Matter of time for intelligent design
The Spiritual Brain
The Spiritual Brain is a new Harper Collins book that addresses the timely question "Did God create the brain, or does the brain create God?". Drawing on cutting-edge research in brain imaging done on Carmelite nuns, neuroscientist Mario Beauregard and award-winning writer Denyse O'Leary examine the latest scientific evidence that flies in the face of current materialistic explanations of our existence.
Here's a few endorsements:
"If you have a mind, you will find The Spiritual Brain a refreshing antidote to the strange arguments offered by some scientists ... that their minds, and yours, are meaningless illusions." - Dean Radin, PhD, Senior Scientist, Institute of Noetic Sciences and author of The Conscious Universe
The Spiritual Brain offers a unique perspective to the ongoing dialogue between science and religion. This book is a necessary read for both the scientist and the religious person.
-Andrew Newberg, M.D. , co-author of Why We Believe What We Believe
"The Spiritual Brain is a very important book. It clearly explains non-materialist neuroscience in simple terms appropriate for the lay reader, while building on ... academic publications."
- Jeffrey Schwartz, neuropsychiatrist, author of The Mind and the Brain
"I truly was bowled over by the book, ... In The Spiritual Brain neuroscientist Mario Beauregard and science writer Denyse O’Leary push back hard."
- Michael Behe, author of Edge of Evolution
I've just finished reading The Spiritual Brain. It's superb, and is a milestone in what I think is going to be a 'long twilight struggle' against materialist neuroscience.

The Privileged Planet: Such a Dangerous Idea Its Author Had To Be Stifled
Regular visitors to Evolution News & Views know well the recent trials and tribulations of astronomer Guillermo Gonzalez, who was denied tenure in spite of his stellar credentials. Now it seems the rest of the world will learn about Gonzalez' persecution for being a proponent of intelligent design.
Expelled, the forthcoming film that explores the academic persecution of pro-ID scientists, apparently will be featuring some of Gonzalez's story. After his tenure was denied earlier this year, a faculty member at ISU on the tenure committee admitted he voted against Gonzalez because of his support for, and research into, intelligent design theory.
John Cornwell on Dawkins
In The Guardian Unlimited, John Cornwell struggled with his faith for two decades before finally returning to Christianity. Here he explains why Richard Dawkins, and all those who believe religion is the root of all evil, completely fail to understand what it means to believe.

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.
