Darwin's Failed Predictions
Just a reminder...Discovery Institute has put together a Web site
which is a response to PBS-NOVA's online materials for their "Judgment Day: Intelligent Design on Trial" documentary.
Evolution furor flares on Florida science proposals
Don Jordan, of the Palm Beach Post, reports that the state Board of Education will decide in February whether to approve an overhaul of state science standards that would make it a major topic in classrooms for the first time.
The proposed changes, which would require that students recognize that fossil evidence is consistent with the idea that human beings evolved from earlier species, have ignited a fierce debate among education officials and advocacy groups.
Opponents argue that evolution is merely a theory and that other explanations for the origins of life, such as intelligent design, also should be taught out of fairness.
Board member Kathryn Hensley supported the teaching of evolution, adding that "anything that is faith-based or religious-based just doesn't belong in the classroom."
-------------------------------
Any gaps in knowledge must be bridged by faith (belief), including gaps in knowledge regarding the theory of evolution. Since evolutionary biologists admit they don't yet understand the mechanisms that generate and change information (the HOW) of evolution, they too have to exercise faith. Therefore, their theory should not be included in the classroom.

Comments on ARN from Bay of Fundie
The Bay of Fundie blog, no friend of ARN, opined on our recent "Top 10 Darwin and Design News Stories of 2007".
It is not surprising that when someone has little to say concerning the substance of the debate, he resorts to ad hominem attacks and vitriolic speech.
For instance, ARN and IDers are crackpots, morons, "smart guys", retards, incapable of understanding biology, Clowndi_ks, fundies, disinformationists, etc.
He asserts there is no debate, which is often the first line of "defense" of proponents of the "Modern Synthesis", a.k.a. Neo-Darwinism (and Global Warming).
IDers are liars, like Joseph Goebbels (a Nazi), who once may have said, "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it." As was said in the blog, sounds like the pot calling the kettle black.
As is typical of Neo-Darwinists, they separate the origin of species from the origin of life. Neo-Darwinism does not deal with the origin of life, and we are well aware of that fact. But, in the materialist's worldview, the origin of life is actually more problematic than the origin of species. That's why Francis Crick pushed back OOL by proposing directed panspermia. He rightly concluded that a chemical origin of life on Earth was impossible. He posited that OOL must have happened somewhere else in the universe, and was brought here. Neo-Darwinists choose to say, "In the beginning was a great mystery, then evolution."
One of the citations in the blog to indicate how out-of-touch IDers are with Neo-Darwinism is from 1993. In that post, Moran states, "Biologists no longer question whether evolution has occurred or is occurring. That part of Darwin's book is now considered to be so overwhelmingly demonstrated that is is often referred to as the FACT of evolution. However, the MECHANISM of evolution is still debated." So, my question is, "If we don't know HOW materialistic evolution happened, how do we know THAT it happened?" The debate (which he says doesn't even exist among REAL scientists) is about the HOW (mechanisms). What they accuse us of (God of the Gaps), is exactly what they are doing (Science of the Gaps), when saying they don't know HOW it happened. But, according to them, it had to have happened, because it fits their worldview.
Believers in the extranatural either believe that the universe was front-loaded with information, or a designer injected information into systems at various times. If REAL scientists can infer design in SETI, criminology, etc., why not in biological science? Well, that would upset the apple cart, because they cannot allow a "divine foot in the door". So they attempt to nail the door shut by saying there is no legitimate debate.
I prefer clarity of thinking over agreement. This is what we should all strive for this coming year, including Neo-Darwinists.

Creation-Evolution Headlines
For sound, thoughtful commentary on creation-evolution hot topics go to Creation-Evolution Headlines. The particular link below looks at how Bambi became Moby Dick, really! The purpose-driven language used by Darwinists goes against everything that Evolution is about: a purposeless, mindless, undirected process. They cannot help but use design-language to describe the materialistic process.

