Postcard from São Paulo: Intelligent Design Sung to a New Tune in Brazil

Adauto Lourenço, Ann Gauger, atheists, Brazil, Brazilian Academy of Sciences, Brazilian Society for Intelligent Design, Brazilian Society of Intelligent Design, debates, Doubts About Darwin, Douglas Axe, Enézio de Almeida Filho, English, epigenetics, Evolution, fine-tuning, Fomos Planejados, Heleno Hauer, ID Bird, Intelligent Design, Jonathan Wells, Juan Manuel Torres, Kelson Mota, Luiz Felipe Pondé, Mackenzie Presbyterian University, Marcos Eberlin, Michael Behe, molecular machines, Philip Johnson, Portuguese, Ricardo Marques, São Paulo, Spanish, Stephen Meyer, teoria do design inteligente, Tom Woodward, William Dembski

The theme of the conference was familiar to us, but I’d like to think that we’ve heard it sung to a new tune in more ways than one. Source
