On Not Reading The Signature in the Cell: A Response to Francisco Ayala (Part 1)
Stephen Meyer responds to Francisco J. Ayala's review of his book Signiture in the Cell.
Intelligently Designed???
A great example of ID...and far less complex than the working inside a human cell, as shown in THIS ANIMATION.
What Do Darwinism and 'Climate Change' Have in Common?
In the EnterpriseBlog, Jay Richards comments on the story in the New York Times about the linking of climate change and evolution.
Richards opines...there are budding initiatives in state legislatures and boards of education to encourage or require balance in classroom discussions of global warming. The point of the piece, though, is to connect the teaching of evolution to the climate change debate:
Critics of the teaching of evolution in the nation's classrooms are gaining ground in some states by linking the issue to global warming, arguing that dissenting views on both scientific subjects should be taught in public schools.
Now when I read anything on the environment in the New York Times, I try to keep a couple of deconstructionist qualifiers running in the back of my head: "This is what the New York Times wants me to believe about the issue" and "What are they trying to accomplish with this piece?" I know it's cynical, but when it comes to environmental stories, I just don't trust New York Times reporters to keep it straight.
Some things they want to accomplish with this piece:
Recently Analyzed Fossil Was Not Human Ancestor As Claimed, Anthropologists Say
A fossil that was celebrated last year as a possible "missing link" between humans and early primates is actually a forebearer of modern-day lemurs and lorises, according to two papers by scientists at The University of Texas at Austin, Duke University and the University of Chicago.
In an article now available online in the Journal of Human Evolution, four scientists present evidence that the 47-million-year-old Darwinius masillae is not a haplorhine primate like humans, apes and monkeys, as the 2009 research claimed.
They also note that the article on Darwinius published last year in the journal PLoS ONE ignores two decades of published research showing that similar fossils are actually strepsirrhines, the primate group that includes lemurs and lorises.
R. C. Sproul interviews Stephen Meyer
Well known theologist, R.C. Sproul, interviewed Stephen Meyer, author of Signature in the Cell: DNA and the Evidence for Intelligent Design, on philosophy, evolution, education, Intelligent Design, and more.

ID Debate between William Lane Craig and Francisco J. Ayala
This debate was held at Indiana University.
Craig's analysis, as usual, was beautifully precise and accurate.

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.
