Was four-stranded, ‘quadruple helix’ DNA designed or mutated?
| January 21, 2013 | Posted by DLH under Biophysics, Cell biology, Genetics, Human evolution, Intelligent Design |
‘Quadruple helix’ DNA seen in human cells Balasubramanian’s group has been pursuing a four-stranded version of the molecule (DNA) that scientists have produced in the test tube now for a number of years. It is called the G-quadruplex. The “G” refers to guanine, one of the four chemical groups, or “bases”, that hold DNA together… more

Evidence for an Engineered Universe
| July 24, 2012 | Posted by johnnyb under Cell biology, Cosmology, Engineering, Intelligent Design, Physics, Science, Video |
In the next video for the Engineering and Metaphysics conference, we have our keynote speaker, Walter Bradley, author of The Mystery of Life’s Origin (the book which kicked off the Intelligent Design movement). Here Bradley presents an overview of the cosmological case for design. Lots of interesting information from the man who started it all!… more
The Design of the Simplest Self-Replicator
| July 9, 2012 | Posted by johnnyb under Cell biology, Engineering, Intelligent Design, Media, Origin Of Life, Video |
The first video from the Engineering and Metaphysics conference is from Arminius Mignea. His talk is about self-replication, and what is really required for self-replication to occur. Mignea reviews current attempts at self-replication, and shows the minimal structures needed for it to occur. The slides for the talk are available here. Enjoy! more

On the Impossibility of Abiogenesis
| June 4, 2012 | Posted by niwrad under Cell biology, Informatics, Intelligent Design, Origin Of Life |
Modern science takes for granted that the naturalistic origin of life, called “abiogenesis” or “chemical evolution” or “pre-biotic evolution” is extremely improbable but not impossible. “Life” here means a single self-reproducing and self-sustaining biological cell. Science claims that life can arise from inorganic matter through natural processes. This unsupported claim is based on the conviction… more
