How Should Schools Handle Evolution? Debate it

Stephen C. Meyer and John Angus Campbell
August 14, 2005
Commentary
Though many have portrayed the hearings that led to the Kansas policy as a re-run of the Scopes trial, the reality is much different. Rather than prohibiting teachers from teaching about evolution (as Tennessee law did for John Scopes in 1925), Kansas is poised to adopt a policy that would enable students to learn more about the topic.

The Scientific Status of Intelligent Design

Stephen C. Meyer
November 13, 2005
Research and Analysis
Underlying Darwin's repudiation of creationist legitimacy lay an entirely different conception of science than had prevailed among earlier naturalists.

Teleological Evolution

Stephen C. Meyer
December 18, 2003
Commentary
It is difficult to see what empirical content Lamoureux's teleological evolution has or how it differs in substance from standard Neo-Darwinism with its denial of any evidence of actual, as opposed to merely apparent, design. Read More ›

Evidence for Design in Physics and Biology

Stephen C. Meyer
September 26, 2003
Commentary
We can recognize the effects of rational agents and distinguish them from the effects of natural causes. Systems or sequences that are both “highly complex” and “specified” are always produced by intelligent agents rather than by chance and/or physical chemical laws. Read More ›

Laws, Causes and Facts

Critique and Response
