Kenneth R. Miller, professor of biology at Brown University. His research work on cell membrane structure and function has been reported in Nature Cell.and the Journal of Cell Biology (naturalhistory.com)

He has co-authored several high school and college biology textbooks and published the book Finding Darwin's God: A Scientist's Search for Common Ground Between God and Evolution, Cliff Street Books, 1999.

In his efforts to support the evolutionary theory in an article entitled 'The Flaw in the Mousetrap' in Nature, April, 2002, he begins by stating that."The scientific community has been unimpressed by attempts to resurrect the so-called argument from design...".

Now, come on Ken, the scientific community is a whole and I'm sure that most of those comprising it do not relish.implication of consent by association. True scientists look askance at such hauteur and should be removed from predilection, which you infer.

I consider a 'true' scientist to be open-minded.(example), one willing to consider inconsistencies, leaving no stone unturned in his assay, before any assessment toward assets.

Many behavioral 'scientists' need to familiarize themselves once again with the root meaning of the word 'scientist'.

But I am heartened by the title of the book that Ken has published, Finding Darwin's God: A Scientist's Search for Common Ground Between God and Evolution. I see open-mindedness there.

Soon, I pray.(and I am praying for you), this will be true for you too:.Isaiah 25:7. And you will be out from the spell of the master deceiver.(Revelation 12:9).and into peace:.Romans 16:20; 2Thessalonians 3:16; Philippians 4:9; 1Thessalonians 5:23.

Ian Tattersall, curator of anthropology at the American Museum of Natural History: excerpts from his article in Nature.(naturalhistory.com), April, 2002, from his latest book,.The Monkey in the Mirror: Essays on the Science of What Makes Us Human, Harcourt, 2001.."Religions seek ultimate truth and do so in a variety of ways. But no really honest scientist would claim to be doing anything like the same thing.

"Science is a matter of honing our perceptions of ourselves and of the world around us, of producing an increasingly accurate description of our physical and biological environments and how they work.

"What science emphatically is not is an absolutist system of belief. Rather, it is constantly subject to rearrangement and change as our collective knowledge increases. How can we make progress in science if what we believe today cannot be shown tomorrow to be somehow wrong or at least incomplete?

"Religious knowledge is in principle eternal, but scientific knowledge is by its very nature provisional. But, in actual fact, scientists are in pursuit of knowledge about mundane realities and are not in the business of revealing timeless truths. Indeed, intelligent design.(see a very intelligent movie), which is offered as an alternative to evolution by natural selection, is essentially an engineering concept. ...Artificial intelligence...is unlikely ever to match our own strange but unique brand of smarts...scientists would do well to insist on educating students better about what the profession.(scientists) actually involves. For if our young people think of science as monolithic.(massive).and authoritarian, they are likely to have excessively high expectations for it and to be disappointed by the inevitable cases in which scientific hypotheses turn out to be wrong. Evolutionary theory is deficient because it is 'just a hypotheses'? If so, then we might as well throw out all of science, for the same is true of all scientific knowledge."

William A. Dembski, Ph.D. mathematics and philosophy, associate research professor at Baylor University, senior fellow with the Discovery Institute in Seattle, author of.The Design Inference: Eliminating Chance through Small Probabilities, Cambridge University Press, 1998 and.No Free Lunch: Why Specified Complexity Cannot Be Purchased Without Intelligence, Rowan and Littlefield, 2001.."...in special sciences ranging from forensics to archaeology to SETI.(Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence).the appeal to a designing intelligence is indispensable. What's more, within these sciences there are well developed techniques for identifying intelligence. Essential to all these techniques is the ability to eliminate chance and necessity.
