Design Disquisitions: Peter S. Williams on Intelligent Design

In the latest post at Design Disquisitions I focus on the excellent work on ID by British philosopher Peter S. Williams. He has published several papers, and has many high quality articles and media presentations on the subject. His work was instrumental in initiating my change of mind from theistic neo-Darwinism to design. Highly recommended stuff! Peter […]
Design Disquisitions: Updated YouTube Playlists
| May 11, 2017 | Posted by Joshua G under Biology, Courts, Darwinism, Evolution, Food for thought, General interest, Media, Naturalism, Science, Video |
For the last year or so I have been accumulating quite a number of YouTube playlists. Recently I’ve been trying to get it a little more organised and cleaned up, so I thought I would point readers to it as a resource. At the moment I have just under 40 individual playlists. I have created […]

Design Disquisitions: Giving the Critics a Fair Hearing
| February 5, 2017 | Posted by Joshua G under General interest, ID |
This is a short post explaining a little feature I’ll be doing on my blog called ‘Critic’s Corner’. Hopefully it will turn out to be a useful resource. It goes without saying that ID isn’t the most popular idea in the world. Since its development and increased prominence in western culture, it has been widely […]
Design Disquisitions: Why the Question of Biological Origins Really Matters
| January 31, 2017 | Posted by Joshua G under Back to Basics of ID, Biology, Creationism, Darwinism, Evolutionary biology, General interest, ID, Lessons of History, Origin Of Life, Science, worldview issues/foundations and society |
Finally, I’ve managed to publish my first blog article! It’s been a rocky start as I had some technical difficulties. Nevertheless, it feels good to get the ball rolling. In this first article, I’ve chosen to take a step back and reflect upon whether or not intelligent design is an important problem to consider in […]
Design Disquisitions: How/Why I Became a Design Advocate
| January 25, 2017 | Posted by Joshua G under Christian Darwinism, Creationism, ID, Intelligent Design |
One of the main pages on my new blog has a brief account of my journey towards accepting ID. I’ve taken a few different stances on the biological origins question in the past so it’s been a bumpy ride for me. This article is mainly autobiographical, but it gives me a chance to lay my […]
New ID Blog ‘Design Disquisitions’ Now Online
| January 22, 2017 | Posted by Joshua G under Darwinism, Evolution, Intelligent Design, Science |
Back in November of last year, I published a post announcing a new ID blog I was working on. This post is to let UD readers know that I have now put the blog online. Do pop in and have a look around! There isn’t much material to look at yet, though there are a […]
Prehistoric human teeth found in Israel. From 400 kya?
| July 2, 2015 | Posted by News under Human evolution, News |
From 400 kya? Here: Researchers found four teeth in the Qesem Cave near Rosh Ha’ayin (not far from Tel Aviv), and they were astonished at test results that conclude the fossils to be some 400,000-years-old. The significance of this is that it’s possible that the origin of prehistoric man is in Israel, and not in […]
Debating Darwin and Design: Science or Creationism? (2)
| November 2, 2012 | Posted by Joshua G under Courts, Creationism, Darwinism, Religion, Science |
Some readers here may be aware of an online debate I’m taking part in with a neo-Darwinist (and friend), Francis Smallwood. Francis blogs at Musings of a Scientific Nature. We are currently discussing the issue of whether intelligent design is just a recent strain of creationism, and whether it is a legitimate scientific theory. What […]
Poll: Atheists 15% – God involved 78%
| September 30, 2012 | Posted by DLH under Christian Darwinism, Creationism, Evolution, Intelligent Design, Origin Of Life, theistic evolution |
Gallup has updated their origins survey: Which of the following statements comes closest to your views on the origin and development of human beings? 1) Human beings have developed over millions of years from less advanced forms of life, but God guided this process, 2) Human beings have developed over millions of years from less […]
Debating Darwin and Design: Science or Creationism? (1)
| September 11, 2012 | Posted by Joshua G under Creationism, Darwinism, Intelligent Design, Philosophy, Science |
A couple of days ago I posted my opening statement to a formal online debate I’m currently engaged in with Christian neo-Darwinist Francis Smallwood at Musings Of A Scientific Nature. My opening statement can be found here, and his here. What follows are my opening thoughts on the question whether ID is ‘creationism in a […]
Are these atheists and agnostics really covert creationists?
| August 27, 2012 | Posted by Joshua G under Atheism, Creationism, Darwinism, Intelligent Design |
We’ve all heard it before. Time and time again the somewhat tiresome and predictable Darwinian propagandists, in a fit of florid indignation, assert that intelligent design will be the death of science and the dawn of theocracy. The claim that ID is nothing more than warmed-over creationism is one that has been thoroughly addressed by […]
The Effect of Infinite Probabilistic Resources on ID and Science (Part 1)
| July 25, 2011 | Posted by Eric Holloway under Design inference, Intelligent Design, Mathematics, Multiverse, Physics |
If the infinite universe critique holds, then not only does it undermine ID, but every huckster, conman, and scam artist will have a field day.
Confessions of a Design Heretic
| July 8, 2011 | Posted by nullasalus under Design inference, Intelligent Design, Philosophy |
Those of you who’ve followed my posts and comments will have picked up that my view of Intelligent Design is pretty complicated. On the one hand, I defend design inferences, even strong design inferences. I’m entirely comfortable with questioning Darwinism (if that view still has enough content to identify it as a clear position, anyway), […]
Jumping to Design Conclusions
| March 24, 2010 | Posted by David Coppedge under Intelligent Design |
An archaeologist has been studying stone spheres in Costa Rica and has concluded they were designed. According to PhysOrg, he doesn’t know who made the spheres, when they were made, or why they were made. Why is he jumping to a conclusion of intelligent design? He should be considering natural explanations. There are plenty of […]
A blow-by-blow response to Dr. Denis Alexander
| January 12, 2010 | Posted by David Anderson under Books of interest, Christian Darwinism, Creationism, Darwinism, Evolution, Intelligent Design, Irreducible Complexity, Religion, Science, theistic evolution |
In the last year and a bit I’ve done a lot of work in trying to understand and then critique the approach of Dr. Denis Alexander of the Faraday Institute in Cambridge (UK). I know that many readers of UD are familiar with Alexander’s big-selling work, “Creation or Evolution – Do We Have To Choose?”. […]
ID Found in DNA
| September 17, 2009 | Posted by David Coppedge under Intelligent Design |
Researchers at Brigham Young University shaped DNA strands into the letters BYU, reported Live Science. Let’s have a little fun with this clever achievement (an indisputable case of intelligent design) with some thought experiments that make use of ID reasoning. Suppose instead of forming the DNA into letter shapes, they used a code with the […]
Cambrian Explosion Caught on Film
| August 26, 2009 | Posted by David Coppedge under Darwinism, Evolution, Intelligent Design, Media, Video |
Illustra’s new film “Darwin’s Dilemma” delivers a knockout punch to Darwinism on Sept. 15. Darwin has tried to dodge the Cambrian explosion for 150 years; how can he survive this?
