ID Snapshots from 2007
There is an interesting selection here:

As this year draws to a close, I’d like to present a few snapshots of what’s been happening around the world with the Darwin vs. Design debate, as well as what we have accomplished here at ARN:
Complexity of Molecular Machines – Science Daily reported on remarkable molecular “machines” in living cells, the ribosomes. These “factories” are giving scientists clues to the development of new antibiotics and revealing secrets about how cells use the genetic information encoded in DNA. The full story is in a February 19, 2007 article in Chemical & Engineering News (C&EN), American Chemical Society’s weekly newsmagazine.
Broken Molecular Clock – In a paper that challenges the Darwinian model of evolution, University of Pittsburgh professor, Jeffrey H. Schwartz, contends that evolutionary changes occur suddenly as opposed to the Darwinian model of evolution, which is characterized by gradual and constant change. Schwartz’s paper, “Do Molecular Clocks Run at All? A Critique of Molecular Systematics,” appears in the journal Biological Theory.
Time to Abandon Darwin’s Tree of Life – W. Ford Doolittle and Eric Bapteste from the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Dalhousie University in Canada published a discussion paper suggesting its time to give up on Darwin’s Tree of Life illustration because it doesn’t fit the data.
