BU administration silencing science by design
Walt Ruloff, the executive producer of the Ben Stein movie EXPELLED: NO INTELLIGENCE ALLOWED, has an amazing op-ed in the Baylor Lariat, the school newspaper.
"It may sound like a crazy question, but it needs to be asked: Does the administration at Baylor believe in God?"
"This is a legitimate question in light of the university's heavy-handed actions in shutting down the research Web site of Dr. Robert Marks."
The Unpardonable Sin in Academia
Regis Nicoll for Crosswalk.com, asks the question, "What do William Dembski, Frank Beckwith, and Dr. Robert J. Marks have in common? All three have been victims of academic suppression at not at Cornell, Stanford or MIT, but at Baylor University - the world's largest institute of higher learning in the Baptist tradition."
"In 2001, Baylor shut down the Michael Polanyi Center and removed Dr. William Dembski as its director because of the center's focus on ID. Last year, Baylor tried to deny tenure to Frank Beckwith - a scholar who is recognized as a world class philosopher with a prodigious publication record and high teaching marks - for his views on ID. And now the campus thought police has Robert Marks in its crosshairs."
Secrets Of Protein Folding Coming Unlocked
ScienceDaily reports that a team led by biophysicist Jeremy Smith of the University of Tennessee and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has taken a significant step toward unraveling the mystery of how proteins fold into unique, three-dimensional shapes.
To me, this protein folding seems to be remarkably designed...see for yourself.
Prof. to explain evolution debate at UW-Madison
Matt Hibbard, reporting for Maneater, tells of a University of Wisconsin-Madison professor who will confront the debate between intelligent design and evolution in a lecture on September 20th. The lecture, open to students and staff, will address key points on both sides of the topic.
Philosophy professor Elliot Sober said he hopes this lecture clarifies the main differences between the two ideas.
"The main ideas in evolutionary idea are supported by lots of evidence," Sober said. "Intelligent design is not a genuine scientific theory; it doesn't make any novel predictions."
Kansas vs Darwin
May, 2005: The Kansas state school board again captures the world's attention with its evolution controversy - this time by holding scientific hearings that put Darwin's long-held theory on trial. Get face-to-face with the people behind this historic event, and see for yourself what really happened - and why.

- 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.
