The Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne (IPFW) University Religious Forum will host “Understanding the Nature of Science: Why Intelligent Design is Considered a Pseudo-Science” with Jeff Nowak, Ph.D., Thursday, Nov. 19, from noon to 1:15 p.m. in IPFW Walb Student Union, Room G21.

The presentation is free and open to the public. A simple lunch is served; donations are accepted. Reservations are not necessary. The series is sponsored by IPFW Campus Ministry.

Nowak is an associate professor of science education at IPFW and director of Northeast Indiana Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (NISTEM) Education Resource Center. He will discuss why people believe the theory of intelligent design is not true science and attempt to demonstrate that intelligent design should be considered a scientific theory.

bjohnson  - ID is a religious concept   |209.44.163.xxx |2009-11-11 01:59:23 Why is it that only religious organizations put on seminars promoting ID if it is not a religious concept? Reply 0   0

Enezio E. de Almeida Filho  - What's the nature of science?   |201.58.164.xxx |2009-11-10 10:40:45 Can you tell us what's the nature of science? Watch your definition for some sciences won't qualify as true science by your view. Reply 0   0

Paul Burnett  - Intelligent Design Creationism Is Not - And Can No   |64.161.0.xxx |2009-11-10 10:18:39 One wonders how loudly Dr. Nowak and other dupes and minions of the Dishonesty Institute would scream if a "University Science Forum" had the audacity and arrogance to host a presentation on "Understanding the Nature of Religion." Intelligent design creationism meets all the requirements of a being a pseudoscience, and meets none of the requirements of being an actual science. That's why "cdesign proponentsists" (Google the term if you're not familiar with this sordid story) have given up on doing research and have focussed all their attention on church conferences and presentations to religious - not scientific - audiences. As Michael Behe famously admitted in the 2005 "Dover Trial" (look it up in Wikipedia), for science to accept intelligent design creationism as "science," the definition of science would have to so dumbed down it would also allow astrology to be accepted...

Steve P.  - Poor Paul   |60.250.51.xxx |2009-11-11 16:32:55 Still feeling the need to regurgitating childish caricatures like the 'Dishonesty Institute" and 'cdesign proponentsists', Paul? I wonder why that is. Could it be true Neo-Darwinism has left such a big void in your life that you have no where else to turn? We're pulling for ya', Paul. Reply 0   0