Top 10 Darwin and Design News Stories of 2007
Top 10 Darwin and Design News Stories of 2007
Colorado Springs, CO - December 27, 2007
Access Research Network has just released its second annual Top 10 Darwin and Design News Stories and its Top 10 Darwin and Design Resources list for the year ending in 2007.
The origins debate continued to capture the attention of a world-wide audience in 2007, as evidenced by some of the key news stories designated as among the more important according to Access Research Network (ARN), a leading science and technology watch-dog group based in Colorado Springs, CO.
"Part of our mission at ARN is to help educate the public about issues relating to Darwin and Design. Not only are there a lot of moving parts to this issue, but it also suffers heavily from significant mis-information. One of the things we do is monitor science news and other reports related to this topic, and provide access to resources designed to help others better understand the full scope of this issue. Overall in 2007 I'd say we've observed a growing consternation running through many scientific disciplines over issues that were once thought to be resolved long ago" says Kevin Wirth, ARN Director of Media Relations. "For example, the so-called 'simple cell' continues to demonstrate far more complexity and information content than anyone ever imagined. This continues to sustain the argument for Design theorists, but places a growing burden on Darwinists who maintain that this is merely evidence of 'apparent design.' But we're seeing a growing number of scientists who simply aren't buying the 'apparent design' explanation."
"The news reports we've cited in our Top 10 News Stories this year reflect many of those concerns" added Wirth. "One of the things we've noticed is that the probability surrounding the notion that life arose spontaneously and evolved over eons is straining the limits of credulity among observers who are not heavily invested in Darwinian speculations. I think it's important that we listen carefully to the voices of those who are truly independent and critical observers of this issue."
In addition to the increasing level of complexity being discovered in small biological systems, the level of biological complexity being discovered in early life history provided another challenge for Darwin's molecule-to-man theory in 2007. Well-preserved jellyfish fossil finds in Utah confirm that the modern form of the jellyfish existed nearly 200 million years earlier than previously thought. This leaves an insufficient amount of time for complex life to have developed only via the Darwinian principles of random mutations and natural selection. Evidence like this caused some scientist this past year to suggest that Darwin's "Tree-of-Life" model should be discarded and replaced with a "Biological Big Bang" model.
Dennis Wagner, ARN Executive Director, noted that "We have a whole generation of people who have been raised according to Darwinian fairytales, like 'human and chimpanzee genetics only differ by 1%' and 'the human body is full of leftover evolutionary vestiges like the appendix and junk DNA.' However, scientists demonstrated that these Darwinian stories do not belong in our science textbooks with some of the new discoveries made in 2007. These are Darwinian 'arguments from ignorance' that continue to be discarded as scientists uncover the incredible design and purpose of biological systems"
Wagner also noted that several new books in the ARN 2007 Top 10 Darwin and Design Resource list such as Michael Behe's The Edge of Evolution and Mike Gene's The Design Matrix are causing a healthy shift in the debate from 'Darwin versus Design' to 'Darwin and Design.': "The debate has been highly polarized for generations because you have one group claiming everything can be explained by Darwin and another group claiming everything can be explained by design. These new books are revealing that scientific evidence is now indicating life bears the hallmarks of both. The information content present in living systems can only be explained by design, while biological systems also appear to have been designed to adapt to their environment through variation and natural selection. Trying to decipher from the evidence exactly what evolution can and cannot do, rather than resorting to imaginative Darwinian stories to explain all of life by naturalistic processes is a great step forward in the debate."
While scientific evidence continued to mount in favor of intelligent design in 2007, so did the political and academic persecution against those who challenge Darwinism. Wagner observed that "our modern western culture is so ingrained in the naturalistic Darwinian creation story that those who challenge the story, even with scientific evidence in hand, are treated as outsiders and outcasts. Even though scientists should be free to follow the evidence wherever it leads, the 2007 stories about Guillermo Gonzales being denied tenure at Iowa State and Robert Marks having his lab and website shutdown at Baylor University prove that we are not as free as we would like to think. Ben Stein's documentary Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed, scheduled for release in early 2008, will document these stories and many others, and serve as a real eye-opener to the average citizen."
Wirth concluded, "As we monitor scientific discoveries and reports in the news, I think we're beginning to see a growing trend overall that the sufficiency of Darwinian explanations to describe how life evolved is turning out to be substantially inadequate in a growing number of fields, particularly in the areas of genetics and molecular biology. I think it's becoming clear that Darwinism is on the verge of one of the greatest challenges it has faced in many decades. And, based on what we're seeing, I suspect the debate about origins will heat up again significantly in 2008."

Antony Flew:True Convert or Exploited Scholar?
In a CrossWalk.com blog, Regis Nicoll opines on Antony Flew's conversion to an Aristotelian God - a Being who is "self-existent, immutable, immaterial, omnipotent, and omniscient." At the same time, Flew remains adamant about his rejection of an interventionist Deity, the afterlife and revealed religion, although he is open to the latter. While Flew rejects the interventionist God of the Judeo-Christian worldview, he has also rejected Darwinism. And his rejection of Darwinism is not a result of seniality.

