Charles Darwin’s The Origin of Species had an unfortunate title. It was a great book for its time, and is roughly correct about what evolution looks like in the rear-view mirror. Though if you want to know how we actually get a new species, the explanation in there is very incomplete, at best. Natural selection…

The atheist community has become as dogmatic as the religions they attack. Internationally famous atheist Jerry Coyne heard about the publication of my book, Evolution 2.0. And he decided to write a review… After ONLY reading the Amazon.com book description. The gist of his review? “Move along folks, nothing to see here.” He couldn’t bear…
(Warning: This flies in the face of the mainstream understanding of Evolution from the likes of Richard Dawkins, Jerry Coyne, Bill Nye, and others.) I made sure my fight with atheists would be the opposite of a political debate. In the average political debate, the candidates take soft-pitch questions from friendly moderators, and easily get…
My brother and I grew up Creationists. He went to China to do missionary work, and within 4 years became a card-carrying Atheist.
This bugged me. We fought.

I got in a Facebook tussle with reader Frank Pettit about Larry Moran. This revealed even more fraud in evolution than I had even realized. Brace yourself.
In part one I criticized Larry Moran for being a lazy evangelist of Old School Darwinism. What is “Old School Darwinism”? Moran’s article “Evolution By Accident” describes it perfectly.
First, a confession: I am no fan of Larry Moran. He’s an evangelist of old-school Darwinism, which is rapidly being obsoleted by larry_moranSystems Biology.
Moran’s strident promotion of the now-discredited “Junk DNA” theory alone should give all of us pause. The man is still trying to save Junk DNA from extinction. (The ENCODE project killed it dead three years ago.) PREDICTION: Ten years from now, when we understand twice as much about the genome as we do now, most scientists will be reluctant to admit they ever entertained such anti-scientific superstitions.
Well lately Moran is in a gladiator fight with Ann Gauger of the Discovery Institute. And he makes a valid point. Moran says:
“Another source of conviction in the existence of God, connected with the reason and not with the feelings, impresses me as having much more weight. This follows from the extreme difficulty or rather impossibility of conceiving this immense and wondrous universe, including man with his capacity of looking backwards and far into futurity, as a…
Jerry Coyne, Biology Professor at the University of Chicago, reviewed my new book Evolution 2.0: Breaking the Deadlock Between Darwin and Design. He said:
“Although I haven’t read it…
My brother Bryan (VERY smart) insisted that if you had billions of falcons over millions of years, nature was so prolific that all you would actually need was the occasional copying error. Not only would you get falcons…. you would get better and better falcons! Mutations would inevitably happen. Vision would improve. Wings would improve,…
