Darwin defender retracts accusations - Eugenie Scott responds to lawsuit by parent-activist
WorldNetDaily reports on the case of Eugenie C. Scott retracting her false claims against a parent-activist who wants to change how a state school district teaches evolution.
Scott was forced to retract false statements about lawyer Caldwell when threatened with a lawsuit.
Caldwell said, however, he's disappointed it took a lawsuit to get action.
"Unfortunately, Scott and the NCSE have a long history of libeling people in the debate over how evolution should be taught in our public schools; my case is only the most recent example," he said. "Hopefully, it won't take any more libel lawsuits to teach them how to stick to the truth."

Catholic experts urge caution in evolution debate
In an article by John L. Allen Jr. in the National Catholic Reporter a good amount of posturing seems to be going on in the Church. Catholic leaders and adherents are trying to figure out how to take the recent comments of the archbishop of Vienna on evolution. The term is equivocated, but Michael Behe does bring some clarity to evolution in a Darwinian sense.

"March of the Penguins" film
A new movie about the lives of emperor penguins in Antarctica is more than a documentary. While not an ID film explicitly, you might think it shouts out that the penguins were "designed".

Intelligent design critic hired at Wichita State
Dr. Niall Shanks, the man who wrote the 2004 book "God, the Devil, and Darwin: A Critique of Intelligent Design Theory" has moved from Tennessee to Kansas, which currently is in the midst of a debate about how evolution should be taught in public schools.
Shanks recently took a job at Wichita State University, filling an endowed professorship that focuses on the history and philosophy of evolution.

The Design of Biologicial Systems
The second edition of "Convergence: The Magazine of Engineering and the Sciences at UC Santa Barbara" reads like an ID magazine. The lead article "Real Life" on Systems Biology seems to indicate that it is legitimate to talk about design concepts when they are funding endowed chairs to research the topic.

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.
