Evolutionists use the multiverse idea to explain how their improbable idea that all of biology, and everything else, just happened to arise spontaneously. We know from science that the idea is improbable, but that is only if we restrict ourselves to our particular universe. What if there are many universes? A great many universes. So many universes that even improbable events are eventually likely to occur, in at least one of them. And since there is no upper bound on the number of universes there may be out there, even astronomically unlikely events—like millions and millions of incredible species, each with their incredible designs—become just another yawner. So what, it was bound to happen. And when said evolution occurs, then Read More ›

British newspaper Nature reports that one of the 9 authors of a paper purporting to show that the HIV virus does not cause AIDS is now being investigated for illegally dissenting from scientific consensus. Now one of the whole purposes of University tenure, was to protect professors from the sort of the witch-hunts that political parties cannot resist engaging in. Unlike UK, UVa, PSU, and most American universities, will Galileo’s old University of Florence be able to resist the allure of political correctness? We will just have to see. But that led to the question, what is it about some topics that seem to attract politicians like flies to honey? Why is it that AIDS research is such a political Read More ›

A.E. Wilder-Smith (1915-1995), though a young-earth creationist, focused on information-theoretic arguments for design that prefigured subsequent work by Charles Thaxton and other ID proponents. Here’s an insightful interview for Dutch TV that he did in the 1970s:

A previous blog on Devonian tetrapods remarked on their aquatic lifestyles and noted their suite of mosaic characters that make discussion of evolutionary trajectories highly speculative. Few fossils from the lower Carboniferous were known, but the diversified forms from the middle and upper Carboniferous were clearly components of terrestrial faunas. So, we find a group of aquatic amphibians in the Upper Devonian and a diversified group of terrestrial amphibians in the middle-upper Carboniferous. The puzzle is the lack of any terrestrial fossil material in the lower Carboniferous, leaving evolutionary palaeontologists little or no data to work with. The absence of evidence has been so noticeable that this part of the record has been labelled Romer’s Gap (after the distinguished American Read More ›
