Evolution News and Science Today

How radical has the UN become? This radical. Volker Türk, the United Nations’ High Commissioner for Human Rights, stated in a recent speech at Oxford University that nature rights are equivalent to human rights. First, he briefly focused on our obligations as humans to treat the environment responsibly.

Editor’s note: We are glad to present this excerpt from the new book from Discovery Institute Press, Plato’s Revenge: The New Science of the Immaterial Genome, by David Klinghoffer. In a meeting with colleagues at Discovery Institute in 2024, Richard Sternberg was sketching his thoughts on a whiteboard. What he was arguing for was revolutionary, but one would never have guessed it by his manner. He seemed to have taken advice from an icon of the American founding, Benjamin Franklin.

Casey Luskin broke the bombshell story that a Nature paper published in April had overturned an evolutionary icon: the endlessly repeated statistic that human and chimp DNA are separated by a difference of just “1 percent” or so. Science media and educators brandish the figure to show that human beings are little more than just fancy chimpanzees.

Richard Sternberg’s immaterial genome thesis sounds radical, and it is. As described in my book Plato’s Revenge, he argues from the evidence of mathematical biology that the information stored in DNA, and in other cellular structures, falls very far short in accounting for organismal development, even in a relatively simple microorganism such as yeast. Instead, something like Platonic forms, outside time and space, are at work.

I was just listening to the fantastically lucid new interview with physicist Brian Miller on ID the Future. Dr. Miller and host Andrew McDiarmid discuss the immaterial genome theory being developed by biologist Richard Sternberg. His research, in turn, is the subject of my new book, Plato’s Revenge.

As established by the great medical humanitarian, the late Dame Cecily Saunders, hospice was designed to treat “total pain” of patients — whether physical, emotional, or spiritual — to the end of ensuring that the care offered is about living, not just death. When it works as intended, as it did for both my parents, the beneficence offered to patients and their families cannot be quantified. Alas, the hospice movement is in serious trouble.

The new authorized William F. Buckley Jr. bio by Sam Tanenhaus is taking a lot of criticism from people who knew and admired WFB. For Buckley on evolution, see here. Actually, I’m enjoying the book very much so far, but I am prepared to start joining the critics as I read further. Bill Buckley was the greatest man to whom I’ve had the opportunity to become close — although as a young editor at National Review, unfortunately, I was too shy to attempt to do so. That was my fault, not his.

The chaos spreading up the West Coast, among many other symptoms of the current madness, didn’t come out of nowhere. Writing at the magazine Chronicles, our friend John Zmirak has an apt metaphor — from personal finance — for the impact of Darwinism on culture:Imagine your banker installed a new accounting system. It has all sorts of bells and whistles, syncs up with a handy app on your phone, and makes financial transactions much more transparent and convenient.

Encountering little political resistance, the “nature rights” movement continues its march toward legal and institutional respectability. Now, the Council of Paris has asked the French Parliament to grant legal personhood and “rights” to the river Seine. From the RTL Today story:French authorities want to give legal rights to the River Seine to better defend the world-famous waterway in court and protect its fragile ecosystem, part of a global movement to grant legal personhood to nature.

Editor’s note: We are glad to present this excerpt from the new book from Discovery Institute Press, Plato’s Revenge: The New Science of the Immaterial Genome, by David Klinghoffer. As I was writing this, evolutionary biologist Colin Wright took a poll on X. He posed the following question: “Is Intelligent Design a scientific hypothesis?” Wright is a Fellow at the Manhattan Institute and an advisor for Atheists for Liberty.
