Where people go wrong with science and intelligent design
Edward J. Larson is a historian of law, science and medicine at the University of Georgia. His book, "Summer for the Gods: The Scopes Trial and America's Continuing Debate Over Science and Religion," won the Pulitzer Prize in history in 1998.
I could never hope to win a Pulitzer Prize. Dr. Johnson is a much brighter man than I, but can be added to the list of people who make foolish mistakes when it come to the debate.
He insists that intelligent design is not science, because it does not seek testable, repeatable — and therefore exploitable — explanations. Can the biological history on planet earth be repeatable, in experiment after experiment? My point is, Darwinism is a result of the scientific philosophy of methodological naturalism (MN). It's a narrow approach, intending to find the right kind of "truth", which may miss the true truth about origins of the cosmos and life.
Dr. Edwards is a brilliant man, with blinders on.

Why Do We Invoke Darwin?
Philip S. Skell is Emeritus Evan Pugh Professor at Pennsylvania State University, and a member of the National Academy of Sciences. An essay of Dr. Skell was published in The Scientist.
To those in the know, it made the rather obvious point that embracing Darwinism has, in almost all cases, nothing to do with ongoing scientific research. Those on the other side blindly assert that holding to Darwinism has everything to do with carrying on valid, scientific endeavors.

Language: Neo-creo: backlash to 'intelligent design'
William Safire's opinion column in The New York Times was picked up by the International Herald Tribune.
The origin of the use of the words "intelligent design" is briefly traced from the 19th through the 20th century. The use in the 21st century is driving the opposition nuts.

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.
