https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52H726-TOuE Last weekend, at a church in Middlesbrough, England, I presented the above talk on sharing one's Christian faith with Muslims in a winsome and persuasive way. Islam is a religion that accounts for well over a billion people...

“What is God Like — Tawhid or Trinity?” Jonathan McLatchie vs. Abdurraheem Green
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i16YFvZ59CQ I recently did a debate on Unbelievable? on Premier Christian Radio, a show that airs every Saturday on British radio (also podcasted online), featuring debates between Christians and non-Christians. Last year on the show, I...
Could solar eclipses be evidence for God? — Premier Christianity
This morning I published a guest article at the Premier Christianity blog (associated with the UK's Premier Christian Radio). In it, I elaborate on solar eclipses as part of a cumulative body of data suggestive that our Universe is designed for intelligent life....
Godbuster: A Debate With Elliot George
This past week I engaged in a radio debate with an atheist on Unbelievable on Premier Christian Radio (which you can listen to here). My interlocutor was a British atheist, a retired biology teacher who goes by the pseudonym Elliot George. In his book, Godbuster,...
The Penalty For Apostasy According to Islam
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CdxkF3q44E Tariq Ramadan, an Islamic scholar and writer, wants us to believe that Islam does not demand a death penalty for apostasy. Although he concedes that the ahadith reports Muhammad to have said “Whoever changed his Islamic...
The Qur’an, Muhammad and Modern Science: Scientific Miracles or Blunders?
Anyone who has had even a mild exposure to Islamic apologetics will have encountered the argument for the Qur’an’s divine origin based on its purported scientific miracles — that is, scientific assertions contained within the Qur’an which have only been validated by...
A Simple Reason Why The Qur’an Cannot Be The Word of God
The Islamic religion claims that the Qur’an, revealed allegedly by the angel Gabriel to the prophet Muhammad beginning in 610 A.D., is the inspired and inerrant word of God. Such an assertion, however, is highly problematic, and many, many arguments could be given to...
Playing Fast and Loose with the Facts: How Ken Miller Misrepresented Phil Johnson
An old debate, featuring Dr. Kenneth Miller and Dr. Paul Nelson, has found its way onto YouTube. The debate took place at the time of the Kitzmiller v. Dover trial in Pennsylvania in 2005. Moderated by Sally Satel at the American Enterprise Institute, it focuses on...
Once Again, Why Intelligent Design Is Not a “God-of-the-Gaps” Argument
The "god-of-the-gaps" objection to intelligent design is one that we have addressed numerous times at ENV and elsewhere (most recently, here). Yet even though the argument has been convincingly refuted time and again, it lives on in the popular literature. My friend...
Replicating DNA with Extraordinary Fidelity: Meet DNA Polymerase
In a previous article, I gave a brief overview of the complex molecular mechanisms governing DNA replication. Now, I will focus specifically on the replication enzyme DNA polymerase. DNA polymerase is the enzyme responsible for synthesizing new strands of DNA,...
DNA Replication: An Engineering Marvel
Recently I have been reviewing some literature on the elegant molecular mechanisms by which DNA is replicated. As an undergraduate biology student, I recall being struck by their sheer complexity, sophistication, and intrinsic beauty. As I read about such a carefully...
More Functions for “Junk DNA”
A new paper has just been published in the journal Genome Biology by John Rinn and David Kelley, identifying a role for transposable elements in gene regulation in stem cells. Click here to continue reading>>>
Intergenic Retrotransposons Can Serve Long-Range Functions
Retrotransposons (which include LINEs, SINEs, and ERVs) are known for the ability of their long-terminal repeats (LTRs) to serve as promoters and enhancers for regulating the expression of genes that are immediately downstream (Conley et al., 2008; Dunn et al., 2005)....
The Design of the Complement Cascade
When I was an undergraduate biology student, one of my favorite topics was the complement system in immunology. The complement cascade is an array of sequentially interacting proteins that serve a vital role in innate immune responses. The complement cascade can be...
Asteroid Belts and Planet Biohabitability
A new study by Rebecca Martin of the University of Colorado finds that "Solar systems with life-bearing planets may be rare if they are dependent on the presence of asteroid belts of just the right mass." Science Daily summarizes: "They suggest that the size and...
The Molecular "Clutch" of the Dynein Motor Protein
Over at Evolution News & Views, I have just published a blog post on the recent paper in the journal Cell regarding the molecular clutch of the dynein motor protein: Here at ENV, I have previously described the molecular flagellar clutch of Bacillus subtilis, the...
Nature News: ‘Arsenic-life’ bacterium prefers phosphorus after all
Readers may recall the media hype, back in December 2010, surrounding the claim that a bacterium is capable of utilising arsenic instead of phosphorous in its DNA. A new study, published in Nature and reported on by Nature News, has discovered that the bacterium...
On the Origin of Protein Folds
A common objection to the theory of intelligent design (ID) is that it has no power to make testable predictions, and thus there is no basis for calling it science at all. While recognising that testability may not be a sufficient or necessary resolution of the...
Here Comes McBride (Again): The Debate on Junk DNA Continues
Over at his Still Monkeys blog, Paul McBride has offered a rebuttal to my defense of Casey Luskin's chapter on junk DNA in the new book Science and Human Origins. Similar to Larry Moran (whom I previously rebuffed here), McBride writes, Click here to continue...
"Junk DNA," "Non-Coding DNA," and Larry Moran’s Hyper-Pedantry
Earlier this week, David Klinghoffer posted an article responding to Larry Moran's claim of contradiction between myself and Jonathan Wells on "junk DNA." Larry Moran has now posted a follow-up on his blog. Click here to continue reading>>>
