The New Republic asked the opinions of prominent conservatives on evolution and ID. Read More ›

For more than three decades, molecular evolutionists have thought that no matter how many genetic mutations show up on a specific gene, whether or not those mutations become fixed in the species is determined primarily by natural selection. The new study shows that the speed at which these new mutations arrive also affects whether the mutations become fixed. MORE

Jewish mathematician David Berlinski, a well-known critic of Darwinism, told Christianity Today, “I thought the uproar was indecent. I am in general appalled but not surprised by the willingness of academics to give up every principle of free speech and honest debate whenever they think they can do so without paying a price.” MORE

[Sorry my original posting here was a bit gruff. Let me rephrase it as follows:] I’m happy to respond to questions that are raised in the comments on this blog provided they are pertinent to the thread in which they appear and provided I have the time. On the other hand, questions out of the blue with no relevance to a thread will be deleted. If you want to pose such questions, first be sure you’ve actually read some of my work (I’ve got a whole Q&A book titled The Design Revolution). If, after reading my stuff, you still don’t find the answer, email me (some of my email address(es) can be found at www.designinference.com). I receive lots of emails, Read More ›

Here’s an image I found amusing that someone sent me about my lack of faith in Darwinism. I’ve always wanted an image of Darwin and me as professional wrestlers with me doing a piledriver on him. If you’ve got the photoshop skills and more time on your hands than you know what to do with . . . . Read More ›
