Defining Science: An Interview with Biologist Jonathan Wells

What is science? We ask biologist Dr. Jonathan Wells in this episode of IDTF. Dr. Wells researched and wrote a lengthy report on the definition of science used by every state in the country, which was published by Discovery Institute. Now, as critics attack the definition being used in the Kansas state science standards, Dr. Wells explains what science is, what a proper definition of science is, and why Kansas is now in-line with every other state in the nation. Click here to read more about the Kansas definition of science.

Why Do Students Reject Evolution? It’s the Science!

Despite the Darwinist community’s long-standing campaign to help the public come to the “correct” view that “evolution and religion are compatible,” public skepticism of evolution remains high. (See this link for documentation.) This would logically lead one to the conclusion that there are other factors besides religion that drive skepticism of evolution. Perhaps, one might even suggest, for many people the issue has a lot to do with science!

A Kansas Teacher Stands Up For Science

As you may know, last year the Kansas State Board of Education revised the state’s science standards to encourage the teaching of scientific evidence that both favors and presents the limitations of Darwin’s theory.

The Difference Between Teaching Criticisms of Evolution and Teaching Intelligent Design

Critical Analysis of Evolution is Not the Same as Teaching Intelligent Design A favorite Darwinist conspiracy theory is to claim that education policies requiring critical analysis of evolution are simply a guise for teaching intelligent design (ID). Right now anti-science groups in Kansas are claiming that the state’s new science standards are pushing intelligent design. If you agree that children should be fully informed about evolution, join with like-minded citizens and stand up in support of the Kansas state science standards. Go to Standupforscience.com and sign the petition today The Kansas science standards do not include intelligent design. In spreading this falsehood, opponents of the standards ignore the following clear statement by the Kansas Board of Education in the standards. “We also emphasize that the Science Curriculum Standards do not include Intelligent Design….” (emphasis added) Which part of “do not include Intelligent Design” can’t opponents of the standards understand? In this podcast Casey Luskin highlights five simple reasons why teaching critical analysis of evolution is very different from teaching about intelligent design.

Stand Up For Science

Stand Up For Science, Stand Up For Kansas

Should public schools censor scientific evidence just because it challenges Darwin’s theory of evolution? Or, should teachers present ALL the scientific evidence, including both the strengths and weaknesses of evolutionary theory?

George Gilder on technology, evolution, Darwin and intelligent design

Recently Discovery President Bruce Chapman sat down for an interview with Discovery senior fellow, author, and technology guru George Gilder. The subject: evolution and intelligent design.

Gilder also has a major essay in the new issue of National Review, titled “Evolution and Me: Darwinian Theory has Become an All-Purpose Obstacle to Thought Rather than an Enabler of Scientific Advance.”(subscription required)

Dissent From Darwinian Evolution Goes Global

A Scientific Dissent From Darwinism — www.dissentfromdarwin.com During recent decades, new scientific evidence from many scientific disciplines such as cosmology, physics, biology, “artificial intelligence” research, and others have caused scientists to begin questioning Darwinism’s central tenet of natural selection and studying the evidence supporting it in greater detail. Yet public TV programs, educational policy statements, and science textbooks have asserted that Darwin’s theory of evolution fully explains the complexity of living things. The public has been assured that all known evidence supports Darwinism and that virtually every scientist in the world believes the theory to be true. The scientists on this list dispute the first claim and stand as living testimony in contradiction to the second. Since Discovery Institute launched this list in 2001 over 600 scientists have courageously stepped forward to sign their names. The list is growing and includes scientists from the US National Academy of Sciences, Russian, Polish and Czech National Academies, as well as from universities such as Yale, Princeton, Stanford, MIT, UC Berkeley, UCLA, and others. A Scientific Dissent From Darwinism “We are skeptical of claims for the ability of random mutation and natural selection to account for the complexity of life. Careful examination of the evidence for Darwinian theory should be encouraged.” There is scientific dissent to Darwinism. It deserves to be heard. Finally, if you have a Ph.D. in engineering, mathematics, computer science, biology, chemistry, or one of the other natural sciences, and you agree with the following statement, “We are skeptical of claims for the ability of random mutation and natural selection to account for the complexity of life. Careful examination of the evidence for Darwinian theory should be encouraged,” then please contact us at cscinfo@discovery.org.

Did the ACLU Squeeze the Intelligent Design Decision out of Dover?

This week, Jason Anderson interviews Joe Manzari of the American Enterprise Institute, about his article on whether or not Dover school board members handed over to the ACLU a taxpayer funded gift.

The taxpayers in Dover Pennsylvania may have been fleeced by the ACLU and Americans United for Separation of Church and State (AUSCS) for a shocking $1 million dollar bill.

South Carolina Requires Students to Critically Analyze Evolution

The South Carolina Education Oversight Committee unanimously ratified high school biology standards requiring students to understand why “scientists continue to investigate and critically analyze aspects of evolutionary theory.” The South Carolina State Board of Education adopted the standards unanimously last month, and submitted them to the EOC for approval. South Carolina’s new evolution standard does not require teaching the theory of intelligent design.
