Richard Dawkins is the world-famous science entertainer who masquerades as a scientist. Today, a shining example of how he uses sleight of hand to fool gullible people and build his tribe.

Doug Brewer poses a fantastic question:
Chloroplasts are actually blue-green algae living symbiotically inside plant cells. They have their own DNA and represent the most successful merger-acquisition in the history of earth.
You say that “We can produce new species at will and it happens all the time”.
Do you believe that these same processes which create (what you refer to as) “new species” are also capable of creating new genera, families, orders, classes, phyla and kingdoms?
If so, how? Read more »
Telorexia:
noun
A psychological state in which the patient is unable to see purpose in nature, or even acknowledge hypocritical use of teleological language.
Our close friends Bob and Angel were dining with us at a barbecue restaurant. Bob was chowing down on a stack of ribs; Angel was nibbling string beans and a tiny square of corn bread.
Angel was 82 pounds and dropping fast. This normally attractive, athletic woman was down to skin and bones. Waging war with an eating disorder – and losing. Her husband Bob was scared. Laura and I were scared for her. Ribs sticking out of her skin. She wore baggy sweaters, her breasts sagged and she was perpetually cold.
A rocket scientist/engineer and an ER physician/pastor talk with Perry about the big questions of God and life.
In this episode, Perry tells the story of rigid Young Earth theol0gy and strict literalism that jettisoned Perry’s brother from faith, and Perry’s trip down the rabbit hole of evolutionary science.
“Do I need to get another degree, this time in biology, to understand this stuff?” Striking parallels between Information Technology and Genetics; and a discussion of the latest Nobel Prize, and wonders of the cell almost nobody talks about.
The goal of the God Talk show with Doug Thorpe & Andrew Wyant is “Rightly dividing the line of Truth between faith and science.”

Michael Flannery reviewed Evolution 2.0. I replied in “ID’s Blind Spot.” Michael then responded to my post in his comment #36.
Thank you, Michael, for your thoughtful remarks. Below are Michael’s questions in bold with my answers:
You seem to presume a lot about what “practicing scientists” hear and Read more »
I’m grateful for Michael Flannery’s less-than-favorable review of Evolution 2.0, because his review – and blind spots – exemplify why Intelligent Design, as promoted by the Discovery Institute, gets a black eye in higher education.
I’m not certain ID people understand how ID is perceived by the outside world – especially among practicing professional scientists.
Intelligent Design most certainly Read more »
Atheist and Darwinian evangelist PZ Myers responded to my annotated transcript of our radio & podcast debate.
If one only reads PZ’s blog, skips past my transcript and doesn’t read Barbara McClintock’s work, one might form the impression that PZ gave that poor naïve engineer Perry Marshall a sound thrashing.
In actuality, Read more »

In a recent debate with PZ Myers, a prominent old-school Darwinist, my rival asserted that “90 percent of our DNA is junk.”
I insist very little of it is junk. I have no doubt some is broken, corrupted, redundant or whatever – but if Read more »
