The curious thing, however, was that within a few decades, and in defiance of each and every scientific imprecation, Darwin’s Origin achieved the acceptance initially denied it by the scientific community. Such a puzzling reversal of fortunes clearly cries out for explanation since, on the face of it, it seems as counterintuitive as if, say, a Broadway production panned by the critics were later to receive a “Greatest Show on Earth” award. — Neil Thomas,nbsp;author of Taking Leave of Darwin
Love your site and your enormous amount of intellectualism and candor regarding the evolution debate. Yours is one site I look forward to on a daily basis. Thank you for being a voice for the rest of us. — a graphic designer in Wisconsin
Darwinian theory is a remarkably inappropriate model, metaphor, inspiration or theoretical framework for economic theory.

The convention of using two Latin names (binomial nomenclature), denoting genus and species, is the foundation of taxonomy, the science of classification of living things. It comes straight out of the work of Carl Linnaeus, a Christian and creationist, who set out on his life’s quest to elucidate the Genesis kinds. He traveled far and wide on his hobby to collect, describe, and classify species, even though his profession was in medicine. His father was a Lutheran minister. The Linnaean classification scheme has survived the test of time, and the Linnaean Society continues today.
Recent news articles show how engineers and inventors are helping mankind by imitating what plants, cells and animals do every day. A new kind of vaccine based on spider silk (Science Daily). Because spider silk is tough and yet biodegradable, it can be used as a delivery capsule for vaccines that might otherwise be resisted […]
A poll shows the largest factor in the decline is the rise in the number of Christians who see evolution as God’s way of creating life on Earth.
They lived before relativity and quantum mechanics, but their insights continue to stimulate productive research in 21st-century physics.
