The question of how new specified information arises in DNA, far from being an “enigma”, is one of great interest to biologists.

Isaac's paper examines three schools of thought regarding the possibility of detecting God’s existence through science: Evolutionism, Creationism, and Intelligent Design.

In doing so, he offers a critique of scientism, the assumption that scientific knowledge is all the real knowledge there is. scientism, the assumption that scientific knowledge is all the real knowledge there is.]]> Mon, 25 Apr 11 18:14:01 -0700 Ian Hutchinson http://biologos.org/essays/adventist-origins-of-young-earth-creationism?utm_source=RSS_Feed&utm_medium=RSS&utm_campaign=RSS_Syndication http://biologos.org/essays/adventist-origins-of-young-earth-creationism?utm_source=RSS_Feed&utm_medium=RSS&utm_campaign=RSS_Syndication Many evangelicals believe that Young Earth Creationism is the only authentic, biblical way for Christians to understand origins, and that until the advent of Darwin's theory of evolution, it was the only view held by Christians. However, in this excerpt from Saving Darwin, Karl Giberson explains that Young Earth Creationism's origins are surprisingly recent. only view held by Christians.

The agenda of the "New Atheists" is not merely to refute mainstream religion but to replace it. Unfortunately, the scientific community is poorly represented by these aggressive public figures.
