One Small Step for "Darwin's Nemesis"
Once upon a time some social progressives took upon themselves the task of reclassifying a book just because they could. Read the "story" about how "Darwin's Nemesis" became a work of religion instead of science in a California library.
This is troubling, because our opponents actually believe that by attaching a different label to something, it magically becomes so. Put an orangutan in a tux, and call it Pierce Brosnan. Yeah...that's it.
Molecular Mechanism Provides Intra-cellular Traffic Signal
ScienceDaily reports on the amazing complexity of intra-cellular movement and regulating of materials. I don't have enough faith to believe this small thing is a happy accident of natural selection. That it occurred in tiny steps over vast amounts of time is a just-so story.
Dawkins does badly in debate
David Quinn, a well known Catholic commentator and journalist in Ireland, debated Richard Dawkins on Irish radio on the reasonableness of religious belief. Dawkins is a formidable debater, but David Quinn embarrassed him. To hear the 18 minute audio, clear the link above. We could learn much from David Quinn.

Leonard Susskind debates physics and intelligent design at campus lecture
Leonard Susskind, the "Father" of String Theory, apparently debated himself at UC-Davis, attended by around 250 interested listeners.
Michael Miller, of the California Aggie, reported that Susskind said, "that with billions of galaxies and planets within our infinite universe, statistically speaking, there must be a planet like ours which has the perfect mixture of gases and temperature ranges that can sustain life." Apparently the "Father" of String Theory needs to brush up on recent evidence that shows the odds of a planet like Earth are literally astronomical, in fact, so big that the figure outnumbers the number of known planets in the cosmos.
Susskind then asked himself, "Why did I wake up this morning as an intelligent creature?" "Simple answer: If I wasn't intelligent, I wouldn't have thought about that this morning." Wow, my head is spinning from that elegant and nonsensical answer.
Critical Characteristics and the Irreducible Knee Joint
Stuart Burgess writes in True.Origin about the IC of the knee joint. Makes you wonder how natural selection pulled this one off.
Evolutionary biologist discusses improbability of intelligent design
Darla Slipke, of the University (of Kansas) Daily Kansan, reports on the lecture given by Richard Dawkins in Lawrence. The talk was decidely anit-ID, and praised the wonder of natural selection.

- 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.