Teaching of evolution to go under microscope in Texas
In the Dallas Morning News...the resignation of the state's science curriculum director last month has signaled the beginning of what is shaping up to be a contentious and politically charged revision of the science curriculum, set to begin in earnest in January.
At stake is the way teachers present evolution, the biological theory that humans and other species evolved from lower forms of life.
More 'Functional' DNA In Genome Than Previously Thought
ScienceDaily reports that surrounding the small islands of genes within the human genome is a vast sea of mysterious DNA. While most of this non-coding DNA is junk, some of it is used to help genes turn on and off. As reported online this week in Genome Research, Hopkins researchers have now found that this latter portion, which is known as regulatory DNA and contributes to inherited diseases like Parkinson's or mental disorders, may be more abundant than we realize.
Imagine that...

Science class no place for 15th-century ideas
A letter to the editor in the Indianapolis Star shows that the self-deluding mantra of the Darwinists is alive and well from academia through the general public.
The assertion that 19th century ideas are closer to reality than 15th century ideas is not necessarily so. Besides, most of the great advances in science occurred in the 16th and 17th centuries. With the great advance in biological nano-science in the past half-century, ID theory is becoming more obvious every year. The opposition to ID seems to be more emotional (visceral) than rational, as seen by the tone and language of this letter. The upcoming documentary "Expelled, No Intelligence Allowed" will show this emotional persecution of IDers to the general public in a very clear way. Contrary to the comment that ID is dead because of the Dover decision, it is alive and well and growing.

The Pope condemns the climate change prophets of doom
Simon Caldwell, in the Daily Mail, reports that Pope Benedict XVI has launched a surprise attack on climate change prophets of doom, warning them that any solutions to global warming must be based on firm evidence and not on dubious ideology.
The leader of more than a billion Roman Catholics suggested that fears over man-made emissions melting the ice caps and causing a wave of unprecedented disasters were nothing more than scare-mongering.
--------------------------------------------------------
Many of the same dynanmics in the ID debate are at play in the climate change debate. Pope Benedict XVI seems to be quite rational concerning both matters.
Eight Baylor professors join peers voicing support for evolution education
Laura Heinauer, in the Waco Tribune, reports that more than 100 biology faculty members from universities across Texas signed a letter sent Monday to state Education Commissioner Robert Scott saying Texas Education Agency employees should not have to remain neutral on evolution.
The letter, which included eight signatures from Baylor University professors, is in response to the departure of science curriculum director Chris Comer. Comer says she was forced to resign days after forwarding an e-mail her superiors said made the agency appear biased against the idea that life is a result of intelligent design.

Texas biology professors voice support for evolution education
AP Texas News reports that biology professors from across Texas stressed the importance of educating students about evolution in a letter to the state education commissioner and said Texas Education Agency employees shouldn't be required to stay neutral on the subject.
More than 100 faculty members from the universities of Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Texas State, North Texas, Houston, Rice and Baylor signed the letter. It was sent Monday to Texas Education Commissioner Robert Scott.

Biologist fired for beliefs, suit says
Beth Daily, of the Boston Globe, reports that a former researcher claimed he was fired from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution because he didn't believe in evolution.
Nathaniel Abraham filed a lawsuit earlier this week in US District Court in Boston saying that the Cape Cod research center dismissed him in 2004 because of his Christian belief that the Bible presents a true account of human creation.
Abraham, who is seeking $500,000 in compensation for a violation of his civil rights, says in the suit that he lost his job as a postdoctoral researcher in a biology lab shortly after he told his superior that he did not accept evolution as scientific fact.
From what I have heard, there is some bad information in the Globe piece. It seems Abraham was willing to work on the evolution projects. He had no problem stating that "evolution was a theory" or "according to evolution..." he objected only to using evolution (in the common ancestry sense) as an established fact. This was not acceptable to his supervisor who required that he believe in evolution.
This may be a very important case, because his firing may have been religious discrimination.

Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed - Four Stars
I attended a private screening of Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed with Ben Stein. The documentary film will be released during the first part of 2008.
This is definitely a film that Darwinists will not want you to see.

Nature's "Judgment Day: Intelligent Design on Trial" Reviewer, Adam Rutherford, Calls Guillermo Gonzalez "crap scientist"
When you do not have a good argument against your opponent's view, just throw in a few ad hominem attacks. Name-calling usually does the trick for most. That's what Adam Rutherford, reviewer for Science Magazine does.
Evolution News & Views picks up on Rutherford's remarks.

