Quarterly Review of Biology Publishes Outlandish Rhetoric Against Intelligent Design as Penance for Behe’s Paper
So much for the claim from Behe’s critics that his Quarterly Review of Biology paper had nothing to do with ID.
Did DNA Evolve? Watch Part 2 of Stephen Meyer’s Series on the John Ankerberg Show
As science has progressed, scientists have realized the cell is more complex they they’d ever imagined. What is behind the origins of the cell’s complexity? What naturalistic theories have been proposed? What is the possibility of the precise genetic information in DNA evolving by chance? Watch as Stephen Meyer answers these and other questions.
Has Francis Collins Changed His Mind On “Junk DNA”?
The discoveries of the past decade, little known to most of the public, have completely overturned much of what used to be taught in high school biology. If you thought the DNA molecule comprised thousands of of genes but far more “junk DNA,” think again.
Stephen Hawking’s Materialist Logic: “We Don’t Understand How Life Formed,” but It “Must Have Spontaneously Generated Itself”
In a documentary from the Discovery Channel on the search for extraterrestrial life, Stephen Hawking provides an extraordinarily candid example of the fallacious materialist logic for why extraterrestrial life “must” be possible. Around 1:15 of the clip below, Hawking states: The life we have on earth must have spontaneously generated itself. It must therefore be possible for life to be generated spontaneously elsewhere in the universe. The gaping hole in Hawking’s logic should be immediately apparent to anyone willing to think critically and skeptically: If we haven’t yet explained how life could have spontaneously generated on earth, how do we know that it can be generated spontaneously elsewhere in the universe? What makes Hawking’s position even worse is that in Read More ›
How the Science Teachers’ Lobby Keeps Its Constituents in the Dark on Evolution
One of the most powerful education organizations in the country is the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA), which stands alongside the rest of the Darwin lobby in holding that neo-Darwinian evolution should be taught in a one-sided, pro-evolution-only fashion. This is an extreme position, as it seeks to ban scientific criticisms of evolution. Due to its exclusive and dogmatic nature, the NSTA’s position is analogous to the extreme position advocated by some religious fundamentalists who would seek to ban teaching about evolution in public schools. But the Darwin lobby is smart. While it is trying to ban and censor the views of its opponents, the Darwin lobby has a particular narrative which tries to paint its opponents as the censors Read More ›
