At Evolution News: Can Physics Account for Our Whole Reality?

Eric Hedin
October 24, 2022
Intelligent Design, Physics
ourselves, corresponds with the thesis of intelligent design - that our reality is consistent with one in which an intelligent mind (with the attributes of God) not only caused the physical reality of our universe, but has intervened within it to bring about outcomes that would not have arisen without intervention.

Biology, Intelligent Design
"If the world’s best human designers are attempting to build machines to mimic what these animals “naturally do,” it’s a reasonable inference that sea lions and jellyfish originated from an intelligent cause — one with superior knowledge of propulsion, fluid mechanics, and optimization."

At Evolution News: The Multiverse: From Epicurus to Comic Books and Beyond

Eric Hedin

Fine tuning, Intelligent Design, Multiverse
A profound difference between appealing to the multiverse and appealing to God, is that the historical and personal evidence for God throughout human history is multilayered and pervasive, whereas the evidence for the multiverse remains firmly at zero. Read More ›

At Evolution News: An Optimistic Solution to the Mystery of Life’s Origin

Eric Hedin
September 29, 2022
Atheism, Intelligent Design, Origin Of Life
It's fairly evident that non-theistic origin-of-life researchers, while seeing the daunting obstacles to any conceivable naturalistic pathway for abiogenesis, nevertheless believe that life arose naturally, not based on scientific evidence, but due to their nearly absolute determination that God's creative agency not be considered.

Big Bang, Intelligent Design
We observe phenomena in this universe that are beyond the known constraints imposed by the laws of nature, implying that natural explanations are insufficient to explain their existence. The origin of this universe is one of those observed realities that transcend the abilities of nature. Read More ›

At Evolution News: Gene Sharing Is More Widespread than Thought, with Implications for Darwinism

Eric Hedin

Evolutionary biology, Intelligent Design

David Coppedge writes: Evidence is growing that organisms share existing genetic information horizontally, not just vertically. This has immense implications for neo-Darwinian theory that are not yet fully recognized. If traits can be shared across species, genera and even phyla, they are not being inherited from common ancestors. The findings might also cast stories about convergence and co-evolution in a completely different light. Let’s look at some of the news on this front. Introgression Last month, Current Biology posted a Primer on Introgression by four authors. Introgression refers to “lasting transfer of DNA from one of the species into the genome of the other” by means of hybridization and backcrossing. Basically, it describes “the incorporation of the DNA from one species into Read More ›
