Let’s clear up this law of noncontradiction issue between StephenB and eigenstate once and for all.  StephenB asks eigenstate:  “Can the planet Jupiter exist and not exist at the same time in the same sense? That’s a “yes or no” question eigenstate. How do you answer it? Update: I am reserving the first comment of the thread exclusively… more

You probably remember from biology class that genes hold information that is used to construct protein and RNA molecules which do various tasks in the cell. A gene is copied in a process known as transcription. In the case of a protein-coding gene the transcript is edited and converted into a protein in a process… more

Two years ago, I had the tremendous opportunity to travel to Seattle, Washington, and take part in Discovery Institute’s yearly summer seminar for undergraduate and graduate students. Truth be told, it was one of the most memorable experiences of my life. I had the chance to interact at a one-on-one level with key ID scholars… more

Anyone remember how the UN panel assured us the Himalayan glaciers would melt completely in 25 years?  Now we know they are not melting at all.  Do you think all the climate alarmists are slapping their foreheads and yelling ”Doh!  Maybe I should reevaluate my position”?  Me neither.     more

In response to my last post DrREC wrote:  “what is Barry Arrington’s exposure to the practice of science that trumps that of a scientist who has “been around the scientific block” as he put it?” This is unintentionally hilarious.  In the post I criticized scientists who appeal to authority instead of evidence and logic.  DrREC, a… more

Ten years ago work began on sequencing the first amphibian genome. The organism of choice was Xenopus tropicalis, a two inch frog native to Sub-Saharan Africa. And when the finished product was analyzed it was found to share substantial similarities with mammalian genomes, including our own. As one headline put it, “Frogs and humans are kissing cousins.” As… more

If you thought it strange that those incredible whales and dolphins are supposed to have evolved from freshwater and ultimately terrestrial environments then you’ll be amazed to hear that evolutionists are now saying the same is true for the majority of fish in the ocean. As they explain:  Read more more

In the article Evolution is a Big Word, I cover several issues. In our last installment, we discussed what the multiplicity of theories means for the claims of a consensus opinion about evolution. In this installment, I wanted to talk about the theories themselves. There are several questions I would like to propose to our… more

With so many theories of evolution floating about, is there really a consensus of opinion? A new article looks at this closely. more
