Naturalism is like a Pandora’s box in that all of scientific explanation must be kept inside it. Source
Biology was giving us computer programming and symbolic codes which, by mapping functional structures to functional structures, exhibited a tacit semantics. Source
Wolfgang Smith’s excitement about conservation of complex specified information or specified complexity was not widely shared. Source
To speak of a “paradigm shift” on Junk DNA is another way of saying that the debate is over and ID won. Source
Charles Thaxton, along with Walter Bradley and Roger Olsen, wrote what arguably was the first official book of the intelligent design movement. Source
On March 26–28, 1992, scientists and philosophers assembled at Southern Methodist University for an event whose title posed a provocative question. Source
For Richard Dawkins, specified complexity required some special effort of explanation, but that effort could be performed by Darwinian natural selection. Source
True, our ID argument does depend in part upon critical assessments of the causal adequacy of materialistic explanations for the origin of DNA information. Source
Whether learning from a professor or chatting with a fellow student over coffee, Martin never ran into anyone to challenge his naturalistic worldview. Source
Critics of intelligent design or science-based theistic arguments often cite Isaac Newton as the prime example of a scientist who made this blunder. Source
Dillahunty contended that the biological information coded in DNA isn’t really information at all but only analogous to it. Try to follow this word salad. Source
The proposal ceases to be an inference from observations and known physics and becomes an appeal to the absurd. Source
There are a lot of commenters refuting arguments that Stephen Meyer never made. What he is offering is what philosophers of science call an abductive inference. Source
Evidence for intelligent design in nature may be clear to you, while other matters relating to faith remain far more perplexing. Source
My Christian faith was indispensable here. From the vantage of naturalism or materialism, randomness is fundamental. Source
The most significant stop for me in Denmark was a lecture that Jakob Wolf arranged for me to give at the Niels Bohr Institute. Source
The big obstacle for me came from feeling at odds with my publisher, Cambridge University Press. Source
Suppose scientists did formulate a viable materialistic explanation for the origin of life. Couldn’t someone ask for an account of the origin of matter itself? Source
In C. W. Howell’s mind, intelligent design is still recovering from the Dover trial, and if there’s evidence to the contrary, he doesn’t want to see it. Source
Some of us are old enough to remember when the origin of life was a question that science would answer — soon. But that was hundreds of promising theories ago. Source
Followers of the debate between intelligent design and Darwinian evolution will be familiar with Christoph Adami's example. Source
After it had been announced on campus, Jerry Coyne, a prominent Darwinian biologist at the University of Chicago, tried to talk Leo into disinviting me. Source
The evolutionary part of this paper relies on wishful thinking. What “could” or “might” happen occurs only in their evolutionary imaginations. Source
Bats by the millions would be falling from the roofs of caves if that ankle-locking design, an all-or-nothing proposition, had not come about all at once Source
