More Complex than Previously Thought – Part XI – Simple Bacteria?

Because of their rigid adherence to a failed framework, Darwinists have continuously been surprised at the sophistication of even the simplest organisms.  The researchers examined mycoplasma pneumoniae and found the following. The inner workings of a supposedly simple bacterial cell have turned out to be much more sophisticated than expected. An in-depth “blueprint” of an [...]

The God Gene Redux

Darwinists of all stripes can hardly refrain from evolutionary storytelling when it comes to human psychology.  Not surprisingly, they focus largely on their opponents–those who have faith in God.  The recent work by archeologists Joyce Marcus and Kent Flannery seems to follow the familiar template.1  Start with an actual study, then speculate wildly about how [...]

Expelled Exposed…Exposed

From the website NCSE Exposed: Of course critics of ID (like the folks at the NCSE) should have every right to publish their views within academic circles and should have the full protection of academic freedom. But academic freedom doesn’t just mean the freedom to agree with the predominant viewpoint. Academic freedom in science means [...]

Correlation does not imply causation unless Darwin is involved

You have probably heard the saying, “correlation does not imply causation.” In other words, just because two things are associated, it does not mean that one causes the other. Perhaps this time-honored standard of scientific investigation should be amended based on what is often practiced by Darwinists. I propose, “correlation and Darwinian storytelling imply causation.” [...]

Faith and Evolution: New Website

William Dembski posted on a new website launched by the Discovery Institute (faithandevolution.org).  The design is sleek, and there is some useful information there.  I was reading some of the information on theistic evolution and came across this astounding passage: And biologist Kenneth Miller of Brown University, author of the popular book Finding Darwin’s God [...]

Life: Transcending Nature's Laws

Much is made of naturalism being a necessary basis for science.  Indeed, we are told that science cannot exists with any other basis.  Curiously, life seems to transcend some basic principles or laws of the natural world.  It defies the second law of thermodynamics, which is, briefly stated, that the level of disorder (entropy) in [...]

Idiocricy, Political Correctness, Darwinism, and Eugenics

The Outsider (DB), has an excellent post on these matters. “Idiocricy:” A Bad Comedy or Covert Eugenics (Genetics) Propaganda?

Science, ID, and Darwinism

In an experiment, there are one of more hypotheses. When positive predictions are made, there necessarily exists what is called a null hypothesis. The null hypothesis should be stated formally, and constructed before the study is conducted. H0: Two simultaneous mutations are the upper limit for providing any functional advantage by evolutionary processes. H1: Evolutionary [...]

Earlier than Expected: Series Introduction

As an introduction to this series, let me explain why this topic is important. Darwinists needed deep time to give their theory even a modicum of believability. Thus, as time has passed, the age of the Earth and Universe has increased. Now, I wouldn’t claim that this is completely without evidence, but it is based [...]

Migration Patterns

Over on UD is a fascinating comment: Two points: 1- Gene duplication, in order to do something, also requires all the meta-information- a binding site, a promoter, an enhancer and a repressor. Otherwise all the gene duplication in the world will not do anything except add more DNA to the existing genome. 2- In his [...]