Secret ISU Faculty E-mails Express Vitriol towards Intelligent Design
ENV does a summary on the Guillermo Gonzalez. Public document requests under Iowa's Open Records Act obtained correspondence of key faculty members within ISU's Department of Physics and Astronomy. Various e-mails reveal that Dr. Gonzalez's department was far more concerned about the "embarrassment" that intelligent design (ID) caused the department's reputation rather than protecting his academic freedom - despite the fact that ISU's faculty handbook claims that "[a]cademic freedom is the foundation of the university."

Behe on C-SPAN 2
Case Western Reserve University Professor Patricia Princehouse and Michael Behe recently taped an episode of the program "Close Up at the Newseum", where we discussed intelligent design, Darwinism, The Edge of Evolution, and other topics with an audience of about 40 high school students. The purpose of Close Up is to get students interested in issues of the day, and to become active participants in our democracy. The show will air this Friday, November 30th, at 7:00 p.m. Eastern time, on C-SPAN 2.
Texas state science curriculum director resigns
Laura Heinauer, of the American-Statesman, reports that the state's director of science curriculum has resigned after being accused of creating the appearance of bias against teaching intelligent design.
Chris Comer, who has been the Texas Education Agency's director of science curriculum for more than nine years, offered her resignation this month.
Chris Comer is accused of misconduct, insubordination.
In documents obtained Wednesday through the Texas Public Information Act, agency officials said they recommended firing Comer for repeated acts of misconduct and insubordination. But Comer said she thinks political concerns about the teaching of creationism in schools were behind what she describes as a forced resignation.

Backers battle ISU professor's tenure denial
Lisa Rossi of the Des Moines Register reports that the fight will rage on over Iowa State University astronomy professor Guillermo Gonzalez, who advocated for intelligent design, and lost a bid for tenure.
Advocates for Gonzalez said in a release distributed Tuesday that they will hold a news conference at 11 a.m. Monday in Des Moines. There, they said, they will discuss documents they contend will prove that Gonzalez "lost his job" because he supports intelligent design, not because he was deficient as a scholar. Gonzalez's backers say an appeal to the Iowa Board of Regents and possibly a lawsuit would be the next steps.

Faith in science, but...faith in Darwinism???
Nemo says, "Paul Davies is an important bulwark against the abuses of design thinking current: take the question slowly but surely without theological obsessions."
"...the reductionist regime can, so far, go no further than the threshold of life. That is by no means a rejection of science. Merely that something really revolutionary would be required, as with the transition from Newtonian to Quantum methodologies."
Seems nemo has FAITH that science is going to find something really revolutionary...perhaps a blind faith.
Another new resource for public educators
We thought you would like to know...
New journal Evolution: Education and Outreach debuts Nov. 28
The world-renowned evolutionary scientist Niles Eldredge and his son Greg Eldredge, a high school science teacher, believe it's time to help science educators fight back against the strong pressure creationists exert on public education. So they joined forces with the scientific publisher Springer and, on Darwin's birthday in February this year, announced plans to publish a new journal, Evolution: Education and Outreach.

A New Resource for Educators
As part of Discovery Institute's response to the PBS-NOVA documentary "Judgment Day: Intelligent Design," it recently released "The Theory of Intelligent Design: A Briefing Packet for Educators" (available free for download). The packet contains numerous resources for educators trying to effectively teach about biological origins in public schools.
Taking Science on Faith
Paul Davies, director of Beyond, a research center at Arizona State University, states his opinion in the New York Times.
Davies is a pantheist who sees God as the intrinsic guiding rules that are essential and wholly within the multiverse. This is clearly a faith position that he holds by personal preference.
In his opinion he says, "Clearly, then, both religion and science are founded on faith - namely, on belief in the existence of something outside the universe, like an unexplained God or an unexplained set of physical laws, maybe even a huge ensemble of unseen universes, too. For that reason, both monotheistic religion and orthodox science fail to provide a complete account of physical existence."
This is a statement which is obvious to anyone who knows logic, and thinks about the issue for five minutes. However, the debate is always cast as one between science and faith. Go figure...
When Night Falls at School, Should Darwin Go Home?
Robin Finn, of the New York Times, writes on an adult evening class in a public school on Long Island. Seems he is teaching a course which says negative things about Darwinism. For that the NYCLU is up in arms.
Rio Rancho schools could eliminate intelligent design
The Rio Rancho School Board, in New Mexico, is expected to take up the issue of evolution and intelligent design at a Monday evening meeting.
The board is expected to vote on whether to eliminate a policy that allows alternatives to evolution to be taught in science class. Currently, the district does allow the teaching of intelligent design.

