The Nazi German military had developed a code system, called Enigma, for sending information and directions to its field units and ships. ...Alan Turing and the team of codebreakers successfully developed a machine to decode the Germans’ messages. The breaking of Enigma is considered among the top accomplishments leading to Allied victory in the War. Consider now that the field of code-making and code-breaking, formally called cryptography, unveils fundamental evidence of intelligence.

Intelligent Design Creationism and Its Critics Review by Jeff Stueber, November/December 2007
Excerpt: "Robert Pennock’s book Intelligent Design Creationism and Its Critics is a monstrous 805 page manifesto. ... Pennock is a convinced anti-ID evolutionist."

Review of Larry Witham's "By Design: Science and the Search for God" (San Francisco, Encounter Books, 2003)
Witham's book is a tremendous account of the scientific changes that drove evolutionist beliefs and the scientific finds that propelled theories of intelligent design. Hence, we find a dialogue between the two and it is no longer fashionable to speak of science as if it stands in opposition to religion. Science, it seems, confirms the theologian, and, as Witham points out, evolutionists no longer feels as certain about their victory over God as they did when Julian Huxley announced that Darwin had banished God from reality.

What the video does is show that people who believe in evolution can’t necessarily give answers to simple questions about their beliefs. Often they demonstrate that their beliefs are based on faith in teachers or scientists who are presumed to have those answers. These “experts” do not have those answers, though, and faith in them is nothing but a cop-out and excuse to evade thinking about questions about creation and evolution.

Review - Finding Darwin's God by Jeffrey Stueber Review of Kenneth Miller’s book, "Finding Darwin‘s God."
This book is a stern rebuke to the intelligent-design community, which is gaining headway among the educational establishment, fellow scientists, theologians, and many youth. Miller seeks to debunk I.D. and reaffirm naturalistic evolution while installing theistic evolution as God’s chosen method of creating.

Books Creationists Should Own -David Stove’s Darwinian Fairytales; article by Jeffrey Stueber
Stueber writes: Evolution by natural selection, Stove says, is a general theory that applies to all species including humans, and if it is not true of humans it is not true. Stove is also blunt in noting that if Darwin’s theory were true, the human race would never exist and does so only because, contrary to Darwinian belief, cooperation was always stronger than competition.

Review - Ben Stein's Expelled - No Intelligence Allowed Review by Jeffrey Stueber
I still find this movie useful, but it must be considered when bracketed with some of the more critical sites I mention above. What this movie also reveals is that evolutionists would be wise to not appear on camera in a movie that is willing to ask whether evolution is really true.

Review of Bill Maher's Religulous - Part 2 Review by Jeffrey Stueber
Around September of last year, there was an interesting occurrence in the world of media. The movie An American Carol ridiculed the American left while the movie Religulous criticized religion - all religions. One could, if one wished, get theatrical whiplash after viewing this unique potpourri of left and right thought.

Critique of B.C. Johnson's Atheist Debater's Handbook. "While there will continue to be skeptical arguments against the possibility of divine design, this essay has shown that, despite the appeal to common sense, a large portion of skeptics' arguments simply have no logical appeal."
Description
If anyone should know the evidence for evolution, it should be Gould. In an article for Discover magazine, he offered three pieces of evidence for evolution. Despite his obvious scientific acumen, his arguments were not only philosophically illogical but contrary to the available evidence and his own writing.

John West, Darwin Day in America, and Benjamin Wiker, Darwinism in America Review by Jeffrey Stueber Published 2008
Excerpt: Those alien to these issues will be surprised at how prevalent evolutionism was before Darwin
Excerpt: This reasoning makes perfect sense in a Darwinian world. If we are merely programmed to act by our genes and environment, then free choice is a myth. Hence, we can cure people of their bad choices by finding what causes them to act like they do. When we change their environment they will act correctly.

Smart People Do Doubt Evolution by Jeffrey Stueber
Evolutionists proclaim only the ignorant have doubts about evolution. However, some very intelligent non-creationists like Richard Milton, David Stove, Norman Macbeth, David Berlinski, and Michael Denton have shown otherwise.

I claim that, using current evolutionists’ methodology, many of their claims cannot be validated as true or false. This is because they claim that specific evidence validates the truth of evolution, but when contrary data appears they claim that is evidence as well. Cornelius Hunter explains the problem well: "There is nothing wrong with a theory that is comfortable with different outcomes, but there is something wrong when one of those outcomes is then claimed as supporting evidence. If a theory can predict both A and not-A, then neither A nor not-A can be used as evidence for the theory." Evolution, as it is promoted today, does exactly this as I show below.
