In an article that wasn’t directly relating to the question of evolution, Rabbi Slifkin briefly touched upon the question of whether or not it is heresy to state that ‘evolution occurred’. I, who am interested in the theory of evolution and it’s greater theological significance, asked him for some clarification on what he meant by evolution. [...]

This entry is part 3 of 3 in the series Irreducible ComplexityAs I set out to put together the third post on irreducible complexity, I realized that I needed to take a step back and approach the issue a bit more thoroughly. And the best place to begin a thorough analysis of the concept of [...]

This entry is part 2 of 3 in the series Irreducible ComplexityLast week we introduced the idea of irreducible complexity. This week, we introduce some of the objections to irreducible complexity. We’ll start with an excerpt from the documentary ‘Judgement Day: Intelligent Design on Trial’ and follow up with a couple of videos from Professor [...]

This entry is part 1 of 3 in the series Irreducible ComplexityI want to start a new series on Irreducible Complexity. For now, I’ll let the main players involved do the talking and offer my personal thoughts and comments afterwards (although I may ‘sneak’ in a thought here or there). We’ll start with two different [...]

Let’s now take a look at a more intricate symbiotic relationship – one involving a clever little ant known as the leafcutter ant: So what we seem [...]

This entry is part 2 of 3 in the series The Big Bang TheoryLast week I touched on the question of what happened before the Big Bang. Today I thought we’d talk about life after the Big Bang theory. Not that the theory is necessarily going anywhere, but as science writer Marcus Chown notes there [...]

This entry is part 3 of 3 in the series The Big Bang TheoryGiven that yesterday we touched on the question of what happened before the Big Bang, I thought I’d share the thoughts of one Astronomer on the subject – a physicist named Robert Jastrow. It is noteworthy to see how he struggles with [...]

This entry is part 1 of 3 in the series The Big Bang TheoryWhat ‘happened’ or what was there before the Big Bang? The scientific truth seems to be that we really don’t know. But, one can speculate. And while I’m not a big fan of scientific speculation, I do want to note that the [...]

This entry is part 8 of 9 in the series DNAAs Stephen Meyer notes, information means something. Information is intricately related to intellectual activity. Intellectual, conscious people organize, communicate and record information. What’s more – they create information. And, of course, they encode information. As such, the discovery of information at the heart of the [...]
