Richard Dawkins, the Koala, and the Giraffe
We are pleased to offer this Abstract from a new paper, “Richard Dawkins, the Koala, and the Giraffe: How Evolutionists Overlook Signatures of Design.”
The Advantages of a Bayesian Approach to ID
Lydia McGrew gives the analogy that there is always a possibility that prehistoric civilizations did not have the ability or desire to make arrowheads.
Welcome, Jerry Coyne, to the Exciting Field of Intelligent Design Research
The anatomy, embryology, and evolution of the recurrent laryngeal nerve are fascinating.
Giraffe Weekend: The Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve
Darwinists have called it one of “nature’s worst designs,” “obviously a ridiculous detour,” asserting that “no engineer would ever make a mistake like that.”
Medical Considerations for the Intelligent Design of the Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve
In the previous three posts (see part 1, part 2, and part 3), we’ve seen that the arguments of intelligent design (ID) critics based that the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) is an “imperfect design” fail for a variety of reasons. These include: To add another reason, pro-ID professor of neurosurgery Michael Egnor has suggested that the RLN may have a medical function which gives the organism a warning that it is sick, and needs to heal from an internal infection or disease originating in the chest area. Dr. Egnor offered me some insightful comments about function of the design of the RLN pathway from his vantage as a doctor and professor of medicine: There is actually a design advantage to Read More ›
