Intelligent design: it brings good things to life
ARN has released its latest ID apparel design: the Q Machine model of the ribosome. Now you can have the Q Machine ribosome image on your favorite t-shirt, sweatshirt, coffee mug or hat.
The ribosome is the molecular factory responsible for synthesizing proteins in all organisms. Using the "Q Machine" supercomputer, Los Alamos computer scientists have created a molecular simulation of the cell's protein-making structure, the ribosome. The project, simulating 2.64 million atoms in motion, is more than six times larger than any biological simulations performed to date. The Los Alamos team led by Kevin Sanbonmatsu of Theoretical Biology and Biophysics (T-10) is the first to observe the entire ribosome in motion at atomic detail. Researchers at the Laboratory have set a new world's record by performing the first million-atom computer simulation in biology.
It requires man’s finest minds and most advanced machines just to model this marvelous molecular factory. It raises the obvious question: Is it mind or matter that “brings good things to life?”
About the Image: The aminoacyl-transfer-RNA (yellow) caught in the act of delivering its amino acid (green) to the growing protein hanging off the peptidyl-transfer-RNA (cyan). The ribosome (large subunit in white and small subunit in purple) uses the transfer RNA molecules to read the genetic information from the messenger RNA (green). For visualization purposes, the top portion of the ribosome is cut away so that the transfer RNA molecules are visible. Credit: Sanbonmatsu Team, Los Alamos National Laboratory.

Butterfly Effect - Intelligently Designer
The early February issue of the award winning IEEE SPECTRUM magazine has an article about Bragg reflector in butterfly wings. The lead photo shows a butterfly (Princeps nireus) and bears the caption, "INTELLIGENT DESIGN"
The IEEE is the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
Mother Nature has outdone herself here.
Lecture adds to intelligent design debate
William Dillon, of the Mid-Iowa Tribune, reported on an anti-ID talk at Iowa State University.
The debate over intelligent design's place in science occurred with the visit of Robert Hazen, an earth scientist from the Carnegie Institution of Washington.
Hazen admitted that science has many holes and unknowns. "Will we fill in every gap? No, because the more we learn, the more we learn we don't know," he said.
Okay???

- Telic Thoughts
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.
