Parent Sues Evolutionist, Claiming She Defames Him in Anti-Creationist Article
Dr. Eugenie Scott has been slapped with a libel lawsuit for allegedly attempting to discredit a California parent's efforts to improve how evolution is taught in biology classes.
Scott is the executive director of the National Center for Science Education (NCSE), and has been sued for comments she made in an article for California Wild: The Magazine of the California Academy of Sciences. Roseville parent Larry Caldwell, an attorney, says the article by the head of the pro-evolution NCSE contained several factual inaccuracies and defamatory statements about him.
Dr. Scott has ignored Caldwell's request that she issue a retraction and has declined interview requests, noting that her lawyers have advised her not to speak to the press about the suit.

Debating Darwinism in Kansas
On the Editorials/OP-ED page of the Washington Times, the Kansas School Board debates were front and center.
The editorial reports that there will be about two dozen ID proponents speaking and one trial lawyer, Pedro Irigonegaray, who has volunteered to defend Darwin. Darwinist scientists are boycotting the debates.
Pedro Irigonegaray says that debating whether Darwinism is true is like "debating whether the earth is round. It is an absurd proposition."
In an unrelated article, Darwinists were saying that for the sake of Kansas, Darwinists better win this one, or it will be considered a "hayseed" state worldwide. If these are the best "arguments" the Darwinistas can manage from their bag of bad soundbites, it should be an interesting week. They certainly are NOT very tolerant nor respectful toward folks who believe in more than the dogma of scientific materialism.
The Times was quick to point out that the Irigonegaray quote was hardly fair, since 400 scientists have signed a statement of dissent from Darwin's theory.

Intelligent Design theorist challenges Darwinism
Peter Hamilton, Science Editor for the California Aggie, gives as evenhanded a story as can be expected regarding Michael Behe's presentation at a Veritas Forum at Stanford.
A few rebuttal assertions from Darwinists were included in the story.

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.
