New BooK--Darwin's Conservatives: The Misguided Quest
ARN now has in stock the lastest book just released from Discovery Institute, Darwin's Conservatives: The Misguided Quest by John West.
Should Conservatives embrace Darwin? Conservatives such as George Will, James Q. Wilson, and Larry Arnhart have mounted a vigorous defense of Darwinian biology, even urging other conservatives to draw on Darwin’s theory for support. In this small but incisive book, Dr. John West argues that the quest for “Darwinian conservatism” is misguided and fundamentally flawed. Contrary to claims by Darwin’s conservatives, Darwinian evolution promotes relativism rather than traditional morality. It fosters utopianism rather than limited government. It is corrosive, rather than supportive, of free will and religious belief. Finally, and most importantly, Darwinian evolution is in tension with the scientific evidence.

Gov. Blunt pulls MO state education nominee
Steve Giegerich, of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, reports that Gov. Matt Blunt pulled his nomination of a former private school administrator to the state Board of Education, hours after state Sen.-elect Jeff Smith objected to the choice.
He said nominee Donayle Whitmore-Smith's support of tax credits, which critics call a school voucher program, was one of several factors in his decision.
Smith also found Whitmore-Smith, an African-American, evasive on the question of whether she supports teaching creationism and intelligent design in public schools.
With the region enticing bio-tech industries to join a research base established by Washington University, the Monsanto Co. and other entities, Smith said a strict separation of faith and state is paramount.
My comment...once again ID is portrayed as a research stopper. How does that follow, except in the minds of careless thinkers?

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.
