Stephen Meyer on Intelligent Design: What is the origin of the digital information found in DNA?
In this new video, Dr. Stephen Meyer explains the historical scientific method and how it applies to the origin of the information that makes life possible. It’s the question facing origin of life researchers: where does the information come from?
New York Times Finds Science Blogs “Class-War Claptrap”
While we often are correcting mistakes and misinformation in news reports about intelligent design and evolution, it’s encouraging to know that solid, thoughtful pieces are still being produced. This story from The New York Times is making the rounds, causing Denyse O’Leary to wonder, “Have the Times people actually started connecting with the public again?” The surprising article by Virginia Heffernan examines the strange microcosm that is Science Blogs, where, as Bruce Chapman put it, she finds “not science, but self-referencial sophomoric pranks, vitriol and cavil.” Her acute analysis: Hammering away at an ideology, substituting stridency for contemplation, pummeling its enemies in absentia: ScienceBlogs has become Fox News for the religion-baiting, peak-oil crowd. Though Myers and other science bloggers boast Read More ›

Win Signature in the Cell from Anyluckyday.com
Would you read a book that was denigrated as nonsense, “a pile of slop,” and “a silly waste of time”? How about if a member of the National Academy of Sciences told you that same book was “breathtaking and cutting-edge science”? What if other scientists from around the world said the book was a “must read,” “intriguing,” “a fascinating and intellectually stimulating book, and elegantly written”? Then you might begin to suspect that something is up. Of course, that book is Stephen Meyer’s Signature in the Cell, the most controversial and discussed book in the debate over intelligent design and evolution. Now it’s finally available in paperback, and if you don’t already have your copy, you can win one today. Read More ›
Doug Axe Knows His Work Better Than Steve Matheson
When Stephen Meyer faced Steve Matheson and Art Hunt at Biola University last month, one scientist’s research was key in their debate: Doug Axe, Director of Biologic Institute. While there’s a good deal of back and forth on the subject, for the first time Dr. Axe has something of his own to say on the subject of his work. From Biologic Perspectives: The specific work to which Meyer, Matheson and Hunt referred [4] has added to the scientific case for functional protein sequences being extraordinarily rare within the whole space of possibilities. Matheson started off by arguing not that this deduction of extraordinary rarity is incorrect, but rather that it is irrelevant to the debate between Darwinism and Design. Axe Read More ›
