List members may be interested in an online interview with Kirk Dunston
of the New Scholars Society in Canada, where he talks about intelligent
design, Darwinian evolution, and genome mapping. The controversy is only
now spreading to Canada.
One of his comments:

“Natural processes, over the history of the universe, have the potential
to produce up to 70 bits of information. Unfortunately, just one,
average 300-residue protein requires about 500 bits to encode. The
simplest theoretical life form would need somewhere in the neighbourhood
of 250 protein-coding genes. ”
There is also an interview with me at

One of my comments: “I only discovered how much trouble Darwinism was in
when I took a year out of my life -- late 2002 to late 2003 -- to study
the situation. I was appalled. Darwinism has nothing like the support
that we are accustomed to for theories in physics or chemistry.”
