Why Intelligent Design is a scientific theory
This article is from the book “Signature in the cell” by dr. Stephen Meyer How to define science ? Stephen Meyer write that he as a philosopher of science, always have thought there was something odd and even disingenuous about the objection that intelligent design is not scientific. The argument shifts the focus from an interesting […]
What is the scientific theory of Intelligent Design
By professor emeritus Kjell J. Tveter, board member BioCosmos Africa Foundation To understand Intelligent Design, it is necessary to present the prevailing view of science. In the Western World Natural Science is defined as the systematic knowledge of the physical or material world gained through observation and experimentation. The scientific community has decided that the […]
The Monarch butterfly flies a distance of 5000 kilometers from east coast of Canada to Mexico to spend the winter
The Monarch butterfly is one of the most beautiful butterflies in the natural world. It lives in various places, but it is particularly common in North America. During the summer, the Monarch butterfly can be found as far north as Nova Scotia on the east coast of Canada. The butterfly flies a distance of 5,000 kilometers […]
The Bombardier Beetle’s Unique Chemical Warfare
The Bombardier Beetle’s Unique Chemical Warfare The bombardier beetle uses a method of defense that virtually defies belief. It defends itself through an enormously complex defensive system involving the precise use of volatile chemicals. A tremendous amount of research has been completed on the chemical warfare methods used by this beetle to protect itself from its […]
Walking whales by Dr. Jonathan Wells
DARWIN WROTE IN THE FIRST EDITION OF THE ORIGIN OF SPECIES that North American black bears had been seen “swimming for hours with widely open mouth, thus catching, like a whale, insects in the water.” What did this have to do with the subject of his book? “Even in so extreme a case as this,” […]
THE POSITIVE CASE FOR DESIGN
by Dr. Casey Luskin, Hallie Kemper and Gary Kemper When arguing that ID is not science, critics often contend that ID is merely a negative argument against evolution. Providing an example of this argument, biologist Kenneth Miller says “ID is always negative, and it basically says, if evolution is incorrect, the answer must be design.” […]
How bumblebees avoid collisions during flight
Vertebrates account for their body size while navigating obstacles as they move, but the ability of insects to do so is unknown. Sridhar Ravi et al. (pp. 31494–31499) observed bumblebees flying in a tunnel as the bees encountered walls containing gaps of varying width. The authors report that when bees were presented with narrow gaps, they […]
Moth scales act as acoustic metamaterials
Bats track prey using ultrasound-mediated echolocation, and moth species without ultrasound-sensitive ears must rely on other strategies to avoid predation. Thomas Neil, Zhiyuan Shen, et al. (pp. 31134–31141) report a form of acoustic camouflage in two species of earless moths—Antheraea pernyi and Dactyloceras lucina—that allows them to evade echolocating bats. A thin layer of paddle-shaped scales that reduce […]
The motor of the bacterium flagellum
The motor of the bacterium flagellum The biochemical and molecular biological research of recent years has shown us that our body contains a number of different machines. Every cell uses motors in its metabolism to generate energy, build proteins and transport different materials to a new location inside the cell, and to transport substances through […]
Beetle defence inspires University of Leeds research
The deadly defence system of a tiny African beetle has inspired award-winning research into a new generation of technology. This article is from BBC News see link below. The 2cm (0.8in) long Bombardier beetle defends itself with toxic steam which it can blast up to 20cm (8in). A team of scientists from the University of […]
