The stellar radio dial has been silent, but maybe we could look for alien interstellar outposts.
Animal Engineering Is Not Just a Metaphor
October 10, 2013
Some evolutionists complain that talk of molecular machines and engineered systems in the living world is a misleading figure of speech. Why, then, do human engineers seek to reverse-engineer them?
Science Is Lost Without Immaterial Truth and Virtue
October 6, 2013
For evolutionary theory to work, all human behavior must originate from mindless natural processes. What does that do to honesty and kindness?
Marvelous Machines That Keep You Running

Evolutionists Tap Dance Around Cambrian Explosion
September 25, 2013
A flurry of papers by evolutionists appeared to be timed to counter Stephen Meyer's best selling book that uses the Cambrian explosion as evidence for intelligent design. But do they address the key issues Meyer presented?
Induced Stem Cells Get Faster, Better, Cheaper
September 24, 2013
Scientists have not only made the production of induced pluripotent stem cells much more efficient, but also have made them just as capable as embryonic stem cells of being able to produce any cell type.
Sherpa Fitness Is Not Evolution
September 22, 2013
A study about mutations that might confer benefit to high-altitude Sherpas is being announced as an example of evolution, but variation within species is not Darwinian evolution.
