Research out of Brown University has found that cells move in ways that are much more complex than previously thought.  It’s yet another example of the complexity of life’s design that consistently surprises biologists.
“We’ve learned that cells move in much more complex ways than previously believed,” said Christian Franck, assistant professor in engineering at Brown [...]

Because of their rigid adherence to a failed framework, Darwinists have continuously been surprised at the sophistication of even the simplest organisms.  The researchers examined mycoplasma pneumoniae and found the following.
The inner workings of a supposedly simple bacterial cell have turned out to be much more sophisticated than expected.
An in-depth “blueprint” of an apparently minimalist [...]

Scientific hypotheses can come from anywhere at all (well actually just from an intelligent mind).  One important thing I learned about science in graduate school was, it did not matter where your hypothesis originated, it only mattered that it could be tested and falsified in a rigorous, repeatable, and measurable way.  Scientific notions can arise [...]

Once up on a time there was an Author who wrote with living words who began writing a book about redemption. He knew from the beginning that the book would contain evil and that it would have to be thrown into the fire in the end but he planned to copy some of his words [...]

Over at the Huffington Post a high school biology teacher writes:
Are we doing ourselves a disservice when we speak about our “belief” in evolution? Should we find a new way to talk about the “theories” that underlie our ideas? What about when we talk about the “design” of human anatomy? Why are we always finding [...]

Then did we, the Most High Scientist, through the use of calculations and formulas, imagine that there exists a great many more universes in the multiverse than we had previously imagined.  We did previously imagine through string theory that there are 10500 universes in the multiverse.  One of our Most High, Andrei Linde, did recently [...]

Commenter Mike weighs in on mynym’s recent post. I thought it deserved a post of its own.
Another thing I find typical (and the thread you linked to is typical of this) is that it’s always the Darwinist who wants to bring up Creationism and Genesis in an ID debate. Usually this is accompanied by [...]

Over at AiG Busted:
Someone made the argument that buildings are analogous to the design in living things which drew a common reply:
“No, buildings are something we routinely observe human beings building, so there’s no question that they were designed.”
I wondered why there’s no question so I asked:
Why do you say that they were designed [...]

(A controversial documentary that supports the theory of intelligent design will be screened Sunday at the University of Southern California, after its original premiere at the California Science Center was cancelled.)
“Darwin’s Dilemma: The Mystery of the Cambrian Fossil Record” was canceled for what center officials ascribed to unspecified “contract reasons” but what film backers termed [...]

Recently, a number of publications came out on fossils that were discovered in the early 1990s of a creature named Ardipithecus ramidus. So, what does this find tell us about human evolution? AiG weighs in on the matter.1
Despite claims of its evolutionary significance, one of the scientists who studied Ardi noted, “It’s not [...]
