The creationist who does not believe in creation and the evolutionist who does
The opinion by Vernon L. Gilliland, recently retired high school biology teacher from Liberal (KS) High School, appears in the Southwest Daily Times.
Mr. Gilliland sounds like a very cordial scientist who have devoted his life to teaching high school students.
Some of his ideas sound like the "talking points" of Darwinists, or, at the very least theistic evolutionists. Mr. Gilliland buys into the notion that we "cannot measure God." Not sure if that means measuring God's sleeve length or ring size. Seriously, I think it means that there is absolutely no evidence for an intelligent agent in the creative work of the cosmos, or no way to detect design in the physical universe. This is where ID proponents part company with Mr. Gilliland.
He plays the science vs faith card, which, increasingly, is losing credibility in mainstream thought.
There are many science teachers in Kansas who are also believers in God, that subscribe to "God-guided" evolution. This belief system is not Darwinism, though, and the two should not be conflated.

The science of design - Mark Hartwig
The York (PA) Daily Review published a lucid description of ID by our colleague Mark Hartwig.
The York PA school district has been in the center of a firestorm over it's desire not only to "teach the controversy" but to make it a requirement to teach ID.

- Telic Thoughts
We are a group of individuals, coming from diverse backgrounds and not speaking for any organization, who have found common ground around teleological concepts, including intelligent design. We think these concepts have real potential to generate insights about our reality that are being drowned out by political advocacy from both sides. We hope this blog will provide a small voice that helps rectify this situation.
