Doubly designed?
Metamorphosis: the beauty and design of butterflies
Watch this 4' 22" video clip to explore the world of butterflies which, in the words of the commentary, are shown to be doubly designed!
Academic Freedom
See the menu item ACADEMIC FREEDOM. To quote from the lead in to the page: ".... However, there is another key issue raised by ID. It is the freedom of academics and science educators to explore and discuss the issues associated with ID. The exploration of ID within science should not be dismissed as something it is not – a disguised religious position."
Press Release

Meyer vs Fox on Premier Radio:
Is Intelligence allowed in Biological Science?Don’t miss a most revealing debate on Premier Radio between Stephen Meyer, a leading proponent of Intelligent Design who directs the Centre for Science and Culture at the Discovery Institute in Seattle, and Keith Fox, Professor of Biochemistry at Southampton University, who also chairs the UK Christians in Science network.
This programme was broadcast when Dr Meyer was in London recently for the Inaugural Lecture of the Centre for Intelligent Design, UK. That event focused on Dr Meyer’s recent book ‘Signature in the Cell’ – a Times Literary Supplement Book of the Year - which claims to show that the DNA code is the product of intelligent mind, not naturalistic processes. Prof Fox disagrees strongly with ID, arguing instead that, given time, scientists should be able to work out a naturalistic explanation. The core of this debate is not just how life could have originated, but whether intelligent mind as a cause is allowed as an explanation in science. Click here to find the broadcast.

| University finds brain's complexity beyond belief |
|
RESEARCHERS have found that a single human brain has more molecular-scale switches than all the computers, routers and Internet connections on the entire planet! Stephen Smith, a professor of molecular and cellular physiology at the Stanford University School of Medicine, says the team found that the brain's complexity is beyond anything they'd imagined, almost to the point of being beyond belief. In the cerebral cortex alone, there are roughly 125 trillion synapses, which is about how many stars fill 1,500 Milky Way galaxies! And a single synapse may contain 1,000 molecular-scale switches.Yet there are scientists who appear on our TV screens all the time to tell us that life just popped into existence when the right bunch of chemicals appeared, and that the genetic instructions required to construct the awesome human brain simply evolved by themselves with no guidance at all.
