consistent corner radiuses are key to unifying the overall system icon family. A 2dp corner radius is used on the silhouette form of the icon. Do not round the corners of strokes (shapes 2dp wide or less). Icon content is limited to the 16dp x 16dp live area, with 2dp of padding around the perimeter.

If you need a different size, change width and height attributes in the icon. SVG files are scalable, duplicating them for different sizes is pointless. Tinted edges highlight the top edge of elements (the left, right, and bottom edges are not tinted). To provide a sense of depth, treatments are applied to the top and bottom edges of Material Design elements. Android O icons represent your app on a device's Home and All Apps screens. The following guidelines describe how icons can receive unique visual treatments, animations, and behaviors.

If you need another format, please open an issue on this repository and specify what format, size and colour you need. Avatars must fit within the 30x30 dp space and be centered, vertically and horizontally, within the live area. Standard shortcut icons have a Material system icon centered within the live area. Don’t distort the icon by having unequal width and height values. Icons should have equal width and height (e.g. 24x24) to avoid distorting the icon. Do position icons “on pixel” – meaning the X and Y coordinates are integers and do not contain decimals.

Maybe one day these icons will be merged into the official repository. The “master” branch includes few custom icons as well as fixed icons that were slightly modified (such as “outline” icon being changed to have the outline). The “original” branch includes only icons from material.io with some bug fixes. Iconify project makes it easy to add SVG icons to websites and offers over 100,000 icons to choose from. This readme explains how to use updated icons set in your projects.

Material Design Icons is the official icon set from Google. The icons are designed under the material design guidelines. Within the material environment, virtual lights illuminate the scene and allow objects to cast shadows. A top light cast on material elements creates a contact shadow while highlighting the top and bottom edges. An angled light reinforces the sense of surface across the elements. Android expects product icons to be provided at 48dp, with edges at 1dp.

To ensure color harmony, follow the appropriate value for each. A soft shadow around all edges of a raised material element. Shade is the mixture of a color with a darker hue, which darkens the original color. By default on the web, icons are not mirrored when the layout direction is mirrored.

• 1 The Argument from Fine-Tuning for the Multiverse as An Inference to An Anthropic Explanation?

He authored a book "Gematria Refigured," which presents a rational, nonmystical approach to gematria as a tool of uncovering the significance of quantity and fine-tuning in Torah, life, and the universe. Multiverse scientists can get out of this problem if they can establish the third premise - that our universe is a typical, or a likely universe with intelligent observers. If so, scientists would only be able to explain our universe as a result of random chance but wouldn’t be able to equally explain all other possible universes with intelligent observers (like those with heavenly voices falsifying the multiverse).

The Scientifically Legitimate Uses of Design Inferences

But although gaps would profoundly strengthendesign arguments, they have their suite of difficulties. Gaps areusually easy to spot in cases of artifactuality (take the radioexample, again), but although they may be present in nature,establishing their existence there can usually be done (byscience, at least) only indirectly—via probabilityconsiderations, purported limitations on nature’s abilities,etc. Schema 2, not being analogically structured, would not be vulnerableto the ills of analogy,[3] and not being inductive would claim more than mere probability forits conclusion. Indeed, it has been arguedthat Paley was aware of Hume’s earlier attacks on analogicaldesign arguments, and deliberately structured his argument to avoidthe relevant pitfalls (Gillispie 1990, 214–229). In response, one might be tempted to argue that there is one context in which scientists employ the design inference without already having sufficient reason to think the right sort of intelligent agency exists. As is well-known, researchers monitor radio transmissions for patterns that would support a design inference that such transmissions are sent by intelligent beings.

The Design Argument — six critical questions

[S]uppose I found a watch upon the ground, and it should be inquired how the watch happened to be in that place, I should hardly think...that, for anything I knew, the watch might have always been there. Yet why should not this answer serve for the watch as well as for [a] stone [that happened to be lying on the ground]? The Universe troubles me, and much less can I thinkThat this clock exists and should have no clockmaker. [S]uppose I found a watch upon the ground, and it should be inquired how the watch happened to be in that place, I should hardly think … that, for anything I knew, the watch might have always been there.

