Darwin on Trial Ch. 9: The Rules of Science

April 24th, 2010 by kevin 0

This leads us to the chapter in Johnson’s book wherein he demonstrates that evolutionists have the benefit of established rules of science that are tilted in their favor.  For example, a judge in a case in Arkansas declared five essential characteristics of science, which are essentially the principles held to by Darwinists in their stance [...]

April 23rd, 2010 by kevin 0

How did life actually originate?  Where did the “stuff” come from on which natural selection could begin its work?  Prebiological evolution is the subject of chapter 8.  Evolution is the study of how life changes after it already exists and natural selection can only begin its work when it has something living to work on.  [...]

Darwin on Trial Ch. 7: The Molecular Evidence

April 22nd, 2010 by kevin 0

Johnson next considers in chapter 7 the molecular evidence for evolution.  Classification among species has traditionally been accomplished through observation of various visible characteristics.  Biochemists have discovered the viability of classifying species at the molecular level by their degree of similarity.  Johnson brings attention to the fact that this subject is highly controversial.  For instance, [...]

Darwin on Trial Ch. 6: The Vertebrate Sequence

In keeping with the current series, I’m posting a link to an article in FoxNews’ science and technology section on the topic of a recent archaeological find.  The article provides classic examples of presumption and oversight – see if you can pick them out. 
Note that the article has no direct bearing on the viability of evolution [...]
