Oh goody... Now Klinghoffer has suggested the fiction offers a way to breach the science/religion barrier in his praise of an ID "thriller" The Soul of the Matter. http://www.evolutionnews.org/2016.......37.html

Good grief...

Quote
The story is one of redemption and enlightenment, as a cynic rethinks the tenets of materialism he previously took for granted. The book can serve as a helpful introduction to ID, as accessible (in its very different way) as Doug Axe's new book Undeniable: How Biology Confirms Our Intuition That Life Is Designed. The argument for design can be recondite and these two books together go a long distance to making it comprehensible to the most general of readers.

Obviously, Mr. Buff hasn't advanced the scientific case for ID. However he has done a service by offering a smart, often exciting story that is intellectually serious and spiritually earnest and that will, one hopes, place ultimate questions about man's place in the universe before a deservedly wide audience.


All science so far... except for the religion... and the fiction parts.

Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman did a riff on it in their wonderful novel, Good Omens:
“It wasn’t a dark and stormy night. It should have been, but there’s the weather for you. For every mad scientist who’s had a convenient thunderstorm just on the night his Great Work is complete and lying on the slab, there have been dozens who’ve sat around aimlessly under the peaceful stars while Igor clocks up the overtime.”

From David Klinghoffer we learn that ID proponents Paul Nelson (of Paul Nelson's Day famous) and Biological lab lead "scientist" Doug Axe joined the RoyalSociety meeting on "New Trends in Evolutionary Biology". Seemingly, it did go as well as Doug may have expected since he was somewhat pissed off by this slide from Andy Gardner's presentation (https://twitter.com/DougAxe....2630144

Over at DI EN&V, Denyse O'Leary interviewed an “anonymous” Israeli biochemist who has studied sphingolipids (a class of phospholipids) for 30 years after his 1987 post doc. His lab has focused on Gaucher disease for several years. He was unnamed because,    
Quote
“He asked that his identity be kept in confidence -- a fair request given that those who dislike his views have targeted him in the past. For scientists sympathetic to ID, it's a familiar story.”


Have these idiots not heard of Google? Tony Futerman probably isn’t stupid enough to think he would be “anonymous” for more than the 20 seconds to type “Israel sphingolipids Gaucher” into the search window, pick out his public relations department blurb from the Weizmann Institute of Science and read enough to confirm his data. http://www.weizmann-usa.org/media......se.aspx

A new movie was released last week, "Is Genesis History"  which claims there are big numbers of 'scientists' proving the earth is ~6,000 years old, and Noah's Flood really happened.

One of the 'scientists' interviewed was Disco'tute Paul Nelson.

He could have been aware of how creationist "documentary" filmmakers treat their interviewees or did he miss "Expelled" a film he actually appeared in?

Over at EN&V you are invited to meet Amy a young biology student with a heartbreaking history:  
Quote
Meet Amy, for example, who has been passionate about math and biology as long as she can remember. In her late teens, she devoured books by Michael Behe, William Dembski, Michael Denton, and Stephen Meyer. Full of hope for the future, she headed off to college to study molecular biology at a prestigious research university in the Midwest.
But in her first college biology class she was immediately confronted by ridicule for the idea that anything but purposeless and random processes are responsible for the seeming design of life. Instructors stifled any discussion that went outside of their materialist views of life's origins.

She persevered because her passions and convictions were strong. After years of increasing hostility, Amy felt alone and isolated in the midst of all these bright minds that had been constricted by the limits of Darwinian materialism.

But Amy was lucky. A friend and longtime supporter of Discovery Institute's CSC told her about the Seminar on Intelligent Design in the Natural Sciences. She applied and was accepted. The experience transformed her life, as evidenced by her comment in the closing survey we distribute to students:

Meanwhile, W. Dembski goes for the triple:
Quote
William Dembski, a science and culture analyst who formerly served as a leading voice in the Intelligent Design movement, told Baptist Press a "'March for Science' only becomes necessary when ideologues, claiming the mantle of science and seeking to deny it to others, look to politics to decide issues that properly need to be decided by reason and evidence."

Dembski added in written comments that "humanity's role in global warming, the safety and effectiveness of vaccines, the teleology in evolution all deserve healthy debate."

Maybe if he left out the phrase "claiming the mantle of science", it might become accurate. After all, the reason for said march in the first place was because of ideologues trying to deny stuff.

Seemingly, Ann Gauger hasn't learned anything from what she experienced at the 2007 Wistar Retrospective Symposium:    
Quote

“Nylonase was a pre-existing enzyme, had a pre-existing activity. It was easy to convert it to the ability to degrade nylon [by a] step-wise path. Therefore, there’s no reason to think that the enzyme is a newly derived enzyme from a frame shift. We don’t need that explanation.”

Even if the explanation is wrong the fact remains that a pre-existing protein was turned into another (aka derived) protein which degrades a substance not present in nature before the 20th century.
How does this not qualify as evolution?
And why does the DI train students to become professional idiots when they have Ann Gauger?

In another EN&V article by Granville Sewell reports from a conference which name changed over the years from    
Quote
First International Conference on Queried Evolution
via
   
Quote
Third International Conference on Evolution under Scrutiny.
to    
Quote
Fifth International Congress of Evolution"
and that the latest change was suggested by DI fellow Glenville Sewell.

It should not pass un-noticed Sewell again plagiaraized himself by paraphrazing parts from an older UD article:

UD 20014:    
Quote
Unsatisfied and unconvinced by what he was being taught about evolution at Marmara University in Istanbul, Turkey, 21-year old student Enes Kayan knew there was another side which was never presented in his courses. So in 2012, Enes, a member of the Marmara Young Vision Student Club, decided to organize a symposium in which he and other Marmara students could hear alternative views on evolution, including intelligent design. The idea that evidence against Darwinism, and even for intelligent design, could be freely presented at a university angered some students and professors, and about 300 of them staged a protest, which Enes said actually worked to his advantage as it brought publicity to the event, which was held on May 16-17, 2012.

The event was such a success that Enes decided to organize a similar event the following year, and invite scientists from outside Marmara University, including some from outside Turkey, and the “First International Conference on Queried Evolution,” was held on May 4, 2013 at Marmara University.

Thus the “First International Conference on Queried Evolution” was held on May 4, 2013, at Marmara University. The meeting was run entirely by students from Marmara Young Vision Student Club, who found sponsors to pay the expenses of the visiting scientists.

UD 2014:    
Quote
The following year Enes organized a second international conference with the Erzurum Young Vision Student Club, this time it was held at Ataturk University in Erzurum in eastern Turkey, and sponsors included the city government of Erzurum and the university itself. Enes again invited me, this time I decided to accept despite the fact that it was again held in the middle of the last week of my classes, May 7, 2014. And so this year I was able to participate in the event and witness the work he and his fellow students had done in organizing it.

Since some of the talks were in English while others were in Turkish, simultaneous translation was provided by a student interpreter. I heard (through the interpreter) mentions of “specified complexity,” “the explanatory filter,” “irreducible complexity” and other familiar ID terms during some talks, but other speakers presented a range of different viewpoints, including at least one who defended the traditional Darwinist viewpoint.