3 Inferences to the Best Explanation/Abductive Design Arguments: Schema 3

Science need not be seen as exhausting the space of legitimateconclusions from empirical data. In any case, the floods of vitriolflowing from bothsides in the current ID discussion suggest that much more than thepropriety of selected inferences from particular empirical evidencesis at issue. It is not uncommon for humans to find themselves with the intuitionthat random, unplanned, unexplained accident justcouldn’t produce the order, beauty, elegance, andseeming purpose that we experience in the natural world around us. AsHume’s interlocutor Cleanthes put it, we seem to see “theimage of mind reflected on us from innumerable objects” innature (Hume 1779 [1998], 35). And many people find themselvesconvinced that no explanation for that mind-resonance whichfails to acknowledge a causal role for intelligence, intent andpurpose in nature can be seriously plausible. Also starting already in classical Greece, two approaches to the teleological argument developed, distinguished by their understanding of whether the natural order was literally created or not.

There is nothing that has been said here that necessitates that the designer is intelligent, purposeful, or even meaningful in the designs that we observe. If this were true, then the Teleological Argument would also be proved and we would quite easily know the purposes of existence. However, showing that there is a concerted intelligence in the apparent design is another step. Regardless, if there is no explanation using scientific understandings and laws that fully explain how we have come to exist as we are, then the BDA has done its work.

Creation science and intelligent design

Are ethics an expression of the divine, or are ethics better understood separate from divine authority? To explore this topic further, students will find a helpful overview and updated references in the Stanford Encyclopedia article, "Moral Arguments for the Existence of God." A number of prominent figures historically in fact held that we coulddetermine more or less perceptually that various things in nature werecandidates for design attributions—that they were in therequisite respects design-like. Some, like William Whewell,held that we could perceptually identify some things as more than merecandidates for design (1834, 344). Thomas Reid also held a view inthis region,[13] as did Hume’s Cleanthes, and, more recently, Alvin Plantinga(2011, 263–264). Tilting the conceptual landscape via prior commitments is both anequal opportunity epistemic necessity and a potential pitfallhere.

Watches and Watchmakers

Some philosophers reframe the problem of evil as the problem of suffering to place the stress of the question on the reality of suffering versus moral agency. Alternatively, it could be argued that although there is a genuineconceptual link between appropriate Rs and mind, design,intent, etc., that typically our recognition of that link istriggered by specific experiences with artifacts. On this view, oncethe truth of (6) became manifest to us through those experiences, theappropriateness of its more general application would be clear. Thatmight explain why so many advocates of design arguments seem tobelieve that they must only display a few cases and raisetheir eyebrows to gain assent to design.

b. The Argument from Simple Analogy

Schlesinger argues that the fact that the universe is fine-tuned for life is improbable in exactly the same way that John’s winning three consecutive lotteries is improbable. After all, it is not just that we got lucky with respect to one property-lottery game; we got lucky with respect to two dozen property-lottery games—lotteries that we had to win in order for there to be life in the universe. Given that we are justified in inferring intelligent design in the case of John’s winning three consecutive lotteries, we are even more justified in inferring intelligent design in the case of our winning two dozen much more improbable property lotteries. Thus, Schlesinger concludes, the most probable explanation for the remarkable fact that the universe has exactly the right properties to sustain life is that an intelligent Deity intentionally created the universe such as to sustain life. The problem, however, is that it is the very existence of an intelligent Deity that is at issue. To justify preferring one explanation as more probable than another, we must have information about the probability of each explanation.

Modern-day biologist, Richard Dawkins, following in the footsteps of Darwin, likened evolution to a blind watchmaker that creates new life forms without any need for intelligence. A classic response to the observation that the conditions in ouruniverse seem fine-tuned for life is to infer the existence of acosmic designer who created life-friendly conditions. If oneidentifies this designer with some supernatural agent or God, theinference from fine-tuning for life to the existence of a designerbecomes a version of the teleological argument. Indeed, many regardthe argument from fine-tuning for a designer as the strongest versionof the teleological argument that contemporary science affords. Many researchers believe that the fine-tuning of the universe’slaws, constants, and boundary conditions for life calls for inferringthe existence of a divine designer (see Section 3) or a multiverse—a vast collection of universes with differinglaws, constants, and boundary conditions (see Section 4). The inference to a divine designer or a multiverse typically rests onthe idea that, in view of the required fine-tuning, life-friendlyconditions are in some sense highly improbable if there isonly one, un-designed, universe.

