Intelligent Design
“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 Read More…
Kirk Durston now has a YouTube channel
He hopes to address common science, philosophy, and faith issues.
Casey Luskin is back, after years in the field!
Why he left (the non-conspiracy version): My PhD project focused on the “Pongola Supergroup,” a major section of supracrustal rocks in southeastern South Africa (Kwazulu-Natal and Mpumalanga provinces) and southern Swaziland, aged ~2.8 – 3.0 billion years old.
Suffice to say, this project involved months and even years of fieldwork, lab work, data analysis, and writeup. Like most PhDs, mine had its ups and downs, complete with excitement, fun, blood, sweat, tears, near-madness, sheer terror, and utter boredom.
Design in nature: It turns out electric eels work together to zap prey
Maybe it’s not the eel, who remains stupid about everything else. It is intelligence in nature. Wallace was right.

There is no scientific evidence for a multiverse. There are a large number of intellectuals who need it to be true. At one time, there was a large number of similar people who needed witchcraft to be true.
An interview on God and mathematics
Some of us think mathematics is the best argument for God available.
Why Should Questioning Physicalism Be Almost Literally Unthinkable
Thank you to the UD News desk for putting up From Closer To Truth: Is Mathematics Invented Or Discovered? In this video public intellectual Robert Lawrence Kuhn interviews mathematicians and philosophers regarding the titular question.

Butterfly evolution is “more plastic” than thought
In short, Darwinism is a crock but they can’t, of course, say that.

Rob Sheldon on the recent dark matter claims
Those [theories] that haven’t been disproven yet are the ones that are the least lumpy. Let’s just say that the data are consistent with there being no dark matter lumps at all.
Avi Loeb about Oumuamua: “Nature does not produce such things.”
Maybe some of us (yer news writer, for one) have been unkind to Avi Loeb, the Harvard astronomer who continues to insist that space debris Oumuamua is an extraterrestrial lightsail. Anyway, at 29:06 in this vid, Loeb says “nature does not produce such things.” We’re told Loeb is using a design filter like design theorist Read More…
At New Scientist: Specialized wings make house flies harder to swat
So much intelligence in nature. Why couldn’t some of it be organized to make them buzz off?
