As Dr. Egnor contends, near-death experiences offer modern, experiential evidence that the human mind is not confined to the skull.
One of the common yet unexpected reactions from critics to the discovery that humans and chimps are 15 percent genetically different is to change the topic.
Here are two highlights that give some sense of the scope and tenor of the debate.

We have good reasons to believe that these differences are reliable and real and even represent functional, meaningful DNA.
The nasty racial implications of Darwin’s theory should not just be tastefully ignored.
When a belief conflicts with common sense present-day reality, it is usually upholding an irrational value.

Artistic license has been used to promote Darwinian evolution since the late 19th century.
J. B. S. Haldane initially subscribed to some of the racism of the era — but, to his credit, his views shifted over time as more evidence came to light.

Of course, if they followed river systems, they were assured of sources of food and water along the way.
What’s most ironic here is that these critics aren’t disputing that the evidence really does show that humans and chimps are 15 percent genetically different.

Pressed by the Trump Administration, the Smithsonian has ordered a review of its museums for what Trump calls “improper, divisive or anti-American ideology.”

Peter Robinson sits down with Michael Behe, John Lennox, and Stephen Meyer, three leading voices in science on the case for an intelligent designer.

I have warned that one of the few remaining avenues that naturalism can take to rescue its paradigm is to appropriate “purpose” within a materialist framework.
To say that consciousness is real is to say that the immaterial world is, in principle, real.
Charles Darwin formulated his theory at a time when it was commonly assumed that different races of humans had different natural levels of intelligence.
20.06.2025
I spoke with physicist Dr. Brian Miller about the fruitful research that can result when engineering principles are applied to the study of biological systems.
The insinuation is that something went wrong in the lab during the attempted alignment process.
“For, that there are men with tails,” wrote Lord Monboddo, “…is a fact so well attested that I think it cannot be doubted.”

The United Nations’ High Commissioner for Human Rights stated in a recent speech at Oxford University that nature rights are equivalent to human rights.
Before we dive into what critics are saying, I want to note that good authorities have come to similar numerical conclusions as I did.
With Darwin’s disciples preaching at him adamantly in the culture, Jeff felt no accountability to a seemingly hands-off God, if one existed at all.
The only type of explanation that adequately accounts for this type of phenomenon is a goal-directed, or intelligent, cause.

Note to President Trump: I find this pretty disrespectful to the people who pay the bills at the Smithsonian.
In the last 70 years it was expected by many that all three of Jean Rostand’s “cardinal problems of biology” would be solved without design.
13.06.2025
The human mind, like the origin and development of life itself, is not reducible to merely physical processes.
What I’ve learned since my book came out is that Dr. Sternberg, far from being isolated in his views, is only saying the quiet part out loud.
12.06.2025
He had a sense of the immateriality of the genome, much like that of his friend Richard Sternberg.
We are seeing a growth in genuine curiosity, which is a welcome change, and likely to be a fruitful one.

A similar hypothesis is also on the horizon coming from biologists like Michael Levin unconnected to the ID community.
Often now people approach me after a speech or call in on talk radio to tell me that they do not trust hospice to properly care for their loved ones.
