“Why is there something rather than nothing?”
Author: Caspian
Eric R. Hedin, Ph.D. earned his doctorate in experimental plasma physics from the University of Washington, and conducted post-doctoral research at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden. He has taught physics and astronomy at Taylor University, Indiana Wesleyan University, and Ball State University in Indiana, and at Biola University in Southern California. At Ball State, his research interests focused on computational nano-electronics and higher-dimensional physics. His BSU course, The Boundaries of Science, attracted national media attention.
Dr. Hedin’s recent book, Canceled Science: What Some Atheists Don’t Want You to See, highlights scientific evidence pointing to design.

Even pain can be considered evidence of intelligent design.
At Science News: Why humans have more voice control than any other primates
“Human’s ability to talk may depend, in part, on our having lost a part of the larynx that dozens of other primate species have, new research suggests.”

Stephen C. Meyer shares, from the Foreword to the new memoir by Charles Thaxton, A Leg to Stand On:
At Live Science: ‘STEVE’ descends on North America after surprise solar storm
“The glowing river of light [known as ‘STEVE’] may look like an aurora, but it’s actually a unique phenomenon that was considered “completely unknown” to science upon its discovery.”
At Phys.org: ‘Eternal engine’ inspires the next generation of ultraprecise atomic clocks
“UK scientists have created an “eternal engine” to keep the next generation of atomic clock ticking.”
At Science Daily: Super-Earth skimming habitable zone of red dwarf
“A super-Earth planet has been found near the habitable zone of a red dwarf star only 37 light-years from the Earth.”

“Why would an all-powerful, all-loving God create a world with viruses?”
At Phys.org: Ancient source of oxygen for life hidden deep in the Earth’s crust
Scientists at Newcastle University have uncovered a source of oxygen that may have influenced the evolution of life before the advent of photosynthesis. The pioneering research project, led by Newcastle University’s School of Natural and Environmental Sciences and published today in Nature Communications, uncovered a mechanism that can generate hydrogen peroxide from rocks during the movement of geological faults.

At Mind Matters News: If DNA is a language, who is the speaker?
So, the pivotal question that the information content of DNA and other biomolecules raises is, can the relevant forces of nature, namely gravity and the electromagnetic forces, produce the complex, information-rich, functional biomolecules found within even unicellular organisms?
At Evolution News: Recognizing Providence in the History of Life Is a Hint About Our Own Lives
“An arena of fine-tuning we can all appreciate, not quantitatively but qualitatively, is how in most events of our lives, things go right, when there are so many more ways that they could go wrong.”
At Symmetry Magazine: Why aren’t neutrinos adding up?
“Physicists take on the mystery of the missing (and extra) neutrinos.”
At Sci Tech Daily: Nanoscale Rotors Constructed From DNA – Smallest Flow-Driven Motors in the World
“Scientists have constructed the smallest flow-driven motors in the world. Inspired by iconic Dutch windmills and biological motor proteins, they created a self-configuring flow-driven rotor from DNA that converts energy from an electrical or salt gradient into useful mechanical work.”
At Science News: A new James Webb telescope image reveals a galactic collision’s aftermath
“Bright, dusty spokes connect the inner and outer rings of the Cartwheel Galaxy in [a] new James Webb Space Telescope image, giving fresh insight into rare double-ringed galaxies.”
At Evolution News: An Evolutionary Mathematician Flunks Biology
Arguments and counter-arguments serve a purpose in arriving at a truthful conclusion. But what if one side jumps ship when the waves of counter-argument are unassailable?
