The latest from O’Leary’s non-materialist neuroscience blog Mindful Hack

January 31, 2007 Posted by O'Leary under Intelligent Design
10 Comments

… what about Dolly the sheep? New vaccines? The chess computer? New antibiotics? Alternative energy sources? Yes, all these discoveries are exciting, but, as Horgan notes, they depend on existing science. They do not forge new frontiers in our understanding of our world. Science journalist John Horgan created a minor stir a decade ago with… more

There is a new paper on Irreducible Complexity by renowned mathematician Gregory Chaitin: The Halting Probability Omega: Irreducible Complexity in Pure Mathematics Milan Journal of Mathematics, Vol. 75, 2007. Ω is an extreme case of total lawlessness; in effect, it shows that God plays dice in pure mathematics. On the surface Chaitin’s notion of Irreducible… more

January 29, 2007 Posted by scordova under Intelligent Design

In 1981 Dennett and Hofstadter edited a compilation of essays entitled The Mind’s I: Fantasies and Reflections on Self & Soul .

Classic Darwinian Texts — (soon to be, if not already) On the Ash Heap of History

January 28, 2007 Posted by GilDodgen under Darwinism, Intelligent Design, Philosophy

I just pulled out my 1972 edition of Jacques Monod’s “classic” work, Chance and Necessity, subtitled A Philosophy for a Universe without Causality. From the back cover: The outstanding French biochemist, winner of the Nobel Prize, here explains to the layman his revolutionary approach to genetics and its far-reaching ethical and philosophical implications.

Darwinism Can’t Explain the Evolution of Music? Memes to the Rescue!

January 27, 2007 Posted by GilDodgen under Intelligent Design
25 Comments

On another forum I wrote: It seems to me that the arts, and music in particular, present a real problem for Darwinism. How would such an ability come about in a step-by-tiny-step fashion and what would be the survival value of the transitional intermediates, or even the end product? (Never mind what mutations would be… more

Why intelligent design is not a tool for Christian evangelism

January 26, 2007 Posted by O'Leary under Intelligent Design
43 Comments

Just recently, I had occasion to write to a Christian university student who is sympathetic to the idea that the universe shows evidence of intelligent design, but afraid to defend that view for fear of ruining his academic career. So he wants to do Christian evangelism instead, on the theory that evangelism will help in… more

“Public access equals government censorship”

January 26, 2007 Posted by William Dembski under Culture, Intelligent Design, Science
27 Comments

The big publishers of scientific journals are, not surprisingly, concerned about how open access to information on the internet is cutting into their profits. Apparently they are now hiring PR people to try to keep their market share, and the PR people are counseling that the very concept of open access needs to be undermined.… more

Why “You Evolved, Darnit!” Is Bad Ed. Policy

January 25, 2007 Posted by leebowman under Constitution, Darwinism, Education, Intelligent Design
2 Comments

Do you believe in ‘individual liberty, limited government, free markets, and peace’? These are some of the CATO Institute’s principles, and if you agree, then you may well agree with Andrew J. Coulson’s latest pronouncement regarding mandated school policies, not the least of which is prohibiting the mere mention of alternate scientific theories of origins,… more

Solexa: A development which may lead to measuring claims of ID proponents

January 25, 2007 Posted by scordova under Intelligent Design
5 Comments

Some of the claims by ID proponents have not been adequately explored because of the cost issues involved in doing large-scale whole-genome sequencing of numerous individuals. Not even Warren Buffet has the trillions of dollars needed to accomplish such a massive amount of gene sequencing. At least not today, but maybe in the future! The… more

Dissenting from Darwin

January 24, 2007 Posted by William Dembski under Darwinism, Evolution
36 Comments

Increasinginly I find that those with doctorates in the natural and engineering sciences are asking, “What can I do to help in the fight against Darwinism?” For some this will involve research bearing directly on Darwinian theory. But there is also another way to help. Many in the media and the public still do not… more

The Social Amoeba Genome: More Evidence of Front Loading

January 24, 2007 Posted by Dave S. under Intelligent Design

On a listserve which shall remain nameless a botanist yesterday was casting about for a good representative of a colonial protozoan. Having read up on the model organism Dictyostelium discoideum (common name “social amoeba”) a couple years ago and blogging on it then I immediately suggested it and described why it is a model for… more
