Interview: Jay Richards Elaborates on the Controversy Over Intelligent Design
One ID proponent, Jay Richards, research fellow of the Acton Institute and senior fellow at the Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture, recently spoke at a "Darwin vs. Design" conference in Knoxville, Tenn. He strongly urges people to question the validity of evolution, and hopes that ID can gain more support in the future.
Richards was interviewed by The Christian Post's Doug Huntington to give his take the recent storm over the origins of life.
What is Wrong with Elliot Sober's Attack on ID? (Part III)
Here is installment #3 in a series by Casey Luskin of the Discovery Institute.

For you coffee-lovers out there, Starbucks has just put out a cup with the following printed on it:

Darwinism's impact on traditional social values has not been as benign as its advocates would like us to believe. Despite the efforts of its modern defenders to distance themselves from its baleful social consequences, Darwinism's connection with eugenics, abortion and racism is a matter of historical record. And the record is not pretty.
Dr. Jonathan Wells
Biologist and author of The Politically Incorrect Guide to Darwinism and Intelligent Design.

The Debate over Darwin vs. Design Continues at SMU
Here is more from Evolution News & Views on how some SMU biology professors want to guard their turf (paradigm).
Supporting Darwinism Is Protected Free Speech, Voicing Scientific Challenges Is Not
Evolution News & Views has a write up on the SMU and New Mexico controversies.
Creationists drop religion for intelligence
Rikki Hall, of the Knoxville Metro Pulse, who is obviously not on ID's side, writes a fairly fair commentary on the recent Design vs Darwin Conference in Knoxville, TN.
Letters: Intelligent design AT SMU
In the Dallas Morning News, letters to the editor are wondering why a "Methodist" university have so many intolerant, close-minded professors. Good question. May SMU is MINO (Methodist in Name Only)
The fight against academic freedom is rooted in the worry that Darwinism's weakness will be revealed
Joe Renick, who helped draft legislation of a controversial bill in NM, comments in the Albuquerque Tribune.
The principle objectives of this legislation are to "give teachers the right and freedom, when a theory of biological origins is taught, to objectively inform students of scientific information relevant to the strengths and weaknesses of that theory and protect teachers from reassignment, termination, discipline or other discrimination for doing so," and to give students the "right and freedom to reach their own conclusions about biological origins."
Renick comments that "There is a lawyer's adage that says, 'If the facts are on your side, argue the facts. If the law is on your side, argue the law. If neither are on your side, change the subject and go after the motives of your opponent.' Bingo! Right out of the Darwinist playbook."
If you could be a fly on the wall - now you can!
Rarely does the public catch a glimpse of how Darwinists actually behave toward colleagues who disagree with their view of biological origins. Thus, as a public service, William Dembski presents a correspondence, initiated by Darwinists and unsolicited by our side, that provides readers of Uncommon Descent with such a glimpse.

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.
