Normally I’m not a fan of tracking back through the archives of blogs that I follow, but I’m prepared to make a big exception with The Panda’s Thumb, a group blog focused on evolutionary biology and its cultural and religious detractors. In a way it’s like Homologous Legs, except older, better and the people who […]

Casey Luskin, the Discovery Institute writer/lackey, thinks that a certain picture of Charles Darwin published in Nature last year reminds him of a certain special someone: … the back page of the packet shows a picture of a smiling young Darwin with animals flocking about him (lizards, birds, monkeys, flowers, sponges, turtles, etc.), much like the […]

Sewell is an intelligent design proponent/advocate, and due to his status as […]
Intelligent design proponents, like those found at the Discovery Institute, love to claim that their intellectual weapon of choice, ID, has a basis in science and the scientific method. A prominent claim within this is that ID is falsifiable, just as all good (wait, no, just all) hypotheses must be in order to be scientific. […]
