Group Of Intellectuals Negating Godless Atomism + Generic Atheism

James McGrath has launched a new movement dedicated to defeating “godless atomism” called Group Of Intellectuals Negating Godless Atomism + Generic Atheism.
All around the world, children are being indoctrinated with a godless philosophy in what should be science classrooms. Instead of learning true chemistry that agrees with sacred Scripture, children are being taught atomism. This [...]

Brilliant video by Penn Masala. And a major improvement on the original song.

Serendipity and the origin of crops

In Puerto Rican dry forest, one of the most striking dichotomies is between forests dominated by native species and forests dominated by exotic Leucaena leucocephala. Most forests that have regrown on abandoned agricultural land are dominated by Leucaena. The colonisation of these areas by native tree species is slow – either the native [...]

Bionic Woman

I regret not getting into the new Battlestar Galactica. As a fan (at the age of eight) of the original series, I had mixed feelings about the remake, but I saw the first few episodes before we left Trinidad and I was pretty happy with it. Sadly, a year would pass before I [...]

Hillary Clinton and religion

Intelligent design as a “ground clearing operation”

Last Sunday, when he introduced William Dembski at Trinity Baptist Church pastor Ronnie W. Rogers described intelligent design as a “ground clearing operation”. The following day, during the Q & A that followed his talk, Dembski also described ID using the same words. In essence, he said that ID seeks to clear away [...]

Party at Meacham

For people who are interested in other perspectives of the Dembski-party on Monday night, here are some other people’s take on the issue
Apart from ERV and Golfvixen at IIDB and me, some other accounts that deserve notice include:

Dembski and the flagellum

In Darwin’s Black Box, Behe takes evolutionary biology to task for failing to explain the evolution of biochemical pathways within the cell. From this he developed the idea of “irreducible complexity” – that there are systems that are too complex to have arisen by (known) evolutionary processes. From there, he makes the jump [...]
