Intelligent Debate?
Kenneth Sibler, writing on the Technology, Commerce, and Society Web site, addresses the fact that Darwinists are beginning to engage with society on the "problems" of ID. He mentions a few new pieces written in favor of mutation and natural selection.
Trouble is, these pieces really add nothing to the ongoing "debate". Nearly all of the evidence presented for the history of Evolution is equivocal.
In the search for the Truth of reality, all explanations should be allowed to be brought to the table and discussed. We are searching for the Truth, not some restricted explanation of reality that does not allow for metaphysical existence (which science cannot deal with). What if there is an intelligence, even metaphysical, which caused the cosmos to come into existence, and scientism continues to waste time searching for a naturalistic explanation for what really is a metaphysical concern? Furthermore, the naturalists are overstepping the proper domain of scientific inquiry when they propose multiverses, etc. They cannot have it both ways.
Too bad the up-and-coming cannot have a widespread learning program where they can be taught how to search for ultimate reality. Scientism continues to be able, with taxpayer dollars, to indoctrinate students with their philosophical worldview with no fear of official reprisal.
Professor Ratzinger goes back to school with topic being Darwinism
Sandro Magister reports on an upcoming seminar with the pontiff and students. It will occur in early September.
The Pope has written that "while most scientists accept natural selection and random genetic mutation as valid processes, others who also accept evolution deny that the mechanisms identified so far are sufficient to explain it."
The subject is not foreign to Benedict XVI. As pontiff he touched upon it last April 6 when he addressed young people gathered in St. Peter’s Square for World Youth Day. "Science," he said, "presupposes the trustworthy, intelligent structure of matter, the 'design' of creation."

- 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.
