Exhibit on Darwin creates Bush bash at museum gala
The New York Daily News reports on a no holds barred attack on the President and ID at an exhibit unveiling on the life of Charles Darwin at a museum event in New York.
Tom Brokaw, one of the museum patrons, was quoted as saying that the exhibit "doesn't attempt to argue the theory of evolution because there is no argument."
And other guests became even more condescending...
Phony Theory, False Conflict
Charles Krauthammer opines in the Washington Post on ID....AGAIN!
He didn't get the facts right the first time, and apparently still hasn't boned-up on what ID theory is and is not.
He states, "Let's be clear. Intelligent design may be interesting as theology, but as science it is a fraud."
Maybe, with some feedback from ID proponents, his third time (opinion) will be the charm.
Darwin, Intelligent Design, and Science Education
The American Enterprise Institute (AEI) for Public Policy Research published it's newsletter Friday. In it, a short piece with the above title discusses the subject.
AEI should be taken to task for a statement in the first paragraph, which says, "The Kansas Board of Education recently voted to require that students learn about intelligent design". This, of course, is completely false. The Kansas Board encouraged more teaching of Darwinism, including it's weaknesses as a scientific theory. The words "intelligent design" do NOT appear in the standards.
Butterfly wings work like LEDs
From BBC News, a remarkable example of design in living creatures.
Yet the final line of the story quoting Dr. Vukusic (who discovered this feature), "When you study these things and get a feel for the photonic architecture available, you really start to appreciate the elegance with which nature put some of these things together."
Yes, it all boils down to a happy series of accidents...
UI faculty sign on against intelligent design in science
William Dillon of the Tribune (mid Iowa) reports that 150 faculty of the University of Iowa have signed a statement denouncing the use of intelligent design in science.
The nearly 400 signatures from ISU, University of Northern Iowa and UI accounts for only about 10 percent of the faculty at the three universities.
The materialists are teaching their sectarian theological that God, if He exists, never engaged in special divine action (miracles) in the history of life. If the Iowa universities intend to exclude ID, then they must suppress their sectarian theology, which is teaching macroevolutionary biology.

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.
