This is worth a listen.
On Monday, September 30, Mr. Hugh Owen, founder and director of the
Kolbe Center for the Study of Creation, gave an insightful talk on Creation, Evolution and the Crisis of Faith: A Traditional Catholic Perspective. We caught it all on audio! Please click the link below to download the talk!

Book Review: Darwin’s Doubt: The Explosive Origin of Animal Life and the Case for Intelligent Design
Slowly but surely we are finding life is more complex than we ever thought. From the review: Darwinism and Materialism: They Sink or Swim Together He quotes the information theorist Henry Quastler who stated that “the creation of information is habitually associated with conscious activity.”
"Will Stephen Meyer’s Darwin’s Doubt be “the most despised science book” of 2013?"
"Recently the Discovery Institute’s Stephen Meyer published Darwin’s Doubt, a book that raises many questions about the theory of evolution. As his title tells us, Darwin himself shared one of these doubts. The book has sold well, reaching #7 on the New York Times bestseller list, #4 on the Los Angeles Times list, and #10 on Publishers Weekly." “Darwin said that speciation occurred too slowly for us to see it. Gould and Eldredge said it occurred too quickly for us to see it. Either way we don’t see it.”
"Organisms are intelligently designed, says Meyer, who has a PhD from Cambridge University in the philosophy of science. His book is an education, demanding attentive reading but no specialized knowledge. To a large extent it uses the facts and arguments of professional biologists, some bordering on open dissent from the orthodoxy."
So we see more support for IDvolution - God “breathed” the super language of DNA into the “kinds” in the creative act.

Human Genome in Meltdown
A previous post here -
Dr. John Sanford "Genetic Entropy and the Mystery of the Genome"
Below is additional support for IDvolution.
Some quotes from Dr John Sanford on genetic entropy. Very consistent with IDvolution and Scripture. To get the full effect take the time to view the videos. Listen carefully where he states it is "kind of a trade secret of population geneticists." The design of the genome is astonishing and shows intelligence, design and purpose.
"We are not some casual and meaningless product of evolution. Each of us is a thought of God."Pope Benedict XVI
and now we have this in Nature. Analysis of 6,515 exomes reveals the recent origin of most human protein-coding variants 86% arose in the last 5-10,000 years.

Rocking the foundations of biology
Here it is again - top down - DNA is not the sole transmitter of
inheritance - paper after paper is now showing the inheritance
epigenetic information - information is the driver. >
Neo Darwinism crumbling......
A major revolution is occurring in evolutionary biology. In this video the President of the International Union of Physiological Sciences, Professor Denis Noble, explains what is happening and why it is set to change the nature of biology and of the importance of physiology to that change. The lecture was given to a general audience at a major international Congress held in Suzhou China. The implications of the change extend far beyond biology itself.

A new definition of species
I had predicted this a number of times before. As we study genetics further we will find a better way to classify species. Alas, here we have a new paper that
Recent experimental data from proteomics and genomics are interpreted here in ways that challenge the predominant viewpoint in biology according to which the four evolutionary processes, including mutation, recombination, natural selection and genetic drift, are sufficient to explain the origination of species. The predominant viewpoint appears incompatible with the finding that the sequenced genome of each species contains hundreds, or even thousands, of unique genes – the genes that are not shared with any other species. These unique genes and proteins, singletons, define the very character of every species. Moreover, the distribution of protein families from the sequenced genomes indicates that the complexity of genomes grows in a manner different from that of self-organizing networks: the dominance of singletons leads to the conclusion that in living organisms a most unlikely phenomenon can be the most common one. In order to provide proper rationale for these conclusions related to the singletons, the paper first treats the frequency of functional proteins among random sequences, followed by a discussion on the protein structure space, and it ends by questioning the idea that protein domains represent conserved units of evolution.

Information - the Word, The Logos
This is a video worth watching. The Q an A is also interesting. The tide is turning....
More support for IDvolution - God “breathed” the super language of DNA into the “kinds” in the creative act.
"the displacement problem - where every attempt to explain the origin of information absent an intelligent agent either fails or it surreptitiously smuggles in the effect of intelligent agency...."
... "a byproduct of this artificial restriction on reasoning that excludes the reality of something of which we all know, which is mind, agency has certain causal powers that nature itself by itself does not have and when we encounter effects that we know only agents can produce it is rational to infer the activity of agency not to exclude it on principle and say well we must be scientific"
