Darwin Devolves — Evidence Keeps Rolling In

The second paper is an in-depth look at genetic changes associated with the evolution of whales and dolphins. They found a lot of devolution. Read More ›

An Unintended Endorsement of Marcos Eberlin’s New Book, Foresight

Some reviews that try to make a book look bad are so ill-informed and malicious that they actually make a good book look better. Read More ›

Muller Two-Step Model: A Refutation of Behe on Irreducible Complexity?

Our responses to the Muller two-step have been around for a long time; it would be nice if ID critics would recognize and perhaps answer them. Read More ›

In Search of Self-Replicating Clocks

That Darwinism seems even superficially plausible depends completely on the ability of living things to reproduce themselves without significant degradation. Read More ›

Behe on Darwinism’s “Socially Inherited Dependence on Classical Yet Irrelevant Math”

Professor Behe traces the errant thinking to an outdated mathematical picture taken from Ronald Fisher and his 1930 book, The Genetical Theory of Natural Selection. Read More ›

Does T-urf13 Refute Irreducible Complexity? A Response to Arthur Hunt

Since 2007, Hunt has been claiming to have refuted Michael Behe’s thesis that irreducible complexity cannot arise by mindless evolutionary processes. Read More ›
