With a Hopeful Message About Life’s “X Factor,” Episode 5 of Secrets of the Cell Is Well Timed ([link removed])
Professor Michael Behe invites us to review the sweep of his argument for intelligent design, as he has presented it in his books and other publications. This is, from top to bottom, an empirical argument, as he points out. It can only be fairly evaluated on empirical not religious grounds.

Human Zoos — How “Science” Fueled the Racial Fire ([link removed])
As Charles Darwin conceived it, evolution posits a racial hierarchy. In any hierarchy, someone has to be at the bottom. According to Darwin, that place was occupied by Africans. This was the scientific consensus of its day. “Listen to the scientists,” I imagine that 19th- and 20th-century racists might have instructed us. In the multiple award-winning _Human Zoos_, Dr. West unearths a forgotten but instructive chapter in that painful history.

No Free Will Means No Justice ([link removed])
Jerry Coyne is completely wrong about free will. Physical determinism, on which he bases his denial, is known _scientifically_ to be untrue. Furthermore, if we were not free and our thoughts and actions were wholly the result of the chemistry and physics in our brains, then our opinions would have no truth value—chemical reactions are neither true nor false. Denial of free will based on physical determinism is bad science and self-refuting to boot.
