Seattle – “Darwin’s attempt to explain the origins of all the magnificent species in the living world in terms of the struggle for survival is easily the dumbest idea ever taken seriously by science,” writes Dr. Granville Sewell, in his new book In the Beginning and Other Essays on Intelligent Design published by Discovery Institute Press.

Sacramento — Senate Minority Leader Dennis Hollingsworth has sent a letter to the California Science Center (CSC) requesting documents related to the Center’s cancellation of a screening last October of the pro-intelligent design documentary “Darwin’s Dilemma.” The screening was sponsored by the American Freedom Alliance (AFA), a private group that had rented the Center’s IMAX theater. Senator Hollingsworth’s letter follows Read More ›
Now we have scientists predicting a new age of cooling, pointing out that Arctic ice is growing, not shrinking, and it all has to do with ocean currents, not man-made activity. Human caused global warming increasingly is seen as an over-statement, at the least. Without open debate, who knows? Scientific hype is found in medicine, too, with repeated dire warnings about Read More ›
In December of 2008, Casey Luskin posted on Evolution News & Views a 3-part series responding to the arguments of Professor Kenneth R. Miller against Michael Behe’s arguments in Darwin’s Black Box for irreducible complexity of the blood clotting cascade.

We hadn’t planned on watching “Darwin’s Dilemma: The Mystery of the Cambrian Fossil Record,” a documentary that criticizes Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution.

The party’s over, the candles flicker and dim. You danced and dreamed through the night, it seemed to be right just being with Read More ›
Believers in human-caused global climate change have been placed under an uncomfortable spotlight recently. That is thanks to the Climategate scandal, centering on e-mails hacked from the influential Climate Research Unit (CRU) at England’s University of East Anglia. The e-mails show scientists from various academic institutions hard at work suppressing dissent from other scientists who have doubts on global warming, Read More ›