They form the grand relation of animated nature; universal, organic, mechanical; subsisting like the clearest relations of art, in different individuals; unequivocal, inexplicable without design. Perhaps you are the one who is confused when you assert that physical constants are completely undetermined. Perhaps we lack the understanding that physical constants just ARE in the same way that mathematical constants just ARE. Aaron Zimmer, cohost of the Physics to God podcast, earned a physics degree and received rabbinical ordination from Rabbi Yisrael Chait. Aaron then utilized his personal resources to venture into commodity futures trading, such as oil, natural gas, cotton, sugar, and coffee.

Swinburne acknowledges that his argument by itself may not give a reason to believe in the existence of God, but in combination with other arguments such as cosmological arguments and evidence from mystical experience, he thinks it can. We see that things which lack knowledge, such as natural bodies, act for an end, and this is evident from their acting always, or nearly always, in the same way, so as to obtain the best result. Hence it is plain that they achieve their end, not fortuitously, but designedly. Now whatever lacks knowledge cannot move towards an end, unless it be directed by some being endowed with knowledge and intelligence; as the arrow is directed by the archer. Therefore, some intelligent being exists by whom all natural things are directed to their end; and this being we call God.

Furtherinvestigation of (6) requires taking a closer look at the Rswhich (6) involves. The watch does play an obvious and crucial role—but as aparadigmatic instance of design inferences rather than as theanalogical foundation for an inferential comparison. The ability to appreciate aesthetics has no evolutionary value, such that the only explanation as to why we can appreciate creation must be that God gave us the ability as a gift.

In the eyes of manyphysicists, string theory is still the most promisingcandidate “theory of everything” in that it potentiallyoffers a unified account of all known forces of nature, includinggravity. These would be the laws and constants that we haveempirical access to, and so string theory would not come close touniquely determining the laws and constants in the manner envisaged byEinstein. Einstein’s idea is that, ultimately, the laws and constants ofphysics will turn out to be dictated completely by fundamental generalprinciples. This would make considerations about alternative laws andconstants obsolete, and thereby undermine any perspective according towhich these are fine-tuned for life.

Fine-tuned universe

Anyone can see why the argument has some logical force and must be taken seriously. At the same time, it is properly judged to be weak due to the following objections (and others). Book summary views reflect the number of visits to the book and chapter landing pages.

Teleological argument

For instance, even in an artifact, mere complexityof whatever degree speaks less clearly of intent than does an engravedsentence. As most critics of design arguments point out, the examplesfound in nature are not of the “engraved sentence”sort. It is only when two species of objects are found to be constantly conjoined, that we can infer the one from the other. If experience and observation and analogy be, indeed, the only guides which we can reasonably follow in inference of this nature; both the effect and cause must bear a similarity and resemblance to other effects and causes…which we have found, in many instances, to be conjoined with another. [The proponents of the argument] always suppose the universe, an effect quite singular and unparalleled, to be the proof of a Deity, a cause no less singular and unparalleled. Fine-tuning refers to the surprising precision of nature's physical constants, and the beginning state of the Universe.

David Hume and the Design Argument: A Critical Examination

The rich diversity of African thought helps us examine evil and agency from different starting points. What if, for example, the lifting of the agency (the doing of evil) was removed entirely from the supernatural? Given the philosophical role and responsibilities that follow from the assignment of “the entity that made all things,” reconciling evil and creation and God as good becomes a problem.

To assuage this doubt, Anselm endeavored to prove the existence of God in such an irrefutable way that even the staunchest of nonbelievers would be forced, by reason, to admit the existence of a God. But even if such conceptionswere explanatorily and scientifically superfluous at that level, thatdoes not entail that they are conceptually, alethically, inferential,or otherwise superfluous in general. The role of mind might beindirect, deeply buried, or at several levels of remove from theimmediate production mechanism but would still have to be present atsome level. In short, on the above picture Darwinian evolution willnot meet condition (e) for explaining away design, which is not itselfa shortcoming of Darwinian evolution.

In mammals, the recurrent laryngeal nerve provides a connection between the brain and the larynx, though not a direct one. Instead of taking a direct route, it passes down into the chest, circles under the aorta, and ascends back up to the neck (in giraffes, this nerve is more than 2 meters long; Harrison 1995). Similarly, the mammalian vas deferens connects the testes to the urethra, but not before passing into the pelvic cavity, looping around the urinary bladder and then descending back to complete its circuitous path. Meanwhile, the urethra itself passes directly through the prostate gland, an arrangement that readily engenders urinary difficulties if the prostate becomes swollen. It is only with great effort that arrangements such as these might be characterized as optimizations rather than as simple quirks of evolutionary historyFootnote 10 (for additional examples, see Williams 1997; Shubin 2008; Coyne 2009). By looking at the watch you would see that all the coils, springs and movements all work together so that the watch is able to keep time.

