In Artificial and Biological Neural Networks, Intelligent Design Is Undeniable

Someday evolutionists might connect the dots. Right now, even simple nerve nets in jellyfish and hydra are remarkably well designed for what they do. Read More ›

How Octopuses Got So Smart? “Junk DNA”

Jumping genes used to be dismissed as junk DNA which in turn was held to be slam-dunk evidence for unguided evolutionary processes. Read More ›

If Octopuses Are So Smart, Should We Eat Them?

We have tended to assume that intelligence rose with the development of a spinal cord and brain (vertebrates), and warmbloodedness (mammals and birds). Read More ›
