2009 Top Ten Darwin and Design Science News Stories
Access Research Network has just released its annual "Top 10 Darwin and Design Science Stories" for 2009.
Gaining top honors on the list was a peer-reviewed article by intelligent design theorists William Dembski and Robert Marks II in the September 2009 journal IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man and Cybernetics. The authors used computer simulations and information theory to challenge the ability of neo-Darwinian processes to create new functional genetic information. This research provides validation for the core ideas in Dembski's 2001 book No Free Lunch: Why Specified Complexity Cannot Be Purchased without Intelligence. "For years the scientific establishment has tried to brush off intelligent design claiming that there are no peer-reviewed scientific articles supporting the theory and no research being done from the intelligent design paradigm," stated ARN Executive Director, Dennis Wagner. "This article is yet another rebuttal to both charges, and the research results put the monkey squarely on the back of the scientific materialists' to prove Darwinian processes can actually create new functional genetic information" Wagner concluded.
While there
was a lot of hype in the media this year about the Darwin Bicentennial
Celebration, Kevin Wirth, ARN Director of Media Relations, found it
ironic that a several of the stories on ARN's top ten list this year
were articles in scientific journals proclaiming that Darwin's theory
should be abandoned because it no longer fits the data, or is severely
limited in what it can do or explain. According to
Wirth "a cross disciplinary approach to biology is leading scientists
away from reductionistic theories like Darwinian evolution toward more
collective, holistic, systems approach." In one of the top ten articles
on this topic Mark Buchanan states in Nature Physics "A coming
revolution may go so far as to unseat Darwinian evolution as the key
explanatory process in biology."

- Telic Thoughts
We are a group of individuals, coming from diverse backgrounds and not speaking for any organization, who have found common ground around teleological concepts, including intelligent design. We think these concepts have real potential to generate insights about our reality that are being drowned out by political advocacy from both sides. We hope this blog will provide a small voice that helps rectify this situation.
