Henry Morris, 87; 1961 Book Is Credited With Reviving the Creationism Movement
Valerie J. Nelson of the LA Times writes on the death of Henry M. Morris, a hydraulics engineer widely regarded as the father of modern creationism whose fusion of scientific and biblical knowledge rekindled the anti-evolution movement more than 40 years ago.
He wrote more than 60 books, and laid an intellectual framework that claimed to scientifically explain the theory of divine creation. Morris' thinking also influenced the contemporary argument for intelligent design, the concept that a supreme designer had a hand in evolution.
What Charles Darwin's "Origin of Species" was to evolution, Morris' 1961 book "The Genesis Flood: The Biblical Record and Its Scientific Implications" was to late-20th century creationism.
Lecture on 'intelligent design' flaw Monday
Elliott Sober, Hans Reichenbach Professor and William F. Vilas Research Professor of Philosophy at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, will deliver the University of Delaware's spring David Norton Memorial Lecture, "What's Wrong with Intelligent Design Theory?" at 7 p.m., Monday, March 6, in 125 Clayton Hall. The lecture is free and open to the public.
Internationally recognized as a leading philosopher of biology and science, Sober will present what he considers to be the strongest version of the argument for the intelligent design theory, followed by what he believes is the fatal flaw in such an argument.
If you are in the area, plan to attend.

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.
