Thermodynamics of the Origin of Life
Popular articles on origin-of-life research often portray the field as constantly advancing and quickly converging on a purely materialistic explanation for the first cell.
Behe: Nobel Prize for Chemistry Begs the Question of Intelligent Design
“Nano” machines are impressive as technical achievements. Yet they are also exceedingly simple, “cute” but “useless.”
Intelligent Design: Nobel Prize for Chemists who Synthesized Molecular Machines
Doesn’t this beg a profound question? You could ask James Tour, or Michael Behe.
On Prebiotic Chemistry, Synthetic Chemist James Tour Urges an Admission of Ignorance
Taking aim at biologists who assume the matter of life from nonlife is well in hand, Tour sets out this way.
From Atheist Jeffrey Shallit, a Telling Response on the Origin of Life
Shallit is a computer scientist at the University of Waterloo whom we’ve dealt with here on occasion before.
Chemistry Nobel Prize Based on Design Inference
The suspicion that something was not letting nature take its usual course motivated the three winners.
Listen: Daniel Shechtman, Nobel Prize Winner Who Challenged the “Consensus”
Consider the parallels between Shechtman’s once-heretical science and the modern-day scorn directed at the ID movement.
Cardiovascular Function: The Heart Follows the Rules
The body uses the heart to pump blood throughout the cardiovascular system so its cells can get what they need.
Cardiovascular Function: Potassium Control and the Case for Intelligent Design
For the body to survive, the system that controls potassium must inherently “know” what is needed and do it naturally.
Cardiovascular Function: The Body’s Irreducibly Complex System for Controlling Potassium Content
Chance and the laws of nature result in debility and death, not functional ability and life.
