Must Science Exclude Intelligence as a Cause?

| July 23, 2009

Post Author: Bill Pratt According to John Heininger, the answer is “no.”  What follows is an extended quotation from John, who submitted this as a comment to our blog.  His comment makes some great points in a succinct fashion about the nature of science, especially with respect to the ruling of the Dover trial in [...]

Does the Appearance of Design Prove God's Existence?

| July 19, 2009

Post Author: Bill Pratt Certainly the appearance of design in the natural world makes a strong case for the existence of a super-intelligent being, but I’m getting ahead of myself. Many people look at the world around them and marvel at its functionality and complexity.  A common reaction to the functionality and complexity of the [...]

Americans are Skeptical of Darwinian Evolution

| July 6, 2009

Post Author: Bill Pratt Poll results like these demonstrate the failure of proponents of Darwinian evolution to provide persuasive scientific evidence for their viewpoint.  Worse than that, the attempt to squash the intelligent design movement is seemingly back-firing.  Americans overwhelmingly support academic freedom on the issue of the origins and development of life. It is time [...]

Interesting Comment This Morning

| March 31, 2009

I attend a Referral Network group every Tuesday morning and this morning a local Chiropractor gave a short presentation on her business.  This wonderful lady (who is a great Chiropractor by the way!!) made a few comments which amused me – in a good way. When talking about the human body she kept referring to “it’s design”.  In speaking about [...]

Does Atheist Richard Dawkins Believe Aliens May Have Designed Biological Life?

| March 12, 2009

Yes, that’s exactly what he said in the movie, “Expelled.”  As long as the intelligent designer isn’t God, Dawkins is happy.  Check out the movie clip  at Wintery Knight.  It’s well worth the visit.

Do We Need Darwinism To Advance the Biological Sciences?

| February 28, 2009

Dr. Philip Skell, in a recent article posted on Forbes.com, says “no.”  Skell correctly separates the study of origin science from experimental sciences in the world of biology.  These are two distinct realms which Darwinists have become completely blind to. Skell writes that Darwinists “overstate both the evidence for Darwin’s theory of historical biology and [...]

How Are Human Beings Different From Other Animals?

| January 7, 2009

I can remember having this debate with my friend, Mike, when I was in college.  He argued that humans are no different from other animals except for our larger brains.  There is nothing we can do that animals can’t do.  Animals just do things in a more primitive and basic fashion. This always struck me as [...]

Do Intelligent Design Theorists Really Use the Scientific Method?

| December 30, 2008

A common criticism of ID is that its proponents are not interested in the scientific method and, in fact, are setting out to hinder science and the scientific method by answering “God” whenever a tough scientific problem surfaces. This criticism, however, is false. Read this  brief article written by an ID proponent to see that [...]

How Do We Distinguish Between Young Earth Creation, Theistic Science, and Intelligent Design? – Part 3

| December 22, 2008

  Intelligent Design   Theistic science calls for Christians to search for signs of God’s intervention in the history of the cosmos, but how?  The scientific program of intelligent design (ID) answers this question.  In reality, ID is not a creation hypothesis, but a scientific method used to discover signs of intelligence in the natural [...]
