Intelligent Design explains and unifies data from across the spectrum of scientific fields
Previously I noted that BioLogos has created a taxonomy of various viewpoints in the debate over origins that First Things blogger Christopher Benson called “helpful”.

Professor Opderbeck qualifies his post’s pro-Judge Jones title, stating: “I still Read More ›