The consequence will be differential reproduction down the generations—in other words, natural selection (Huxley 1953, 4). Thus, Paley argues, no matter how many generations of watches beget watches (or, by obvious implication, organisms produce offspring or cells generate daughter cells), the specific, irreducible, and purposeful arrangement of watches’ inner workings can only be attributed to the action of intelligent agency. Implicit discourse relation recognition (IDRR) is to detect and classify relation sense between two text segments without an explicit connective.

Therefore, to claim that nature as a whole was designed is to destroy the basis by which we differentiate between artifacts and natural objects. In the traditional guise of the argument from design, it is easily today's most popular argument offered in favour of the existence of God and it is seen, by an amazingly large number of theists, as completely and utterly convincing. It is indeed a very strong and, I suspect, unanswerable argument—but in precisely the opposite direction from the theist's intention. The argument from improbability, properly deployed, comes close to proving that God does not exist. My name for the statistical demonstration that God almost certainly does not exist is the Ultimate Boeing 747 gambit.

If you are for or against the principle please comment, let us know what you think of the teleological argument. The teleological or design argument is A posteriori, it uses our experience of ‘design’ in the world to argue for the existence of a designer – God. [O]ne can detect the past action of an intelligent cause from the presence of an information-rich effect, even if the cause itself cannot be directly observed. For instances, visitors to the gardens of Victoria harbor in Canada correctly infer the activity of intelligent agents when they see a pattern of red and yellow flowers spelling “Welcome to Victoria”, even if they did not see the flowers planted and arranged. Similarly, the specifically arranged nucleotide sequences—the complex but functionally specified sequences—in DNA imply the past action of an intelligent mind, even if such mental agency cannot be directly observed (Meyer 2002, 93). First, there is little reason to think that the probability of evolving irreducibly complex systems is, as a general matter, small enough to warrant assuming that the probability of the design explanation must be higher.

Though Behe states his conclusion in categorical terms (that is, irreducibly complex systems “cannot be produced gradually”), he is more charitably construed as claiming only that the probability of gradually producing irreducibly complex systems is very small. The stronger construction of the conclusion (and argument) incorrectly presupposes that Darwinian theory implies that every precursor to a fully functional system must itself perform some function that makes the organism more fit to survive. Organisms that have, say, a precursor to a fully functional cilium are no fitter than they would have been without it, but there is nothing in Darwinian theory that implies they are necessarily any less fit. Thus, there is no reason to think that it is logically or nomologically impossible, according to Darwinian theory, for a set of organisms with a precursor to a fully functional cilium to evolve into a set of organisms that has fully functional cilia. Accordingly, the argument from irreducible biochemical complexity is more plausibly construed as showing that the design explanation for such complexity is more probable than the evolutionary explanation.

This organ helps organisms to survive by permitting them to perceive objects in their environment. And were the parts of the eye even slightly different in their shape and assembly, the resulting organ would not allow us to see. Cosmic design arguments begin with an observation concerning features of the entire cosmos – the universe obeys simple laws; it has a kind of stability; its physical features permit life, and intelligent life, to exist.

Conclude that there is no sense in which life-friendlyuniverses are improbable; the probabilities are mathematicallyundefined. Intention, intervention, and other agency components of explanationscan very frequently be pushed back to prior levels—much as manydefenders of teleological arguments claim. The earlier case of thealleged poisoning of the rich uncle by the niece is a simple exampleof this. Furthermore, even within those two contexts—artifact andnature—the various Rs exhibit varying degrees ofevidential force.

Having established the connection between watches and watchmakers, Paley begins his third chapter by arguing that the principle applies equally to living organisms and their components—or indeed, more so, given that their degree of adaptive complexity is vastly greater. As he might have argued, human hands more thoroughly evince design than anything crafted by them. The design argument rejects the idea that we were created by random chance or that we exist because of a Big Bang (the scientific theory that the universe began with a huge explosion about 13.7 billion years ago). If there truly existed a multiverse containing infinitely many chaotic universes, each with random laws and constants, and our one structured universe happened to have the right laws and constants which allowed it emerge from the infinite chaos, that multiverse wouldn't exhibit design. But our observed universe does exhibit design on all orders of magnitude - from the tiniest elementary particles to the largest galaxies.

