Fun: Why is a human body halfway between the mass of a proton and the sun?
That’s what they say, anyway, at Wolfram Math: “The human body has a mass that, more or less, is halfway between the mass of the proton (~1.672×10 ² kg) and the mass of the Sun (~1.988×10³ kg). A value very close to the mass of an average human body is the geometric mean of those two values”

Why Michael Denton is an important but under-recognized figure in the ID community
Here’s an interesting assessment of non-Darwinian microbiologist Michael Denton’s work: in The Miracle of the Cell he concentrates on one example of fine-tuning after another… Biologists may have once held simplistic notions about the origin of life, back in the heady days following the iconic Miller-Urey experiment. They may have thought they were on the right track toward explaining life when the double helix was discovered in the 1950s. It might have seemed that the cell was simple enough to explain by a few accidents here and a handful of lucky chemical reactions there. Research since then has put that false hope to rest. Denton’s most famous work was his 1985 book Evolution: A Theory in Crisis. It was both Read More ›

“Why Evolution is Different” Video Now in 4 Languages
Science has been so successful explaining other phenomena in terms of purely unintelligent natural forces, why should evolution be so different? That is the primary argument against intelligent design, and it is the reason that Darwinism, an extremely implausible theory which becomes even more implausible with every new biological and biochemical discovery—but the best theory materialists have to offer—is still so popular today. And it is the main subject of a video which was introduced at Evolution News last June, and which has now been translated into three languages. Most non-scientists intuitively understand that explaining how plants and animals, and intelligent, conscious humans, could have arisen from a lifeless, barren planet is a very different and much more difficult problem Read More ›
