Stop Signals in Disguise: How the Genetic Code Guards Against Frameshifts

A frameshift mutation occurs as the result of indels (insertions or deletions) of a number of nucleotides that is non-divisible by three. Read More ›

Precision Design Logic Explains Neural Wiring Guidance Better than Darwinism Does

This is why Darwinists can easily incorporate new discoveries into their origin narrative. It is because they never really address the true causal implications. Read More ›

Post-Darwin, Too, Maxwell Drew a Remarkable Design Inference

So far we detect significant prescience about intelligent design in Maxwell’s thought. He all but uses the phrase himself. Read More ›
