How the Earth is designed for human life
Fine tuning
God’s Not Dead film: How be, God is alive but logic isn’t? Not at university, anyway
Bencze: [Hawking’s] words are so appallingly stupid that I thought they might have been invented by script writers. Well, they weren’t. Hawking actually wrote them …
Carbon dioxide and the Goldilocks Principle
The “Goldilocks Principle,” like the Big Bang, has never been very popular, because it smacks of fine-tuning and Earth is special, and all that.
Nuclear Physicist asks, “Why is PZ Myers so dumb?” and slams Victor Stenger to boot
David Heddle, a professor of physics asks the question: Why is P.Z. so dumb? Because he can’t grasp that fine-tuning is a metaphor. He is a afraid that it gives to much ammunition to the theists. This had to be one of the most entertaining take downs of Victor Stenger and PZ Myers by a Read More…
Is origin of the universe an “arcane matter”?
Atheist philosopher asks, it’s one thing to argue that the universe must be the product of some kind of intelligent agent; it’s quite something else to argue that this designer was all-knowing and omnipotent. Why is that a better hypothesis than that the designer was pretty smart but made a few mistakes?
What if the moon disappeared?
In reality, the moon is one of those things that is special about Earth. It is in all likelihood biologically dead but because of it, we are not.
Molecular biologist Michael Denton is back!
Yes, him, the post-Darwinian. Remember Evolution: A Theory in Crisis? Nature’s Destiny?
Earth more precisely balanced in relation to sun than previously realized, new study claims
Thus, life-hosting exoplanets may be rarer than hoped.
Harvard astronomer: But maybe planets and life got started shortly after the Big Bang?
Why? Because that would make humans’ existence less special.
ID Foundations, 20: Caught between the Moon and New York City . . . the Privileged Planet thesis
Yesterday, News put up a post on the mysterious origins of the moon, invoking a classic song on being caught between the Moon and New York City. (Niwrad added a post here on the multiverse that is also worth seeing. Kindly bear in mind this earlier ID Foundations post on fine tuning.) Mahuna aptly comments: Read More…
Materialists: How can we get the universe to play out of tune?
Fine-tuning annoys us; we must show it isn’t true. So we have tried three strategies: Denial, nonsense, and the Copernican Principle – by far the best. So shove off, Kopernik. We are using your name, because it sells, NOT your ideas.
Heart of the conspiracy of teachers …
… to destroy students’ lives by teaching them to ask critical questions
Ours is a working moon Not just an ornament.
Ethan: It’s probably safe to say that vision would have evolved somewhat differently without the Moon, and that our nights would provide us with a wildly different world
Darwinists defend their faith on German campus by trying to shut out Oxford scholar
Just as you can’t build a church or ashram in Afghanistan, you can’t invite a non-Darwinian lecturer into Darwin’s temple.
“Controversial Astronomer” Guillermo Gonzalez Hired at Ball State U (Indiana)
There is nothing particularly controversial about exoplanet finder Gonzalez. The “controversy” was career atheists getting his tenure denied because he thinks the universe shows evidence of design. Most people do.