In "Witches Before Wizards", Eda did not seem to have any interest in teaching Luz about magic and only wanted to have her around to help with chores and make deliveries. Like with King, Eda cares deeply about Luz's well-being and regards the young human as her own child. After the group does some research, they learn that titan magic can cancel out the Collector's magic. As she and Lilith suggest putting the Collector in another tablet, King is against it, instead opting to try and reason with the Collector to get him to see the error of his ways.

Witches Before Wizards/Gallery

One of Eda's spells backfire due to her weakened magic, causing apple blood to splatter all over her. Confident and sassy, Eda is best described as rebellious, with Luz calling her "surprisingly foxy for her age". Her vast skills and aptitude in witchcraft give her a brash streak, as she proudly declares her power and is openly defiant of authorities, going as far as knocking a guard unconscious and flying off to avoid getting caught.

Childhood and relationship with Raine Whispers

By morning, they return to their hideout, exhausted, but proud to have helped a lot of people. Eda is impressed by Raine becoming a Coven Head despite their stage fright, to which Raine boasts that they're just that good and asks if she still knows any bard spells, to which Eda reminds them that the curse messes with her magic, which is why she stopped performing. However, Raine draws a Spell Circle and magically poofs up her bell cittern, and convinces her to play, so she plays the song Raine taught her - Raine's Rhapsody. But like before, her performance causes everything around her to shrivel and die, which interests Raine.

Lilith Clawthorne

She also keeps her amputated arm bandaged up and has cuts on her chin and forehead. In "Wing It Like Witches", it is stated by Lilith that Eda's curse affects her hair, implying it would naturally be the same orange as when she was an adolescent if she were not under the spell. Eda is a tall, slender woman in her mid-to-late 40s,[2] with ivory skin, pointed ears, maroon lips, and golden eyes. She has a removable gold fang, orange claw-like nails, and an oval amber gem on her sternum, which helped indicate when the curse was getting worse. During the Day of Unity, whilst attempting to save King from the Collector, she lost control of her curse and attacked, resulting in the Collector holding her captive in the Archive House.

Upon Luz's return, King and Eda reunite with her and aid her in befriending the Collector and destroying Belos once and for all. In the epilogue, King's developing Titan powers allow him to create a new glyph system, which he begins to teach Luz. Eda's curse begins to worsen and despite Lilith's attempts to help her, she refuses to have anything to do with her. Eda begins focusing on helping Luz achieve her goal to the point that she begins to fear that she is incapable of setting out on her own, especially due to her more happy-go-lucky way of doing things. Nevertheless, Eda starts to become more attached to Luz and even makes a cloak for her as a way of showing her appreciation for how much she has progressed as a witch in training.

Body

Just like her thoughts on magic schools, Eda does not have a high opinion on covens and has not been to a covention since she was very young. However, she reluctantly gives in when Luz and King torment her by reading The Good Witch Azura aloud. She also deeply cares about Lilith despite them both being on different sides of the law. It also seems she is afraid of losing her friends, and as such tries to ignore the idea of them leaving.

In the Owl House, Eda is inside her room going over a list of things that she needs to do, including things for Luz, King, and possibly Hooty. She then starts to laugh at herself, realizing how much she has changed, admiring a picture of her, Luz, and King from Grom. She then hears Luz and King doing some exercise, and Eda looks out the window to hear what they are talking about. Luz asks King about what he is going to do when he meets his father, and he begins to say that he will leave and ugly cry. This surprises Eda, and her closing her window gets the attention of King and Luz. King then tells Luz he isn't ready to tell Eda because he isn't sure how she'll react, not knowing that she is feeling disappointed, believing that Luz and King want to move on with their lives and leave her behind.

As her personal palisman and old friend, she notes that she would annihilate anyone who would dare harm him. As Owlbert scratches himself, Luz notices the interlock on his foot, and Eda explains that his interlock allows him to attach to his staff and only his staff. Suddenly, Eda passes out from the effects of the curse, forcing the trio to cut King's slayground time short and return home. Eda crashes on the couch, and Luz offers to get the elixir for her mentor, but she assures Luz that she can get it herself. Months later, after returning from the Human Realm, Luz, Willow, Gus, Amity, Hunter, and Camila Noceda arrived at the Owl House and find it still abandoned and covered in graffiti. They went there for a while, Luz rested in Eda's nest, Hunter stood outside, while Camila spoke with Gus and Willow for some advice, she needs to help Luz stop making a bad decision.

