Let's Have No More Monkey Trials
Recently, it's amazing how commentators such as Mort Kondracke, and now Charles Krauthammer in Time, can get it so wrong when it comes to ID.
Krauthammer is a well-known and respected (by many) commentator. He is supposed to give intelligent, well though out insights with regard to culture debates. Yet, his characterization of ID as a "God of the Gaps" religious enterprise shows his ignorance, perhaps self-imposed, of the true debate. His idea that ID is nothing more than plugging the "holes" in scientific theories with the divine is just silly. His inability to recognize Darwinism/atheism as a philosophical worldview, based on a good deal of blind faith, is inexcusible. And, his lack of knowledge regarding Kansas standards, which do not even mention ID, is baffling.
Rather, ID can simply be characterized as a "whodunnit" investigation, based on legitimate forensic (scientific) investigation.
When someone tries to use the "Krauthammer club", tell them you know better, and explain to her what ID is really about.

ID throws in a "Monkey Wrench"
George Neumayr, executive editor of The American Spectator, weighs in on the ID - Darwinism debate.
The closing paragraph of the story is telling:
"While the evolutionists continue their tired celebrations of the Scopes trial, they glance anxiously over their shoulders. They are running scared, and as the list of scientists and thinkers who dissent from Darwinism grows -- the Discovery Institute lists hundreds of scientists who now regard it as an intellectually bankrupt theory -- the evolutionists will increasingly mirror the intolerance they used to bemoan".

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.
