PA students pick ID for annual forum
Pervaiz Shallwani, of the Morning Call, reports that while ID will not be taught in the Palisades School District this year, it certainly could in the future and is something worth being educated on. So said 17-year-old Sarah Weick, president of the school's Students for Social Change Club.
The club, a socially conscious group of students who look to generate discussion on hot-button issues in this predominantly rural, Christian community, is sponsoring a debate on the topic at Palisades High School May 9th.
"We want to provide an open forum where experts can present their opinions to the community and then take questions," Weick said.
Intelligent design bill aims to create momentum for 2007
Amanda Jacobs, of the Columbia Missourian, reports that Rep. Jane Cunningham, R-Chesterfield, chairwoman of the House Elementary and Secondary Education Committee, said a bill made it through committee hearings by a 7-6 vote.
The Missouri Science Education Act would require sixth- through 12th-grade science teachers to engage in "critical analysis" of evolution as a theory rather than teaching it as an accepted fact.
Intelligent Design Critics Invited to Put ID on Trial
WHAT: Critics of intelligent design will cross-examine intelligent design by asking its leading proponents the difficult questions in a Q-and-A format.
WHEN: Friday, May 12 at 7:30 p.m.
WHERE: Sutherland Auditorium at Biola University in La Mirada, Calif.
BACKGROUND: The question of intelligent design (ID) has flooded the news this year with the Dover, Penn. trial over the place of ID in public education. With many questions still left unanswered about ID theory, this event will allow the public access to hear from top ID experts and its critics.
Panelists representing ID include Mike Behe, Professor of Biochemistry, Lehigh University and Senior Fellow, Discovery Institute; Paul Nelson, Adjunct Professor, Biola University; Guillermo Gonzales, Assistant Research Professor of Astronomy, Iowa State University; Jonathan Wells, Senior Fellow, Discovery Institute; and Steve Meyer, Director and Senior Fellow of the Center for Science and Culture at the Discovery Institute, Seattle.
Those cross-examining the panelists will include: Antony Flew, noted philosopher; Keith Morrison of Dateline NBC; and faculty from Cal State Fullerton: Bruce H. Weber, Ph.D. Professor of Biochemistry; James R. Hofmann, Ph.D. Professor and Chair, Liberal Studies Department; and Craig M. Nelson, Ph.D. Lecturer, Department of Comparative Religion.

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.
