Loyola University New Orleans Presents Programs on Intelligent Design
Both programs, part of the university’s President's Forum on Current Issues and Controversies, are free and open to the public on November 6th and 7th.
Evolution theory relies on faith, too
In the DetNews, Scott Bahr opines on the "faith" required by both Darwinists and IDers. In fact, both theories have a degree of uncertainty, and the scientific evidence points to one as being the most reasonable explanation. We claim the evidence is much in favor of ID.
Intelligent Design Presentation at USF Draws Crowds and Complaints From Darwinists
Evolution News & Views reports of the USF conference. Of interest are complaints from a Darwinist, and the careful critique of the criticism.
Uncovering DNA's 'Sweet' Secret
The article in ScienceDaily starts out by saying that "DNA's simple and elegant structure — the 'twisted ladder,' with sugar-phosphate chains making up the 'rails' and oxygen - and nitrogen - containing chemical 'rungs' tenuously uniting the two halves — seems to be the work of an accomplished sculptor. Yet the graceful, sinuous profile of the DNA double helix is the result of random chemical reactions in a simmering, primordial stew."
Interesting, because there is no evidence in the geologic record that a primordial stew existed. And, note the blatant scientism assertion in the second sentence. No evidence required. It's a fact.
Why Darwin Matters - The Case against Intelligent Design
The Cato Institute will feature the author, Michael Shermer, Director, Skeptics Society, with comments by Jonathan Wells, Senior Fellow, Center for Science and Culture, Discovery Institute on Oct. 12th.
Conn College to host skeptic's discussion of intelligent design Oct. 10
Any IDers in the area could ask some questions of Shermer.
Wilhoit targets intelligent design in KY
Mark Pitsch, of the Louisville Courier-Journal, reports that outgoing Kentucky Education Commissioner Gene Wilhoit says it would be a mistake for the state Board of Education to hire a replacement who believes "intelligent design" should be taught in public schools.
That's because intelligent design promotes a specific religious viewpoint that can't be tested by science, he said. The idea that some complex biological structures and other aspects of nature show evidence of a creator.
"Intelligent design at this point has not been shown to be a scientific theory that can stand the test," Wilhoit said in an interview Friday. "
What Mr Wilhoit fails to point out is that there is such a thing as historical science. It's not repeatable, yet is science.

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.
