Discovery Institute Responses to PBS/NOVA's "Judgment Day: Intelligent Design on Trial" Movie
As their birthday gift to Charles Darwin, yesterday many PBS stations re-aired the "Judgment Day: Intelligent Design on Trial" movie that they first released in November, 2007. The "documentary" purports to re-tell the story of the Kitzmiller v. Dover trial, but it portrays an extremely inaccurate, biased, and one-sided view of the case.
Happy Birthday Darwin!
On February 12, 2009 we celebrate Charles Darwin's 200th birthday. At ARN we would like to celebrate his birth with an often overlooked quote from Darwin's Introduction to his famous book On the Origin of Species,
"I am well aware that scarcely a single point is discussed in this volume on which facts cannot be adduced, often apparently leading to conclusions directly opposite to those at which I have arrived. A fair result can be obtained only by fully stating and balancing the facts and arguments on both sides of each question, and this cannot possibly
be done here."
Just what opposite conclusions did he have in mind? Did natural selection prevent major evolutionary change from occurring on a gradual step-by-step basis thus accounting for stasis and the conservation of the basic body plans of life since the Cambrian Explosion? Why are the pervasive patterns of natural history essentially backwards to Darwinian predictions?
There's a birthday party being thrown at www.charlesdarwin.org.
Surprise!

- 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.
