Orthodoxy of a liberal sort - Darwinism, state-sponsored dogma
An opinion by Paul Campos appears in the Rocky Mountain News. Campos practiced law in Chicago before returning to his home state in 1990 to join the law faculty at the University of Colorado at Boulder. He has written extensively on the role of law in American society.
His opinion of Kitzmiller v. Dover is illuminating.
Ottawa Univ. To Offer Class On Intelligent Design
KMBC-TV News reports that next semester, a class will examine intelligent design. The class will be taught by Richard Menninger, a religion professor, and Henry Tillinghast, a biology professor.
Ottawa University, located in Ottawa, KS has about 500 students and is affiliated with the American Baptist Churches USA.
The Dover Intelligent Design Decision, Part II: Of Science and Religion

Banned in biology - Tom Bethell's perspective

A Japanese take on 'intelligent design'
Hiroaki Sato, and essayist and translator, writes on Id and Darwinism in the Japan Times.
The article is anything but objective and fair, assuming that Biblical Creationism and ID are one-and-the-same.
He batters Hisayoshi Watanabe, professor emeritus of English and American literature at the University of Kyoto. He calls Watanabe an "intellectual" who defined ID as "a theory that proposes to give up explaining the making of this universe and the natural world in terms of aimless, plan-less mechanical forces alone," and to "recognize as science, other than natural factors like 'inevitability' (natural law) and 'coincidence', a 'design' factor."
Intelligent Courts, Schools, and Science
James Skillen, president of the Center for Public Justice, weighs in on the issue of who decides what our children can be taught in the public schools.
Skillen points out that "...the history-of-science lesson that Judge Jones in PA included in his ruling was largely philosophical and theological in character. He stated, for example, that science is limited to 'the search for natural causes to explain natural phenomena' and must therefore reject revelation in favor of empirical evidence. None of this amounts to a biological argument".

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.
