Article "On the BBC, a New Openness to Teleology in Biology?" at Discovery Institute's site Evolution News (August 2, 2023) about a great review by Richard Buggs on a very surprising new openness in BBC nature documentaries to non-Darwinian processes and teleology in the history of life.

On August 9 Matt Fradd recorded a one hour interview with me for his highly popular Catholic YouTube channel and podcast Pints with Aquinas. Currently the full video is only available for paying supporters at Locals, but two short clips have been publicly released on YouTube.

Bill Needle has produced yet another inept response to one of my articles titled “Bechly's Waiting Time Bullshit!” at his Marmotism blog (September 23, 2022), with which he again illustrates the extremely lowly level of opposition the ID movement faces today. Gutter language and straw man are all they have to offer. Pitiful and despicable!

Gutter language blogger Bill Needle produced another piece of prose titled “Bloviating Bechly's Shitgibbon "Challenge"!", talking to himself (and his only reader, me) at his lonely Marmotism blog (October 9, 2023). This time he really reached a new peak of stupidity and incompetence, which is not just ridiculous but embarrassingly pathetic. Not only does he totally fail to understand and correctly describe my challenge, but he still hasn't grasped that I am not disputing common descent, he has not grasped that the completeness of the fossil record depends on the hierarchical level you look at, and he is dumb enough to issue a challenge to me to come up with an ID mechanism, obviously totally ignorant of the fact that I already did, based on quantum biology (and by the way it is not "God diddit"). This guy simply must be a joke, where is the hidden camera?

This podcast is also featured in the article “Günter Bechly on Why Seventy Years of Textbook Wisdom Was Wrong” by Andrew McDiarmid for Discovery Institute's site Evolution News (October 17, 2023).

Obviously, even humble alternatives like quantum idealism can trigger hardcore materialists so big time that they engage in hilarious tirades of vulgarity and irrational propaganda like this newest posting by blogger Bill Needle titled “Bechly's Hilariously Strange Loopiness!” at his Marmotism blog (December 19, 2023), featuring a dozen f-words but not a single argument. I hope this highly disturbed psychopath is just a keyboard lion and not a real threat to public safety.
