The latest AITSE presentation is on cells, the smallest and simplest unit of matter that can still be considered alive. Those things that Darwin’s contemporary Huxley described as simple bags of protoplasm and those integrated systems that origin of life researchers posit spontaneously arose from the primordial soup or something of the…
With the release of Obama’s America, Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed is again attracting media attention. Both movies are conservative documentaries–Obama’s America has now displaced Expelled as the top conservative documentary. The difference between the two? You can see Expelled for free by clicking on the link above; you have to pay for Obama’s America. The…
Dr. Nickolas Drapela used to work at Oregon State University, but no more. This well-loved senior instructor in the department of chemistry, author of textbooks, and award winning teacher was fired without explanation, apparently without reason.
But, a quick search soon reveals that Dr. Drapela was guilty of a science sin–he questioned the politically correct consensus on global climate change….

As our readers know, AITSE is committed to help improve science education and encourage scientific integrity. And for those familiar with our Bunk Detecting Principles, it comes as no surprise that some scientists employ smoke and mirrors in an effort to validate certain claims. Here is a nice example of one such…
Dr. Bill Dembski has been an AITSE-encourager from the start. He is also a member of the AITSE consortium of scientists, engineers, and physicians. With two earned doctoral degrees (mathematics and philosophy) and several other masters and bachelors degrees, Dr. Dembski is more than qualified to help AITSE in our mission to educate and encourage integrity in science.

Dr. Jim Enstrom has been working as a researcher and professor for the Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center and the Department of Environmental Sciences at UCLA since 1974. But more recently he has also been waging a battle with his employers (UCLA vs. Professor Enstrom). They say that his work and results are not consistent with the mission…
Dr. Mary Korte of Concordia University in Wisconsin has now joined the AITSE consortium. Welcome! Dr. Korte specializes in environmental sciences and is passionate about scientific integrity. We look forward to receiving her contributions, especially to hearing more about her work and about the details of the corruption she has personally encountered in science (not at Concordia).
Sadly, her story of…
According to an article written by AITSE Consortium member Dr Curt Deckert, our eyes out-perform even the “Hasselblad H4D-200MS, a 200 megapixel camera designed for use in high-end commercial photography studios,” and they do it in 3-D! Moreover, our retinas each contain about 100 megapixels in multiple layers of sensor cells that have “millions of pathways that allow…
“Caroline, I can tell you have the fire in your belly. Follow that passion and I will support you all the way.” This is what Dr. Bill Dembski, now a member of the AITSE Consortium, said to Dr. Crocker in the summer of 2008. This was soon followed by encouragement from several other leading scientists and…

In an article titled “Life Is Complicated” in Nature 464, April 2010, Erika Check Hayden explores the frustration many biologist are experiencing with the realization that the genome is becoming more complex than they could of imagined. To illustrate the depth of the problem, the article states “Instead, as sequencing and other new…
Dr. Don Johnson, an AITSE Consortium member who holds a PhD in chemistry and another in computer and information sciences, sent AITSE a copy of his book, Probability’s Nature and Nature’s Probability Lite (this is the easy version of the book). Because the website advertising this book is all about integrity in science, we were intrigued. Then, today…
The Astronomy Department Chair at the University of Kentucky hailed Dr. C. Martin Gaskell as “clearly the most experienced” applicant in a search for the new director of the MacAdam Student Observatory. The head of the search committee said that Gaskell already had experience in everything such a position would require. Nonetheless, he was not…

Sometimes a little controversy helps. Dr. Caroline Crocker has set one rolling that probably will not stop with the publication of her book. Having studied biology on the undergraduate level, I can only say that Dr. Crocker is one classy teacher: knows her field, is a proven scientist, and wants to reach for all she can…
According to a popular blog, AITSE Consortium member “Robert Marks has built a career establishing his credibility as a foremost thinker and researcher on the topic of computational intelligence. He has amassed an enviable publication record and huge set of government research grants. No one can question his scientific bona fides. And now, with his Evolutionary Informatics Lab (www.evoinfo.org),…
Dr. Granville Sewell is a tenured professor in mathematics at the University of Texas, El Paso who has published three books and has over 40 peer-reviewed articles to his credit. But when he wrote a paper questioning aspects of the neo-Darwinian orthodoxy, he found that his peer-reviewed and accepted paper was pulled by the Journal of Mathematical…
Dr. Robert Marks II and Dr. Bill Dembski, AITSE consortium members, are highly qualified mathematicians working as senior research scientists at the Evolutionary Informatics Lab. According to them, “Intelligent design is the study of patterns in nature best explained as the product of intelligence. So defined, intelligent design seems unproblematic.” However, “intelligent design, when applied to biology, seems to…
Research psychiatrist and AITSE consortium member, Dr. Jeffrey Schwartz says that you are. And that you don’t need to give in to your impulses or even your “brain attractions.” Contrary to what we are being told by some in academia, we are more than animals.
This is great news for those who find themselves trapped in destructive cycles…

“Darwinists have been known to say that adaptationism is the best idea that anybody has ever had. It would be a good joke if the best idea that anybody has ever had turned out not to be true. A lot of the history of science consists of the world playing that sort of joke on our most cherished theories.”
— Dr. Jerry Fodor, Professor of Philosophy and Cognitive Sciences, Rutgers University
