Darwin and the Nazis
Darwin and the Nazis
By Richard Weikart
Published 4/16/2008, The American Spectator
Richard Dawkins, PZ Myers, and some other Darwinists are horrified that the forthcoming documentary, Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed, will promote Intelligent Design to a large audience when it opens at over a thousand theaters nationwide on April 18. Ironically, their campaign to discredit Ben Stein and the film confirms its main point, which is to expose the persecution meted out by Darwinists to those daring to criticize Darwinian theory. more...
Academic Freedom Loses Again
Regis Nicoll, in the Salvo Blog...
For those who think that the object of science is to follow the truth wherever it leads, there's this in from the AP: "Some scientists are urging Florida's Legislature to reject a bill that would protect teachers from being fired if they present information challenging evolution."
If you're wondering why any scientific theory should be immune from criticism in institutions which are supposedly training young people for critical thinking, it's because the stalwarts of science orthodoxy have proclaimed, ex academia, that evolution is "a scientific fact" and that its alternative, Intelligent Design, is "religion posing as science." Neither is true.
Behe to speak in northern Colorado about Intelligent Design
Michael Behe will give his first lecture at 7 p.m. on Thursday, April 17th in the Ballrooms of the University Center of the University of Northern Colorado, 11th Avenue and 20th Street in Greeley. He will then speak at 3 p.m. on Friday, April 18th at the Colorado State University Lory Student Center Theater and again at 7 p.m. on Friday at Timberline Church, 2908 S. Timberline Road in Fort Collins.
All of the lectures will be free and open to the public.
Clunky Attack on "Expelled" Reveals More Than Intended
In ENV...The National Center for Science Education has just unveiled its expanded website denouncing the upcoming movie "Expelled," but the website's clunky attacks merely provide confirmation that the film's essential thesis is correct: Darwinists really don't believe in academic freedom regarding evolution, and they're more than willing to smear any scientist who disagrees with them.
The basic thrust of the NCSE's website seems to be the preposterous claim that pro-ID scientists never, ever face harassment, intimidation, or persecution. Not ever! Scientists who claim otherwise - such as biologist Richard Sternberg, astronomer Guillermo Gonzalez, and Baylor University engineering professor Robert Marks - must be cry-babies or worse.
The NCSE's approach is otherwise known as "blaming the victim."

- 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.
