Which is worse?
Who makes the greater error, he/she who wrongly believes that the world is only 6-10 thousand years old, or he/she who wrongly believes the world is just an accident of physics and chemistry?

Is this the Dumbest Ever “Refutation” of the Fine-Tuning Argument?
Yesterday, I happened to come across a highly critical review (New Humanist, Volume 124, Issue 2, March/April 2009) by the British philosopher Professor Anthony Grayling of a book titled, Questions of Truth: Responses to Questions about God, Science and Belief (Westminster John Knox Press, 2009), co-authored by physicist Dr. John Polkinghorne, KBE, FRS, a former physics professor at Cambridge who is also an Anglican priest and theologian, and his long-standing collaborator, Nicholas Beale, FRSA. The book has a foreword written by Professor Antony Hewish, FRS (Nobel Laureate, Physics, 1974) and it was also endorsed by William D.

Rib Development Interdependencies: More Complicated Than We Would Have Imagined
Research published last year out of Portugal shows that the development of ribs is more complicated than evolutionists imagined. It turns out that in the developing embryo, rib growth is promoted by one pathway and inhibited by another. The end result is a delicate balancing act between the two to construct the proper design.

FOR RECORD: What we are dealing with . . . an example of web stalking and vandalism
This morning, I had occasion to visit a blog based course site I have developed, for working with a church in the Caribbean. This is a sample of the stalking and vandalism I discovered there, from the hate site owner: xxx, the religious wacko who owns and runs this site, blames all the world’s ills, including Hitler and the nazis, on Darwin, atheists, and material evolutionists. To see the truth about Hitler and the nazis, see these XXXXXXX: XXXXXX is a LYING, arrogant, bloviating, sanctimonious, ignorant, uneducated, abusive, delusional god zombie. See this site for a lot more about XXXXX: November 18, 2011 3:17 AM Now, this vandalism of a site wholly unrelated to the matters debated at UD (and Read More ›
