    I could do very little with Mass

    If I were given a way to survive the environment on Mars I could do very little with the iron-based compositions save make sandcastles. My options are two.... 1. Chemically - Find a way to chemically react with the environment to produce elements. 2. Nuclear Reactions - Turn the mass to plasma...

    News: Fewer educators teach creation in the classroom

    According to new article by Ann Reid of the NCSE “...the proportion of US secondary-school biology teachers who present creationism as a scientifically valid alternative to evolution fell from 32% in 2007 to 18% in 2019” (E. Plutzer et al. Evo. Edu. Outreach 13, 14; 2020). I am curious what...

    ID (Intelligent Design) = common ground for both TEs and Bible Creationists

    Paul says this -- Rom 1 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. 20 For since the creation of the...

    What is meant by the word "information" in ID?

    As the title states, what is "information" with respect to claims by intelligent design. Sometimes people will state that intelligent design involves the observation of entities that contain "information", therefore suggesting that they are designed. But what does this mean?

    Intelligent Design, Science & Religion

    Intelligent Design, Science & Religion I recently attended an institutional wide meeting of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory in which there was an open discussion of sponsorship of non-scientific talks by SAO. The main concern had to do with lectures which alluded to religious ideas...

    More Information Found in DNA: The Shape Code

    We may have yet another code to add to Jonathan Wells’s growing list of information systems in the cell that challenge the Central Dogma. A new discovery hints at a “shape code” in the double helix..... ....Recognition of this new source of epigenetic information suggests a “new way of...

    Official retirement from intelligent design

    In trying to track down information on William Dembski's dissertation for a PhD at the University of Illinois at Chicago I ran across this. It's an announcement that he is officially retiring from ID. It's a short announcement, but here is an even shorter extract that contains the gist of it...

    Is a possibel error/bias in the method of physics testable?

    Some people feel that physics is heading in the wrong direction because it increasingly relies on untestable concepts to fill the holes in it's knowledge: "The issue of testability has been lurking for a decade. String theory and multiverse theory have been criticized in popular books1, 2, 3...

    Multiverses: should there be a matter anti-matter imbalance in any of them

    The question is so special that I thought it would merit an individual treat. The idea that multiverses exist is often used to state that every kind of universe can exist, however if there are universes that do vary so much from our universe that they can be called a new "type" of universe (I...

    How the Smallest Cells Give Big Evidence for a Creator

    I’m excited about an article that came out last year in Science Magazine. The article is about a team of really smart scientists who have produced a new type of bacteria. The special thing about this bacteria is how tiny it is. It has close to the smallest possible number of base pairs (bp) in...

    Nuclear Submarines and Living Cells

    Tuesday, I posted a thread in the "daily devotions" forum about how seeing evidence of God in creation helps us to believe in Him and gives us courage to keep serving Him, even in the face of opposition and difficulties. In that post I focused on the “everyday experience” of God’s beauty and...

    proof of intelligent design? Sun and Moon same size in the sky?

    The perfection of our cosmic arrangement appears to be deliberately ignored and belittled even though scientists acknowledge its truth. Isn't it a big deal that the sun and the moon are exactly the same size in the sky?

    MATHEMATICS IN NATURE PROVES INTELLIGENT DESIGN

    MATHEMATICS IN NATURE PROVES INTELLIGENT DESIGN Wow! Our creator is a great mathematician indeed! Of course others say that mindless chemicals did it. I refer to that as the mindless genius explanation and find it totally unacceptable.

    Programming of Life - Intelligent Design

    Further evidence for intelligent design. BTW "I can't see!" isn't a rebuttal.
