By Jay Richards Unless you’ve been hiding in a cave, you’ve heard of “intelligent design” (ID) and some of its leading proponents—Phillip Johnson, Michael Behe, William Dembski. Unfortunately, you probably got the mainstream media’s spin. It’s so predictable, I sometimes wonder if reporters aren’t using computer macros. The reporter types control-alt “CE” and out [...]
Review by Zach Stearns I am disheartened by the dearth of actual consideration displayed by many reviewers of this book. One cannot simply rant about Dembski’s past work and call it a book review. The reason for The Design Revolution is to handle the same criticisms that are cited in many of the Amazon reviews of [...] [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwVmbJU7_LY] By David H. Rogstad, Ph.D. The intricate design present in biological systems never ceases to amaze. A few months ago I wrote about molecular motors present in biological cells and how they are giving insight to researchers in nanotechnology, either providing them with improved motor designs or actual devices to use in driving man-made [...]
By Mario A. Lopez Michael J. Behe is Professor of Biological Sciences at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania. He received his Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the University of Pennsylvania in 1978. Behe’s current research involves delineation of design and natural selection in protein structures. In addition to publishing over 35 articles in refereed biochemical journals, [...]
By C.S. Lewis Society Prof. Thomas Nagel, a self-declared atheist who earned his PhD. in philosophy at Harvard 45 years ago, who has been a professor at U.C. Berkeley, Princeton, and the last 28 years at New York University, and who has published ten books and more than 60 articles, has published an important [...] By Fazale Rana, Ph.D. Part Two of Two Last week I mentioned that in graduate school I studied and conducted research on cell membranes. The fluid mosaic model for the structure of cell membranes that I learned in the mid 1980s was conceived only about a decade earlier. And as I noted last week, within the [...]
By Casey Luskin A 1982 poll found that only 9% of Americans believed that humans developed through purely natural evolutionary processes. Two years later, the U.S. National Academy of Sciences (NAS) issued its first Science and Creationism booklet, stating that science and religion occupy “separate and mutually exclusive realms.”1 Public skepticism of evolution remained high—a [...]
By Hugh Ross, Ph.D. Many science-fiction movies feature aliens with slight bodies and enormous brains. Such portrayals support the theme that an extraterrestrial ecosystem might permit the existence of a superintellect race that could develop the technology for interstellar space travel. These creatures may look impressive on screen, but this theme violates the laws [...]
By Fazale Rana, Ph.D. As a junior in college I experienced love at first sight. (No, I didn’t meet my wife then; that encounter happened during my sophomore year. I fell in love with my wife—who is also a biochemist—because there was such good chemistry between the two of us. But I digress.) During my junior [...] |