Luckily, Lilith, seeing the error of her ways, and Luz and King team up to rescue her from Emperor Belos and stop her execution. They succeed and Belos chooses to spare them, claiming that the Isles told him to. Lilith uses her magic to share the curse with her, slightly restoring her to normal. Eda realizes that her and Lilith's powers have diminished, now knows that she will relearn her magic, now that she is closer to Luz. Despite living with King for nearly a decade, Eda never told him about the curse that plagued her, but the curse would once again rear its beastly head to wreak havoc. After casting a force field to protect the Owl House from the boiling rains, a tired Eda is about to sleep, but Luz nags her to teach her some spells.

She has a single golden fang that sticks out, orange claw-like nails, orange earrings, and an oval amber (now black) gem on her sternum. She wears a burgundy like dress with a maroon rips at the end, she wears a slightly dark tan or gray leggings with short high-heel boots that match her dress. She is known as "The Owl Lady", due to having been cursed to become a giant and feral owl-like creature, though she managed to counter this with an elixir that prevents her from transforming. When the two finally met following Belos' final defeat, however, these fears were put to rest. When Eda nervously attempted to introduce herself to Camila alongside King with a formal handshake, Camila instantly pulled them both into a warm hug as an expression of her gratitude and acceptance for all that Edalyn had done for Luz, much to the Owl Lady's joy. Over the next four years, Eda and Camila became very close friends, occasionally getting together when the latter visited the Demon Realm alongside Luz.

Showing sympathy for him, they take him on a tour of the Boiling Isles to the sites of past adventures so they can help him understand true friendship. When Belos possesses the Titan's heart and infects the Boiling Isles, Luz sacrifices her life to save the Collector, who becomes remorseful while realizing the fragility and value of life. After Luz is restored to life by a repentant Titan, the Collector helps keep her friends and the Archive House safe, and is shown gratitude by Amity once Belos is defeated and destroyed.

One day, after overhearing her mother's plan to heal her curse using extreme measures, she became scared and ran away from home. At some point of time after that, she fixed up an old tower which belonged to her father, then built the Owl House in front of it and started living inside. Around eight years after that, she let Luz stay with her upon her request, with the condition that she must work for her.

She begins to take her job as a teacher seriously and wants Luz to be proud of her. In "Something Ventured, Someone Framed", it's revealed that Eda did not want Luz to go to Hexside School because she wanted to protect her; she did not agree with how they teach magic. However, after a conversation with Hooty, she decides to enroll Luz in Hexside, and goes to make amends with Principal Bump in order to achieve that. Four years after Belos is defeated, Eda has become headmaster of the University of Wild Magic. She has fully mastered her Harpy form and has replaced her lost right hand with a golden hook.

Despite what the future may hold, Luz and King still need her more than she realizes. Suddenly, they are captured by Darius and Eberwolf, but Eda manages to escape while Raine holds them off. Despite not wanting to leave them, she returns to the Gland Prix in time to see the winners. While drinking her sorrows away on apple blood at the Grimgrub's Pub, two emperor guards apprehend a wild witch.

Eda and Raine knew each other way back, and it was because of her they started their little rebellion after realizing the Emperor was prioritizing coven recruitments through force and punishing anyone who stood out of line. Refusing to stand for that, they carefully stood up the ranks, becoming the new Head Witch of the Bard Coven, and found people who wanted to change things. Eda sneaked into the room holding King's crown in the Conformatorium with Luz and King. Instead of arresting her, he decides to ask her out, saying he finds her alluring. Unfortunately, his crush on Eda proves to be one-sided, as Eda doesn't feel the same way about him. The two encountered each other again at the Bonesborough Brawl in "Reaching Out".

But, at the same time she is sad by the realization they will someday day leave her. But, because of the curse, her magic causes everything around her shrivel and die. Together, Eda and Raine perform Eda's Requiem and cause everything and everyone around them to shrivel and die, even themselves. Eda is prepared to make the sacrifice, but after Raine sees the picture of her with Luz and King, realizing she has a family, they stop her. However, they convince her not to abandon them so quickly and that she should confront her fears, just like Eda told them years ago. Suddenly, they are captured by Darius, but Eda manages to escape while Raine holds them off.
