Can We Have More Civility?
Casey Luskin...in ENV...writes a brief overview of the incivility of many who are not on the side of Intelligent Design.
Stephen Meyer Debates Keith Fox on Premier Radio UK
As reported in ENV...During a recent visit to London, Dr. Stephen Meyer was invited to debate Keith Fox on Premier Radio UK about issues raised in Meyer's 2009 book Signature in the Cell.
Fox, the man chosen to debate with Meyer, is professor of biochemistry at the University of Southampton, England. He holds a PhD in Pharmacology from Cambridge, and his research on DNA focuses on the molecules, oligonucleotides, and proteins that bind to DNA in sequence-specific patterns.
In a lively yet respectful discussion moderated by host Justin Brierly, Meyer explains the argument of Signature in the Cell: "The enigma is where did the information [in DNA] come from?"
Fox, who believes in God as creator but opposes intelligent design, calls ID theory a "science stopper" because it invokes a designer. Fox finds Meyer's arguments difficult to swallow because they are not based on purely naturalistic or materialistic processes.
Lynn Margulis, Acclaimed Biologist and Critic of Neo-Darwinism, Dies
As reported in ENV...Lynn Margulis, an eminent evolutionary biologist, professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, has died. She was 73 years old.
Dr. Margulis was well known for advancing the theory of endosymbiosis, which hypothesizes that eukaryotic cells arose when prokaryotic cells engulfed other prokaryotic cells and formed a symbiotic relationship. According to the theory, the engulfed cells ultimately evolved into cellular organelles like mitochondria or chloroplasts found in many eukaryotic cells.
Judge Sends NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab to Jury Trial for Firing Employee Who Discussed Intelligent Design
From ENV...A Los Angeles County Superior Court judge ruled that a jury will decide whether NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL) unlawfully discriminated against a former employee for discussing the scientific theory of intelligent design (ID) at work.
David Coppedge, a 14-year JPL veteran and team lead computer administrator on the Cassini Mission to Saturn, was demoted for lending ID-related DVDs to coworkers, behavior that one JPL complainant called "harassment," and another branded "pushing religion." After he filed suit to vindicate his free expression rights, JPL terminated Coppedge.

- 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.
