Update: Cambrian Explosion Damage Control
May 10, 2008
Here’s an update to the “State of the Cambrian Explosion.” Two years ago, our 04/23/2006 entry analyzed a lengthy paper in Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences by Dr. Charles R. Marshall, a Harvard professor of biology and geology. Dr. Marshall had taken on the arduous task of explaining, in evolutionary terms, the sudden […]
Human Mind Outwits Darwinian Models
May 2, 2008
Evolutionists struggle to explain complex human behaviors in Darwinian terms. Sure, corporate squabbles can seem like survival of the fittest, but humans also sacrifice for people they don’t even know and do other weird, un-Darwinian things. In Darwinism, selfishness rules. How does cooperative and altruistic behavior arise from selfish motives? Here are some of the recent attempts to reconcile observations with a theory in which selfishness is key.
Darwin and Complexity: Another Genetic Solution?
April 2, 2008

Walking Fish Gets Good Mileage
January 16, 2008
In 2006 (04/06/2006), 05/03/2006), Neil Shubin of the University of Chicago announced his missing link: Tiktaalik, a fish with wrist bones that he claimed were transitional between fish and four-footed creatures, or tetrapods. Since then he has taken his fish on the road and is getting good mileage for evolution.
Darwin Claus Becomes Icon of Winter Solstice
December 25, 2007
Evolution News has a picture of Darwin as Santa Claus. They got the picture from a Winter Solstice card sent among atheists at Winter Solstice luncheons that are springing up around the country. The caption on the card states, “evolve your beliefs.” The historic St. Nicholas of Patara, a Christian altruist, would be appalled at […]
What Materialist Science Still Cant Figure Out
December 21, 2007
Darwin called the origin of flowering plants an “abominable mystery,” but it is not the only one. The scientific materialism that strives to explain all reality by “natural” causes without resource to a designing intelligence has a long way to go. Occasionally, major gaps in cosmic evolution and biological evolution become evident in scientific papers […]
Evolution Goes Forward, Backward and Sideways
December 19, 2007
A Darwinist says, "We prefer to think of evolution as backwards, sideways, and occasionally forward."
Wilson Duo Resurrects Darwins Taboo

Group selection (sociobiology) has long been a taboo subject, but now its time has come. This is what an article on EurekAlert claims. E. O. Wilson and David Sloan Wilson are on a new campaign to promote group selection. The two Wilsons called for a new consensus on sociobiology in The Quarterly Review […]
Flowering Plants Do Big Bang in Darwins Face
December 1, 2007
There’s a big bang in botany. The flowering plants, reported Science Daily, “evolved very quickly into five groups.” The claim is based on the investigation of plant genes by scientists in Florida. Their work “showed that a stunning diversification of flowering plants they are referring to as the ‘Big Bang’ took place in […]
Will Darwinism End With a Big Bang?
