Dinobird flap: Why do they care so much how creationists take it?
| July 29, 2011 | Posted by News under Darwinism, Evolution |
The tenured Darwin bore has no product and no consistent information to offer, and his studies are useless for any practical purpose – a fact he very much prefers to keep to himself. more
You should have had more faith in cod.

This encouraging story from CBC News, “East Coast cod found to be recovering” (Jul 27, 2011), shows why ecology is a science and apocalypse isn’t. more
Neanderthals: Sadly, there were too many of us. We crowded them out.

Human evolution theories help people vent their inner anxieties. Period. That’s their big contribution to science. Or social work. Or therapy. Or something. more
Drowning polar bears? Or drowning in images?

In “Evolution of Human Generosity,” we hear from Science Daily (July 25, 2011) the “evolutionary psychology” reason we tip waiters

Evolutionary psychology is just tenure for dimbos – which we can’t really afford any more. more
Infinite Probabilistic Resources Makes ID Detection Easier (Part 2)
| July 28, 2011 | Posted by Eric Holloway under Design inference, Intelligent Design, Irreducible Complexity, Mathematics, Philosophy, Physics, Science |
Previously [1], I argued that not only may a universe with infinite probabilistic resources undermine ID, it will definitely undermines science. Science operates by fitting models to data using statistical hypothesis testing with an assumption of regularity between the past, present, and future. However, given the possible permutations of physical histories, the majority are mostly… more
Current coverage interrupted: Global climate disaster averted
| July 28, 2011 | Posted by News under Global Warming, Science |
Here. NASA satellite data from the years 2000 through 2011 show the Earth’s atmosphere is allowing far more heat to be released into space than alarmist computer models have predicted, reports a new study in the peer-reviewed science journal Remote Sensing. The study indicates far less future global warming will occur than United Nations computer… more

Remember the Icon of the First Bird, Archaeopteryx? Word is, it’s not a bird
| July 28, 2011 | Posted by News under Culture, Darwinism, Evolution, Intelligent Design |
After analysing the traits present in Xiaotingia and its relations, Xu and his colleagues are suggesting that the creatures bear more resemblance to the dinosaurs Velociraptor and Microraptor than to early birds, and so belong in the dinosaur group Deinonychosauria rather than in the bird group, Avialae. Many features led the team to this decision,… more
Princeton scientists: No reason to assume life on other planets
| July 28, 2011 | Posted by News under Extraterrestrial life |
In “Are We Alone In the Universe? New Analysis Says Maybe” (LiveScience, 25 July 2011) Natalie Wolchover reports Scientists engaged in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) work under the assumption that there is, in fact, intelligent life out there to be found. A new analysis may crush their optimism. Hey, Wolchover, have faith! they’ve… more

Norwegian mass murderer Breivik and the Princeton “evolution” man Lee Silver : Details
| July 28, 2011 | Posted by News under Culture, Darwinism |
Here: In his 1518-page “European Declaration of Independence,” Breivik reveals himself as an unapologetic champion of modern biology and the scientific worldview. Indeed, despite his right-wing views in some areas, he does not believe that the progress of science can be left to private enterprise. Instead, it requires lavish and permanent support by the state.… more
Michael Denton on Mathematics and Stardust
| July 27, 2011 | Posted by GilDodgen under Intelligent Design |
I’m not quite sure who Michael Denton is. I’ve read his two books, Evolution: A Theory in Crisis and Nature’s Destiny. It was Crisis that first inspired me to exclaim to myself, How could you have been so stupid as to have been duped into believing this transparent Darwinian-gradualism-and-random-mutation-natural-selection nonsense? In Destiny he presents some… more
The Evolutionary Tree Continues to Fall: Falsified Predictions, Backpedaling, HGTs and Serendipity Squared
| July 27, 2011 | Posted by Cornelius Hunter under Intelligent Design |
Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution states that the species arose from earlier species. Slight changes accumulating over long time periods resulted in one species giving rise to a new species, over and over. Read more more
Breivik: Advances in biology will makes possible a vigorous new form of Social Darwinism that will save the Nordic race
| July 27, 2011 | Posted by News under Culture, Darwinism, Intelligent Design |
In “Fundamentalist Christian or Deranged Social Darwinist?” (Evolution News & Views, July 27, 2011), political scientist John G. West tells us that the guy didn’t want Christians (for example) involved in public policy: Breivik harbors a special concern that Christians not be able to influence issues related to science and public policy “in any way.”… more
10% of fanatics can sway a society? That might explain the persistence of Darwinism
| July 27, 2011 | Posted by News under Intelligent Design |
Here: Scientists at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have found that when just 10 percent of the population holds an unshakable belief, their belief will always be adopted by the majority of the society. The scientists, who are members of the Social Cognitive Networks Academic Research Center (SCNARC) at Rensselaer, used computational and analytical methods to discover… more

You’ve seen the scrub-yer-rep ads here. One enynterprising group decided to test it. Follow UD News at Twitter! PS: People have written to UD News, asking to have poorly thought-out posts removed. We do it, in principle, but we don’t have a really big admin staff. We spent the resources on a troll monitor instead,… more
Why a multiverse would still need to be fine-tuned, in order to make baby universes
| July 27, 2011 | Posted by vjtorley under Intelligent Design |
Multiverses come in many varieties. In this post, I won’t be talking about unrestricted multiverses, in which anything that can possibly happen, actually happens in some universe. Instead, I’ll be talking about the more modest claim that our universe is just one of a vast number of universes with varying physical constants and different laws… more
