Much has been said about evolution, creation or intelligent design (ID) arguments. Evolutionists have taken ID scientists to court and settled their score in this dispute. While we are certainly curious about this scientific method of settling scientific issues in court, we would like to examine, the nature and method of science from two Nobel Laureates: Richard P Feynman and Percy W Bridgman. Liny J examines this.   

For 18 years Dr. Schaefer was a faculty member at the University of California at Berkeley, where he remains Professor of Chemistry, Emeritus. Since 1987 Dr. Schaefer has been Graham Perdue Professor of Chemistry and Director of the Center for Computational Chemistry at the University of Georgia. Following are the excrepts of a personal conversation with Jerry & Liny.

A response to the Times of India

On May 29, 2006, The Times of India published an article titled “Were we made or did we just happen? The author Ashutosh, Pune based physicist, rhetorically asked many questions that supposedly refute the Intelligent Design. Jerry Thomas answers his questions.

Out of 204 scientists replying to the journal’s questionnaire, 197 reported they were aware of cheating by their colleagues.

But, the question is whether Wu-suk should face the trial alone? Should not many other scientists be in jail for partnering in cheating scientific methodologies ? Jerry Thomas raises these questions.
