In an unsurprising act of cowardice, not a single Darwimpian defender of the faith scientist had the balls fiber to stand up to our fearless leader in Kansas yesterday. Read More ›
In a most excellent article one of the modern greats of science fiction weighs in on the controversy between ID and Darwinian evolution. Read Creation and Evolution in the Schools by Orson Scott Card.
My optimism that the “Vise Strategy” would eventually supersede the notorious “Wedge Strategy” is finally finding some justification (for the Vise Strategy, go here). It appears that the Vise Strategy is now beginning to get its proper due:
It’s possible for Christians to render unto God and unto Darwin By David Hawpe
My guess is that the recent forum on intelligent design at Broadway Baptist Church did not satisfy William Dembski’s preference for a “vise strategy,” in which the apostates who believe in evolution are hauled before tribunals to answer.
It has come to my attention that some of our best informed ID supporters don’t believe politics are important to winning and that science education is the key. Now I dearly love science but without politics providing us a level playing field our arguments from math and science are doomed to being censored. Read More ›

More than 10,000 pastors nationwide have signed “The Clergy Letter” of support for Evolution Sunday Feb. 12, a day designed to bring attention to a movement that believes there is a way to bridge the gap between the theory of evolution and creation theology. Read More ›
Single locus Complementary Sex Determination in Hymenoptera: an “unintelligent” design? Frontiers in Zoology 2006, 3:1 doi:10.1186/1742-9994-3-1 Ellen van Wilgenburg (ellenv@unimelb.edu.au) Gerard Driessen (gerard.driessen@ecology.falw.vu.nl) Leo W Beukeboom (l.w.beukeboom@rug.nl) Abstract. The haplodiploid sex determining mechanism in Hymenoptera (males are haploid, females are diploid) has played an important role in the evolution of this insect order. In Hymenoptera sex is usually determined by a single locus, heterozygotes are female and hemizygotes are male. Under inbreeding, homozygous diploid and sterile males occur which form a genetic burden for a population. We review life history and genetical traits that may overcome the disadvantages of single locus complementary sex determination (sl-CSD). Behavioural adaptations to avoid matings between relatives include active dispersal from natal patches and mating Read More ›
Chinese scientists have found an interesting sample–a cretaceous symmetrodont therian with some monotreme like postcranial features–in the Liaoning fossil beds which they have named Akidolestes cifellii. Read More ›
