How the Scientific Consensus can hinder Science

This article seeks to discuss "Scientific consensus" as it is understood today and how, in the past, scientific consensus has had to undergo seismic shifts. Read more

Intelligent Design is definitely NOT Creationism

Dismissing Intelligent Design as 'Creationism' is the easy way of avoiding having to deal with the empirical evidence for design. Read more

Was there a cause of the universe?

Cosmologists tell us that we now know a fair amount of detail about the conditions of the universe from the first split second, 13.7 billion years ago. Read more

The Fine Tuned Universe

The words ‘fine tuning of the universe’ have been around for quite a while and are greeted with bafflement, scepticism and wonder; in about equal proportions. What on earth (or in the universe) does it mean? Theoretical physicist Paul Davies calls it the ‘Goldilocks Enigma’.1 Is it real... Read more

Meyer vs Fox on Premier Radio:

Is Intelligence allowed in Biological Science?

Don’t miss a most revealing debate on Premier Radio between Stephen Meyer, a leading proponent of Intelligent Design who directs the Centre for Science and Culture at the Discovery Institute in Seattle, and Keith Fox, Professor of Biochemistry at Southampton University, who also chairs the UK Christians in Science network.

This programme was broadcast when Dr Meyer was in London recently for the Inaugural Lecture of the Centre for Intelligent Design, UK. That event focused on Dr Meyer’s recent book ‘Signature in the Cell’ – a Times Literary Supplement Book of the Year - which claims to show that the DNA code is the product of intelligent mind, not naturalistic processes. Prof Fox disagrees strongly with ID, arguing instead that, given time, scientists should be able to work out a naturalistic explanation. The core of this debate is not just how life could have originated, but whether intelligent mind as a cause is allowed as an explanation in science. Click here to find the broadcast.

Academic Freedom

See the new menu item ACADEMIC FREEDOM. To quote from the lead in to the new page: ".... However, there is another key issue raised by ID.  It is the freedom of academics and science educators to explore and discuss the issues associated with ID.  The exploration of ID within science should not be dismissed as something it is not – a disguised religious position."

Press Release

The Centre for Intelligent Design on September 27th 2011 issued a press release and additional material relating to the call by Prof Richard Dawkins, Sir David Attenborough and others for a legal  ban on Creationism and Intelligent Design in Britain's schools.

Nagel dumps Darwin!
spacer NEW! 

Thomas Nagel’s recent book Mind and Cosmos (Oxford, 2012)  might not be your first choice for the Christmas stocking, but it is an astonishing book nonetheless.  It’s the book’s sub-title that packs the punch – Why the Materialist neo-Darwinian conception of Nature is almost certainly false.

You would expect any book from Nagel[i], a world-renowned philosopher, to be challenging.  But for an atheist like Nagel to debunk neo-Darwinism is indeed a surprise.  And the strength of his arguments is devastating.

Mind you, the signs were there.  In 2009, Nagel selected Stephen Meyer’s book Signature in the Cell – DNA and the Evidence for Intelligent Design (reviewed on this site) as a Times Higher Education Supplement Book of the Year.

A Real Darwinian Eye-opener at Malvern

The 130 or so delegates who attended the Intelligent Design Annual Conference at Malvern, England, on September 28/29, 2012, were treated to a real Darwinian eye-opener from world-class speakers Dr Doug Axe (Biologic Institute, Seattle) and Prof John Lennox (Oxford).  If you think neo-Darwinism is beyond scientific dispute and that the design debate is an irrelevance, you should have heard this.

spacer

Particularly telling was Axe’s exposition of the current criticisms of Darwinian evolution in the scientific literature, made all the more powerful because they come from sources that do not apparently endorse Intelligent Design.

Richard Dawkins endorses Intelligent Design

NEW!  You heard it here first!  I know it sounds pretty far-fetched, but he did.  Yes, Richard Dawkins came as close as it matters to endorsing the position of Intelligent Design.

You’ll find it in an astonishing interview with Ben Stein in the remarkable film ‘Expelled – No Intelligence Allowed’.  At the very end of the film, there is this exchange between Ben Stein, the American presenter, and Richard Dawkins.  Click here to read the whole article.
 
C4ID's Inaugural Lecture 2011: 'Is there a Signature in the Cell?'
The Centre for Intelligent Design UK (C4ID) held its Inaugural Lecture in the Royal Horseguards Hotel in Whitehall, London, on Thursday November 17th, 2011.  The lecture was given by Dr Stephen Meyer, Director of the Centre for Science and Culture at the Discovery Institute, Seattle, USA.  The event, which included supper, was hosted by Lord Mackay of Clashfern.  The Banqueting Hall of the hotel provided an impressive setting for the occasion.

Full details of the tour and the day conference can be found at the associated website www.darwinordesign.org.uk.

Premier Radio interview

Mike Behe is adamant that the latest science proves Intelligent Design to be true. He recently spoke to Premier Radio presenter Justin Brierley, who will be hosting the London leg of the Darwin or Design tour on Monday November 22nd. Justin began by asking Behe how it feels to be labelled a "maverick" by the majority of the scientific community.