Polk School Board Leans Toward Inclusion of Intelligent Design
John Chambliss, of the Lakeland (FL) Ledger, reports that a majority of Polk County School Board members say they support teaching intelligent design in addition to evolution in public schools.
Board members Tim Harris, Margaret Lofton and Hazel Sellers said they oppose proposed science standards for Florida schools that lists evolution and biological diversity as one of the "big ideas" that students need to know for a well-grounded science education.
Antony Flew is not Senile
An article in Publisher's Weekly is on a Nov. 4 article in the New York Times Magazine, "The Turning of an Atheist" by Mark Oppenheimer. That article has generated lots of chatter in the blogosphere and a passionate response from the publisher. In the piece, Oppenheimer characterizes Flew as a senile old man being manipulated and exploited by evangelical Christians for their own ends.
HarperOne released a statement from Flew: "My name is on the book and it represents exactly my opinions. I would not have a book issued in my name that I do not 100 percent agree with. I needed someone to do the actual writing because I'm 84 and that was Roy Varghese's role. The idea that someone manipulated me because I'm old is exactly wrong. I may be old but it is hard to manipulate me. This is my book and it represents my thinking."

Essential Reading: Law, Darwinism, and Public Education
While this book has been out for awhile, ENV rightly praises Dr. Frank Beckwith's work.
Legal scholar Francis J. Beckwith recounts the legal history of court battles over the teaching of biological origins. Though many thought that the landmark Supreme Court case Edwards v. Aguillard would permanently settle these questions by ruling creationism unconstitutional, Beckwith observes that intelligent design poses a new challenge to legal scholars. Beckwith provides a thorough treatment of the subject.
"The Design of Life" is out
The Design of Life, written by leading ID theorists William Dembski and Jonathan Wells, brings readers up to speed on the numerous advancements of ID over the past 20 years. Design of Life recounts many of the peer-reviewed scientific papers, scientific books, and laboratory studies completed by ID theorists. It offers an excellent up-to-date account of ID for any reader.
For the newcomer to ID, Design of Life offers clearly written and well-illustrated chapters explicating ID's basic scientific concepts, such as irreducible complexity and specified complexity.

"Judgement Day: Intelligent Design on Trial"
From the York Daily Record...
A documentary about Dover Area School District's intelligent design trial will air on public television Tuesday. The two-hour special, titled "Judgement Day: Intelligent Design on Trial," will run on NOVA, a science program on PBS.
The program will include a reenactment of the trial and interviews with experts who tackle questions about evolution. U.S. District Court Judge John E. Jones III will read excerpts from his 2005 federal court ruling against the school district.

NOVA Program on Intelligent Design Biased
ENV reports that Paula Apsell, senior producer for NOVA's propaganda piece on intelligent design, Judgment Day, felt "compelled" to make the docudrama. Journalists are usually only "compelled" to report on events by their editors, or by the newsiness (timeliness, proximity, impact, conflict, etc) of a specific issue/event.
So, why were Apsell and NOVA compelled to make this program?
Apsell...If the decision had gone the other way, it could have had dire consequences for science education in this country. Clearly, Apsell has an agenda.

In this conversation with D.J. Grothe, Behe discusses his prominent role in the ID movement, and how he first got involved. He explores the differences between creationism and Intelligent Design theory, and details some of his experiences as a key witness for the defense in the Dover, Pennsylvania Intelligent Design trial. He also explains the thesis of his new book, and talks about what he considers the biases of mainstream science.

Discovery Institute: PBS Teacher's Guide Injects Religion into the Classroom
In the Republican Valley, a report that a "Briefing Packet for Educators" just issued by PBS in conjunction with the NOVA program Judgment Day: Intelligent Design on Trial inserts religion into the classroom and encourages teaching practices that are likely unconstitutional, says Discovery Institute.
"The NOVA/PBS teaching guide encourages the injection of religion into classroom teaching about evolution in a way that likely would violate current Supreme Court precedents about the First Amendment's Establishment Clause," says Dr. John West, vice president for public policy and legal affairs with Discovery Institute.

More on Antony Flew
Mark Oppenheimer, in the New York Times Magazine, writes about Antony Flew in the article entitled "The Turning of an Atheist".
From the tone of the article, Oppenheimer is doing much to discredit Flew and the book. He describes Flew as a pleasant old man with aphasia. In the Ben Wiker interview, Flew was with it...fresh and witty.
In this day...it is said that intelligent people do not believe in God. Flew's defection is proof that he must no longer be intelligent.
