Phil Halper has argued against a position that no one holds, and his argument as a whole lays claim to the very capacity his objection denies.scienceandculture.com/2026/05/halper…

The beginning of the universe doesn’t need to be singular, so doubts about a singularity don’t need to translate into doubts about a beginning. scienceandculture.com/2026/05/on-the…

Scientists are not, or should not be, tabloid headline writers. They should only make claims that are strongly supported by evidence.scienceandculture.com/2026/05/applyi…

My latest: Why write about this, Wesley? Articles in professional journals are a means of constructing future public policy and people need to be warned. Or to put it another way, these issues are too important to be left to the bioethicists. nationalreview.com/corner/bioethi…

The debate over evolution and design isn’t going away. Casey Luskin shows that a prominent theistic evolution defense depends heavily on arguments that have already collapsed under scrutiny. Link below 👇

Calling Gibberson, Miller, McGrath, and others theistic evolutionists is inaccurate because it fails to distinguish them from genuinely theistic evolutionists. scienceandculture.com/2026/05/darwin…

Why would most people avoid drinking stagnant water from a puddle or a swamp? Probably not for fear of ingesting some dissolved salts or minerals.scienceandculture.com/2026/05/cosmos…

Scientists have discovered a whole suite of parameters and initial conditions appear to be exquisitely tuned to allow for complex life to exist.scienceandculture.com/2026/05/defend…

People are always welcome to change their views in response to what they feel is convincing new evidence. scienceandculture.com/2026/05/human-…

Cambridge philosopher Nathan Hawkins dives deep with Stephen Meyer and pushes the conversation into metaphysics, philosophy of mind, and the conceptual foundations of physics itself. Link in comments

The lead author is John Hawks, a professor of anthropology at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, who has a popular blog on paleoanthropology.scienceandculture.com/2026/05/not-ou…

@StephenCMeyer They are about to disclose that our genes were edited by "aliens". Please address this issue.

Meyer walks us through why the leading scientific theories—chance (random processes) and necessity (natural laws)—consistently fail to explain how the nucleotide bases in DNA got hitched together in the correct order. If life runs on digital code, we must look for the source of the "software" inside the cell. youtu.be/eO1WLR5Hf2U

@pato48999878 @StephenCMeyer The Story of Everythinig will be streaming on various platforms later this summer. We will post details as soon as we know more.

@StephenCMeyer When will the movie be available for streaming? Was hardly available in the theater locally. Will be glad to pay, Thanks your work is very interesting. I also find it interesting your activity here get relatively low engagement.

Professor Kuebler doesn’t acknowledge the pattern of explosions in the fossil record, but he does cite a supposed transitional form.scienceandculture.com/2026/05/addres…

A couple years ago I reported on some of Jim Tour’s debates and how they raise the question of how non-experts can determine who is right during...scienceandculture.com/2026/05/new-lo…

To skip to the punchline, Kuebler says that "species as distantly related as humans and mice share a huge array of synteny blocks."scienceandculture.com/2026/05/bad-sy…

Professor Kuebler uses a classical argument for common descent, citing the universality of the genetic code.scienceandculture.com/2026/05/theist…

We’ve gone back and forth with Dr. Barr many times in the past. Mainstream paleoanthropologists acknowledge that the origin of humans is sudden and abrupt.scienceandculture.com/2026/05/physic…
