On April 22, a “March for Science” will take place in Washington, D.C. and hundreds of other cities around the world. March organizers say they believe that “science works best when scientists come from diverse perspectives.” They also claim that the “scientific community is best served by including voices and contributions from people of all identities and backgrounds.” Tell that Read More ›
Throughout his distinguished and unconventional career, engineer-turned-molecular-biologist Douglas Axe has been asking the questions that much of the scientific community would rather silence. Now, he presents his conclusions in the brave and pioneering book Undeniable: How Biology Confirms Our Intuition That Life Is Designed. In Undeniable, Dr. Axe restores the place of intuition alongside intellect in considering the question of Read More ›

Dr. Micah Green completed his Ph.D. at MIT and is currently a professor of Chemical Engineering at Texas A&M with research focus in nanomaterial characterization and biological interactions. Dr. Green has observed that it is commonplace in his work and in the culture at large to hold a view of “I don’t believe anything unless scientific reasoning backs it up.” Read More ›
With spectacular computer animation and cutting-edge research, Unlocking the Mystery of Life: ORIGIN examines a question that has baffled science for centuries: How did life on Earth begin? Today, most researchers insist it arose through simple chemistry that–without direction of plan–transformed inanimate matter into the first living cell. Yet, this explanation is devoid of evidence and unsatisfying, even to its Read More ›

West speak on an often overlooked but important chapter in Disney cinematic history: the political and moral themes expressed in Walt Disney’s live-action films and television shows. Although Hollywood today is known for its political and social liberalism, Walt Disney was an unrepentant conservative, and his Read More ›
About the Book In 2000, biologist Jonathan Wells took the science world by storm with Icons of Evolution, a book showing how biology textbooks routinely promote Darwinism using bogus evidence — icons of evolution like Ernst Haeckel’s faked embryo drawings and peppered moths glued to tree trunks. Critics of the book complained that Wells had merely gathered up a handful Read More ›
