it’s been a slow few days …
February 23, 2009 on 3:10 pm | In Uncategorized | 2 CommentsJust a note of apology. I threw out my back last Friday and have been basically immobilized since. I still can’t sit for more than a few minutes (standing is a bit better), but I’ve managed to figure out a way to type and use the computer while basically reclining.

An Appropriate Rebuke to Those Who Would Argue Genetic Similarity Between Humans and ET Life Would Support Naturalistic Evolution

Creationists and Evolutionists Declaring Peace . . . On the Basis of Panspermia?
February 11, 2009 on 10:30 am | In ET Life, Panspermia | No CommentsThis post by Loren Coleman over on Cryptomundo calls for peace between the two camps. It doesn’t mention panspermia, but one of the commenters does, noting that some who believe in intelligent design opt for “designerS,” as in ETs. Recall my recent post about how some Christian IDers are talking positively about panspermia — not to replace God with ET — but this responder to Coleman’s post shows how easy that would be.
