Doubting Rationalist ‘Intelligent Design’ Proponent Phillip Johnson, and How He Came to Be http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/05/14/AR2005051401222_pf.html By Michael Powell Washington Post Staff Writer Sunday, May 15, 2005; D01
Intelligent Design
Honda’s Cog Commercial
Many of you have probably seen this, but here’s a high-res, full screen video of the Honda ad: GO-LINK. It’s one of the best examples I know of the coordination of natural forces by intelligence.
The Extravagant Design of Nature
Have a look at the following image and consider what your gut is telling you: (1) that nature is full of extravagant design that we should not expect on materialistic principles; (2) that nature has programmed us through evolution (e.g., sexual selection) to appreciate beauty in nature so that we can be good little robots Read More…
Design Inferences and the Suspicion of Fraud
“Powerball lottery officials suspected fraud: how could 110 players in the March 30 drawing get five of the six numbers right? That made them all second-prize winners, and considering the number of tickets sold in the 29 states where the game is played, there should have been only four or five.” MORE.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Stuffed Toys (PETST) and “Voodoo Science”
People for the Ethical Treatment of Stuffed Toys (PETST) recently contacted me about my photos of a stuffed Darwin doll being horribly crushed in a vise.
The Vise Strategy: Squeezing the Truth out of Darwinists
the pattern set by the Scopes Trial, which has been repeated many times since, namely, evolutionists escaped critical scrutiny by not having to undergo cross-examination
Letters from the Frontline — Vitriol at Its Finest
I do not consider you a colleague, in any sense of the word …
Letters from the Frontline — Howard Kronberg
So where is the “intelligence†in Kansas’s “Intelligent Design†theory…….there is none. And the proof that there is none, is that if the Universe was created by a Supreme Intelligent Being….he wouldn’t have created Kansas or the South.
ID Course at UCal Berkeley
Think of what happened in the 1960s — Berkeley’s radicals back then changed American education. It will be interesting to see what today’s Berkeley’s radicals will accomplish.
Dembski vs. Ruse Nightline Debate Available Online
There’s an important new blog at which Mike Gene hangs out (www.telicthoughts.com) that anyone with an interest in ID needs to be aware of. Available at that site is a 25MByte video file giving my interactions with Ruse yesterday on ABC’s Nightline: go here.
Dembski on ABC Nightline tonight — Update
I’m going to be on ABC Nightline tonight (Monday). The show has already been recorded. George Stephanopoulos is substituting for Ted Koppel and is interviewing me and Michael Ruse.
Tu quoque: Evolutionists don’t have a full-fledged theory of biological form either!
Evolutionists are just as fond of quote-mining as their ID counterparts. A quote of Paul Nelson’s has lately been making the rounds, appearing even in the New York Times. At a meeting of Biola University last year, Nelson remarked, “Easily the biggest challenge facing the ID community is to develop a full-fledged theory of biological Read More…

Dembski on ABC Nightline / Meyer on CNBC Sunday
An ABC producer confirmed with me yesterday afternoon that I’m supposed to appear on Nightline this Monday (5.9.05). Steve Meyer is scheduled to debate Ken Miller on CNBC Sunday (5.8.05).
Congratulations Jonathan Wells
Of all my colleagues in the ID movement, the one evolutionists slime the most is Jonathan Wells. It is therefore gratifying to see his article on centrioles and their design characteristics (“Do Centrioles Generate a Polar Ejection Force?”) appear in the latest issue of a peer-reviewed biology journal. Here is the abstract to his article:
