Nice article in New Yorker covering Behe and Dembski. A good, concise read covering the basis of ID. Worthy of passing on.

…and other sciences. Checkout The rediscovery Institute Hilarious site. Check out their revised periodic table: Especially, check out their ”Take Action” page. Click on the links, copy their pro-forma emails, and send emails to a number of creationist idiots.

I used to be an agnostic, and I had a little bit of sympathy with religion. I certainly didn't discount the idea of a creator, and I thought that religion might be onto something. At worst, I thought that it might just be some harmless mythology that people used as an excuse to get together...

If I understand the ID theory correctly then, according to this theory an entity designed and build the tapeworm and all the other parasitic worms etc that plague mankind and other species. Is that correct?

Someone on another board posted this link: http://www.idthefuture.com/index.php?title=the_truth_about_how_i_got_into_id ...which appears to be pretty damning on the reasons that William Dembski came up with the Intelligent Design idea. Are there any independent confirmations of this, or is it...

I did a search on the forum for the word 'Avida' and did not find a match. A discussion of the implications of this evolution modeling program might be worthwhile. http://dllab.caltech.edu/avida/ The site includes links to downloads. The February 'Discover Magazine' has an article titled...

Here's a good one. Apparently not only does water have a memory, but it can be erased and reprogrammed at will. In other words it's a read-write memory - with an access that could hardly be more random I should think. I have asked for the peer-reviewed papers to support this claim, but nothing...

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dy...9-2004Dec6.html Great... this ought to keep America a global science power... This is a Washington Post article about efforts to bring the teaching of Inteligent Design to St. Charles County, MD.... May require registration to view...sorry about that.

If anyone is interested in a fairly lively discussion of evolution vs. ID, I'm busy over at this Yahoo! forum: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CreationEvolutionDesign/ I'm having a good time, at least until I run out of energy banging my head against the wall. Unfortunately, Yahoo! forum...

Yep, now public schools are REQUIRED to teach Intelligent Design. This is disguisting and immoral. DOVER, Pa. Nov 12, 2004 — When talk at the high school here turns to evolution, biology teachers have to make time for Charles Darwin as well as his detractors. With a vote last month, the...

I was looking at my two dogs the other day, and wondered, if we can breed such disparate types, (one is intelligent, friendly, fluffy, the other stupid, agressive and short haired), if there is any research going on into breeding intelligent apes. A quick look at Mr Google doesn't reveal much.

Folks The article linked below has been mentioned on the Bad Astronomy Bulletin Board. http://www.dradio.de/meldungen/forschak/255820/ It's in German, but apparently suggests that there are plans to replace evolution with intelligent design in the curriculum in Italy. Has this been raised...

I'm very disappointed, and I hope this is either reversed or revised. New Evolution Cirriculum Approved :( :( :(

What is Intelligent Design? Is it possible to acknowledge that Goddidit and acknowledge the merits of evolution as well? I think so. Of course I don't think we're speaking of the same Intelligent Design as the Creationists, if in fact that entails taking the Bible too literally. What do you think?

Last night I caught the last half hour of Unlocking the Mystery of Life on PBS. The 30 minutes I saw was completely one-sided in favor of ID, so I was wondering if there was any balance in the first half. Then I went to TV guide on-line so I made sure I had the right title for a post, and...

The subject says it all.
