CHARLES DARWIN offered a sweeping explanation for the origin of species, but much of the evidence that might have confirmed his theory remains lost in the past. Since yesterday was Darwin Day, the 197th anniversary of his birth, it might be the moment to review this topic. Darwin hoped we’d discover evolutionary precursors to the animals of the Cambrian explosion, Read More ›
This article, published by the Daily Trojan, quotes Discovery Institute Center for Science & Culture Senior Fellow Michael Behe: A popular advocate of intelligent design is Michael J. Behe, professor of biochemistry at Lehigh University and author of “Darwin’s Black Box.” Behe, a former neo-Darwinian evolutionist, said that what changed his mind about evolution was not religion, but science. The Read More ›
Seattle – A leading intelligent design group today sent a letter to the El Tejon School District in California requesting that the district either change the course materials or change the name of the its “Philosophy of design” elective philosophy class. Earlier this week the district’s Frazier Mountain High School was sued by Americans United for Separation of Church and State Read More ›

Helping to cover-up a crime and/or willfully ignoring it is in itself a criminal offense, yet it appears that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has done just that. Two decisions just handed down by the High Court of Justice in London about one of Africa’s most corrupt and entrenched regimes — The Republic of Congo — raise important and disturbing Read More ›
IAN WILMUT, the creator of Dolly the sheep and newly appointed director of Edinburgh University’s Centre for Regenerative Medicine, wants to experiment on dying people with embryonic stem cells—even though he admits that such potential treatments “have not been properly tested.” Wilmut’s plan, which in essence would use people with terminal neurological conditions as lab rats, is the latest example Read More ›
In February 2004, Woo—Suk Hwang made world headlines when he claimed to have cloned human embryos using a technique called somatic cell nuclear transfer, and then to have derived a line of stem cells from the embryos that could be used for medical research. Enthusiasm for this first “successful” experiment in human cloning, published in the prestigious peer-reviewed journal Science, Read More ›
Using examples of bacterial motors, cilia, vision, cellular transport, and more, Dr. Michael Behe explains why Darwinian gradualism fails to explain the origin of molecular machines. Through the incorporation of computer animations, this video brings Dr. Behe’s book, Darwin’s Black Box, to life.
Europe has not yet suffered from bird flu, but it suffers from an even more debilitating economic flu — excessive government dependency. That dependency is sapping both its economic vitality and its spirit and has grown most acute in the core of Europe: Germany, France and Italy. We need to help our European friends fight this disease, not through a Read More ›
SEATTLE – “Ohio critics of intelligent design now want to dumb down the teaching of evolution by censoring out scientific evidence challenging Darwinism and that is bad for students and bad for science education,” said Casey Luskin, program officer for public policy and legal affairs with Discovery Institute’s Center for Science & Culture. “A lot of evidence surrounding evolution isn’t typically Read More ›
