Bo doesn't know
Bo Alawine works for a defense contractor on the Gulf Coast. His essay in the Hattiesburg American has all the slogans, one-liners, straw men, religious bigotry, and talking points of the materialists in a readable form.
Dawkins is a Fundamentalist
Mark Vernon, of Spiked online, reports that Richard Dawkins has published a rant against religion. Vernon comments that Dawkins could learn much from an earlier Darwinian bulldog, Thomas Henry Huxley.
Dawkins accuses believers of having minds 'hijacked by religion'. Replace the word religion with science, and he could be expounding on himself. Intolerance leads him to fundamentalist rhetoric. What would be more helpful would be a revival of the richer, intellectually humbler and socially tolerant stanch of the committed agnostic.
Dawkins goes after "Truth in Science"
In the Guardian, Richard Dawkins writes a note on "Truth in Science" and Andrew MacIntosh.
Book Review - The Top 10 Myths About Evolution
There is a new pro-darwinism book where the authors, Cameron Smith and Charles Sullivan, have supposedly identified the 10 most common misconceptions about evolution.
Among the many topics that have galvanized the public in recent years, the debate over evolution versus intelligent design has generated an outpouring of heated rhetoric from both sides. The book is an effort to clarify prevailing misinterpretations and counteract misinformation relayed through the media, from the pulpit, or in the classroom.

An interview with Freeman Dyson
Gregory M. Lamb, of the Christian Science Monitor, interviewed world renown scientist Freeman Dyson.
Dyson's new compilation, The Scientist as Rebel, previously published essays and book reviews written over nearly four decades are included.
Dyson rebels against the idea that scientists should only concern themselves with the problems of the laboratory.
"Science is a particular bunch of tools that have been conspicuously successful for understanding and manipulating the material universe," Dyson concludes. "Religion is another bunch of tools, giving us hints of a mental or spiritual universe that transcends the material universe."

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.
