10 Ways Darwinists Help Intelligent Design (Part I)
This is a good post by Joe Carter in the Evangelical Outpost. The link to Part II is at the end of the post.
Intelligent Design Meets Artificial Intelligence
Just to give you an idea on how the "others" think, Taner Edis, writing for the Committee for the Scienctific Investigation on Claims of the Paranormal, starts off with a bang.
Edis comments, "Science no longer treats nature, particularly life, as a supernatural design. Today, the very mention conjures up images of young-Earth creationists with their bizarre scriptural literalism."
"Lately, an "Intelligent Design" (ID) movement has been emerging, trying to steer a course between the inconsequential handwaving of the liberals and the lunatic literalism of the creationists." So what do you really think, Dr Edis?
What follows is a fair look at ID, a discussion of Godel's Theorem, and the ultimate innovator, randomness. Darwin "wins" in the end.
The Language of God
David Klinghoffer of the Discovery Institute reviews the new book by the head of the Human Genome Project, Francis Collins, in the Weekly Standard. Collins is among the country's foremost authorities on genetics, a staunch Darwinist, and a prominent critic of Intelligent Design. He's also an evangelical Christian who dramatically describes the moment he accepted Jesus as his personal savior. If that sounds like it might be a paradox, read on.
Collins, for as brilliant as he is, has some muddled ideas on stem-cell research, Darwinism, and similar topics. According to Collins, taking the life of an newly formed embryo has moral implications, yet when it comes to the thousands of frozen embryos, why not just toss them out. Darwinian evolution is a random, purposeless, unguided process, defined by staunch Darwinists. So, how does "God" fit in?
Nothing Wrong With Kansas?
The Sunday editorial in the Washington Post is as materialistic as it gets. Suggesting we may have finally emerged from the "Victorian Era"...but wait, those silly "creationists" just won't give in.
Censoring Science - The Kansas Controversy
Chuck Colson writes an opinion in Townhall.com on how science lost in Kansas due to zealots who want to keep kids in the dark about the scientific controversy over evolution.

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.
