Archive Classic: The Factor Darwin (and Malthus) Didn’t Consider
May 13, 2020
This entry from March 17, 2003 became inaccessible from the archives, but needs to be posted again because of its importance.
What Is Scientifically Significant?
March 23, 2019
A common measure in scientific papers is under fire, possibly invalidating thousands of research papers.
Keynote Speech at Biology Conference Falsifies Major Claim of Darwinism
July 19, 2018
Keynote speaker receives a friendly welcome despite the grim implications of his mathematical derivations for Darwinian evolution.
Basener, Sanford Defend Paper Critiquing Fisher’s Theorem, II
February 20, 2018
Bill Basener and John Sanford recently critiqued Fisher's Theorem, a long-trusted model for neo-Darwinism. Two evolutionary geneticists responded. Here is Part II their counter-response.

Father of Neo-Darwinism Condemned with Faint Praise
January 11, 2018
At a lecture meant to honor the late R. A. Fisher, father of neo-Darwinism, an evolutionist was on the spot to try to say something nice.
Mathematician and Geneticist Team Up to Correct Fisher’s Theorem
December 22, 2017
A new paper corrects errors in Fisher's Theorem, a mathematical "proof" of Darwinism. Rather than supporting evolution, the corrected theorem inverts it.
Three Mavericks Who Won
October 12, 2015
The loner, not the consensus, is sometimes the one whose views get traction in science. Here are three historical examples.
Scientific Method Evolves
March 11, 2015
There is no scientific method. There are customary procedures that depend on the field; these are subject to mutation and artificial selection.
Darwin and Complexity: Another Genetic Solution?
April 2, 2008
It remains one of the biggest obstacles to belief in evolution that a random, unguided process could build an eye, a wing or any of thousands of complex structures.
