In Search of the Designer of Intelligent Design
Kazmer Ujvarosy, in the American Chronicle, does a survey of ID, and interviews Mike Keas who teaches in the Master of Arts program in Science and Religion (MASR) at Biola University.
Ujvarosy seems very adamant about specifically identifying the designer, which ID proponent says is beyond the scope of science.
The fundamental essence of reality boils down to either a necessary, eternal being, or the cosmos springing from something outside of itself, or ultimately nothing. Science cannot address this, but philosophy and theology can.
ID friendly mom joins Ohio State School Board
Annie Hall, of the Cincinnati Enquirer, reports that a little-known West Chester mom who'd never won elected public office knocked off an incumbent.
Susan Haverkos, who spent $3,500 of her own money on her campaign, defeated school board member Tom Gunlock and two other opponents. Gunlock and the other candidates each spent three times as much, according to the Secretary of State's Office.
Haverkos emphasized support for teaching intelligent design in 10th-grade science classes - an issue over which the 19-member board has clashed.
In Russia, a test of God vs. Darwin
Erika Niedowski, of the Baltimore Sun, writes that Russia's first-ever lawsuit on Charles Darwin's theory of evolution began with a biology textbook, a bunch of bananas and a man dressed in a monkey suit.
The case revolves around 16-year-old Mariya Shraiber, who says her biology text presents a one-sided version of life's origins based on Darwin's theory. The lawsuit challenges Darwin's theory as anti-religious, atheistic and unproven.
H. Allen Orr attacks Dawkins
In Evolution News & Views, a report is posted on a review of Richard Dawkins book, The God Delusion.
H. Allen Orr complains on the issue related to the scientific theory of intelligent design - namely, Dawkins' extensive reliance upon the "who designed the designer" objection. Why, says Orr, is Dawkins so untroubled by his own (large) assumption that both matter and the laws of nature can be viewed as a given? Isn't that question-begging?
Orr concludes "I once labeled Dawkins a professional atheist, I'm forced, after reading his new book, to conclude he's actually more an amateur."
Senior UK academics support TiS
As reported in the Sunday London Times, twelve senior academics have written to the Prime Minister and Education Secretary in support of Truth in Science.
The group was lead by Norman Nevin OBE, Professor Emeritus of Medical Genetics, Queen's University of Belfast and included Antony Flew, former Professor of Philosophy at Reading University and a distinguished supporter of humanism.

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.
