I attended and spoke at a meeting in Erzurum in eastern Turkey on May 7. Suppose I told you the topic of the meeting was “Partial Differential Equations in Geophysical Modeling,” and then I added, since the meeting was in Turkey, the majority of the speakers and attendees were Muslim. You would say, the religious […]

Evolution: Education and Outreach is usually a disappointment. The journal could do with more philosophically savvy writers and more critical reviewers. The various contributions provide very little evidence that they understand Kuhn’s thesis about the way science develops. Most of the authors are working in a silo and fail to understand anyone who operates outside […]
There isn’t evidence for gravitational waves, let alone big claims – Nature

The Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve is Actually Really Complex

In Charles Darwin’s one long argument against final causes, teleology, separate creation, independent creation or as he sometimes simply put it, the “ordinary view,” he complained, among other things, that notions of independent creation were tantamount to rejecting “a real for an unreal, or at least for an unknown, cause.” Furthermore, separate and innumerable acts […]

Naw. Get outta here. Can’t be. By the way, how come nothing is ever less complex than previously thought? A law of nature?
The importance of cell membranes

Our deepest theories in science are wrong?

Even if they could, the programmer should claim the prize.
Evolution Professor: I Was Not Talking About Teleology
| May 27, 2014 | Posted by Cornelius Hunter under Intelligent Design |
Evolution is interesting because while it is based on religious beliefs, evolutionists insist it is all about science. Consider, for example, PZ Myers as he writes in the Los Angeles Times that God would not have created this world, while nonetheless claiming that he’s just following the scientific evidence. Or consider Jerry Coyne who goes into great […]
