It’s been a while sorry, but here’s my latest: Quote of the Month: Robin Collins on why ID isn’t a part of science
But who says today’s philosophers must make sense?

A friend can’t make sense of this, from philosopher Keith Frankish in Aeon: Consciousness is a life-transforming illusion So, again, what is consciousness for? In his 2011 book Soul Dust, Humphrey proposes a novel idea. He argues that consciousness enriches life. It doesn’t add information; it adds interests and goals. Qualia are wonderful, magical things, […]

From NPR: Don’t Believe In Evolution? Try Thinking Harder … The theory of evolution by natural selection is among the best established in science, yet also among the most controversial for subsets of the American public. It’s appalling that this pysch prof can get away with misinforming the public about the fact that evolution by […]

Our vision is to promote good science, based on impartial evaluation of evidence, not mere consensus.
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.
I r edumakated
| August 11, 2009 | Posted by Joel Borofsky under Darwinism, Intelligent Design, Philosophy |
Science and scientists, especially in America, are wonderful. I am currently laying on my couch, playing music from my laptop, and will probably turn on my HDTV later on to just enjoy a nice relaxing evening. Without scientists none of this would be possible. However, sometimes scientists need to “know their role.” What I mean […]

Vatican to exclude ID & Evolutionists from Origins conference
| November 3, 2008 | Posted by DLH under Biography, Creationism, Darwinism, Evolution, Intelligent Design, Religion, Science, theistic evolution |
The Vatican apparently seeks to understand biological evolution, as long as speakers do not address the issue of origins whether advocates of Intelligent Design, Creationists, or Evolutionists. That appears to a priori exclude the foundational issue of causation. It also appears to assume that papers on “biological evolution” do not have any unstated assumptions on […]

Steve Fuller offers his thoughts on the removal of Michael Reiss from his position at the Royal Society, and what it means for academic freedom. Fuller believes that the furore over Michael Reiss’s comments signifies a worrying trend that is bad for freedom to do science. He comments further on the Index for Freedom site […]
