Starting to Explain the Mysterious “Altenberg 16” (Updated)

Update: Since this article was first published in 2008, Susan Mazur’s articles, which are referenced below, have been removed from the internet.

Mazur’s book contains most of the same information and material cited from her articles below. Recently, Rob Crowther reported on the “Altenberg 16” conference that was planned for Altenberg, Austria. Sixteen leading leading evolutionary scientists — who do not support intelligent design but do have doubts about Darwinism — were to re-evaluate the core claims of neo-Darwinism. The conference apparently did happen, as Read More ›
