Dr. Shallit Takes the Fifth
Another great post on ENV...which is the question we always ask of Darwinists: If the scientific discovery of a 'blueprint' (in a signal from space) would justify the design inference, then why is it unreasonable to infer that the genetic code was designed?
The answer to the question is easy, "it isn't." Aren't they looking for the Truth, instead of trying to argue for a teetering worldview?
Richard Dawkins on the Origin of Genetic Information
ENV has a link to the raw footage of Richard Dawkins trying to answer the question of where genetic information came from. To say he was flummoxed would be an understatement.
Yale Prof seeks to reconcile science, faith
Anna Grasza, of the Yale Daily News, reported on a talk given by Yale Professor Fred Sigworth, who has taught and done reasearch in the Department of Cellular and Molecular Physiology since 1991.
Grasza reported that "Sigworth launched into a lecture that stressed the compatibility of science and faith by focusing on the idea of the 'unexpected vista,' the discovery or witnessing of a unique occurrence, a phenomenon which he said was common to science and religion."
"Sigworth's talk spanned the foundations of modern science and the debate over evolution and intelligent design, with ample reference to philosophy and the Bible."
How to Teach Intelligent Design, SMU Style: "You don't have to teach both sides of a debate if one side is a load of crap"
As blogged by Casey Luskin at ENV, this past spring, anti-ID faculty at Southern Methodist University (SMU) refused to engage in a debate over intelligent design. Now that Discovery Institute's activities on the SMU campus are over, some of these faculty are sponsoring a course entitled "The Scientific Method - Critical and Creative Thinking (Debunking Pseudoscience)." The course has a clear bias against ID, as the course website has a page devoted to ID titled "(Un)Intelligent Design."
Pivotal Hearing Structure Revealed
ScienceDaily reports that scientists have shed light on how our bodies convert vibrations entering the ear into electrical signals that can be interpreted by the brain. Exactly how the electrical signal is generated has been the subject of ongoing research interest.
After reading the brief article, it seems impossible that this could have evolved by random mutation and natural selection. Yet, the Darwinists always seem to fall back on the "creative power" of millions of years.

- Telic Thoughts
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.
