Barrett Clown, oh pardon me, Barrett Brown, thinks he makes an argument against ID by humor and satire alone here at The Huffington Post. He is, after all, to be taken deadly seriously, he’s written for National Lampoon for goodness sakes and written a book about Dodo birds. Not really, Dodo birds were really just straw men, or, more accurately, scare crows. If satire counts for argument, then my blog post has done the same job that Barrett’s has. Revel in the irony that Barret would write about “bits of information” to prove his point; Bits of information are no longer compartmentalized like so many scattered VHS tapes and gothic rock album liner notes, which is why Dembski and company Read More ›

Marvin Olasky, in an article at Townhall.com, makes a simple request: that Dr. Francis Collins, former leader of the Human Genome Project and President Obama’s recent nominee to direct the National Institutes of Health, come to King’s College in the Empire State Building and spend an hour discussing Darwinism and ID with Dr. Stephen Meyer of the Discovery Institute. Mr. Olasky states, What I and many others need help with is the science. I’ll put it simply and personally: I like Collins and find him convincing as he attacks ID. But when I hear Steve Meyer, author of Signature in the Cell, a major new book published by HarperCollins and reviewed positively by many scientists, expound the flaws in Darwinism, Read More ›

September 25 is the release date for the movie Creation in the UK, which tells the story of Darwin’s plight of being a perfectly innocent and doe-eyed scientist coming to grips with the unsavory religious implications of his perfectly honest science (the website claims artistic license in telling the story, and I take their word for it). The movie particularly focuses on the religiously charged conflict that arises between Charles and his religiously faithful wife Emma, as the trailer makes clear. The film is being supported by the Christian group Damaris in their campaign of advancing Theistic Evolution. The movie is based on the book Annie’s Box by Randall Keynes, who is Darwin’s great-great-grandson.

Dr. Stephen C. Meyer will be appearing on the Laura Ingraham show this coming Tuesday, June 23rd, at 11:00 a.m., EST. They will be discussing Dr. Meyer’s new book Signature in the Cell, DNA and the Evidence for Intelligent Design. For information on the new book please visit www.signatureinthecell.com. They will be joined by Francis Collins, author of The Language of God.  You won’t want to miss this discussion.

Ladies and Gents, Schemes and Themes, and all Things in Between, it has been revealed to me by Memes, which I know now are truly called Themes, the true and tragic tale of Memes. In a very distant galaxy called Gleams, on a planet known as Dreams, a terrible war erupted among the parties of the Materialistic Regimes. Engaged in the conflict were the ruling party, known as Schemes, and the revolutionary party, known as Themes. The Themes were led by a ruthless leader, who had once been a member of the Schemes, named Xeme. After a long campaign that was very difficult and extreme, and in spite of very courageous fighting on their own steam, the Themes were beaten Read More ›

The following essay was originally Antony Flew’s “Theology and Falsification” that Flew read before the Socratic Club in 1950 in Oxford. C.S. Lewis was the president of the Socratic Club at that time. I replaced all of the “theological” language with “evolutionary” language. It seems very relevant in modern discussions of evolution. By the way, Flew is now a theist, and what convinced him was the intelligent design argument.
