Design of the Human Visual System - Dr. Randy Guliuzza



The human eye is so highly specialized that Charles Darwin mused whether his theory was not preposterous in light of the eye's complexity. Darwin should have listened to his instincts, because scientific discoveries in the last 130 years have shown that the human visual system is so complex it is absurd to attribute its development to random natural processes. This discussion will cover several of the fascinating design features of the visual system, including microscopic and gross critical interaction between visual, memory and motor centers of the brain. The inescapable conclusion will be that we are fearfully and wonderfully made.

Dr. Randy Guliuzza  is a captivating speaker who presents well-documented and often humorous scientific and biblical talks to audiences of all ages. He has represented ICR in several scientific debates at secular universities and in other forums. Dr. Guliuzza has a B.S. in Engineering from the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, a B.A. in theology from Moody Bible Institute, an M.D. from the University of Minnesota, and a Masters in Public Health from Harvard University. Dr. Guliuzza served nine years in the Navy Civil Engineer Corps and is a registered Professional Engineer. In 2008, he retired as Lt. Col. from the U.S. Air Force, where he served as Flight Surgeon and Chief of Aerospace Medicine. He is the author of Made in His Image: Examining the complexities of the human body

Presentation Titles & DescriptionsThe Human Visual System
The human eye is so highly specialized that Charles Darwin mused whether his theory was not preposterous in light of the eye’s complexity. Darwin should have listened to his instincts, because scientific discoveries in the last 130 years have shown that the human visual system is so complex it is absurd to attribute its development to random natural processes. This discussion will cover several of the fascinating design features of the visual system, including microscopic and gross critical interaction between visual, memory and motor centers of the brain. The inescapable conclusion will be that we are fearfully and wonderfully made.


The Reproductive System: Fascinating Evidence for Design-Part I (Dad’s Role)
This presentation will cover rarely discussed details of human reproduction that form irrefutable arguments for a supernaturally designed system.

All topics are covered in a tasteful manner and there is no discussion of external anatomy. Rather, the listener is put into the seat of a typical medical student taking in the detailed--though thoroughly explained--process of reproductive physiology and microscopic anatomy.

The Reproductive System: Fascinating Evidence for Design-Part II (Mom’s Role)
Topics will include (1) how mother’s immune system is controlled by the baby to prevent its own rejection, (2) how random genetic mutations could never produce the intricate, coordinated physiology necessary for fertilization and (3) how baby’s hormones maintain pregnancy, control maternal metabolism and prime the mother for partuition.
The content of both talks is strictly scientific, but the inescapable conclusions give God all the glory, showing that we are truly fearfully and wonderfully made.
