[edit] Career

Pearcey is editor-at-large of The Pearcey Report.

In September 2007 Pearcey was named Scholar for Worldview Studies at the Center for University Studies at Philadelphia Biblical University Langhorne Pennsylvania.[1]

[edit] Intelligent design

Pearcey is a senior fellow of the Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture the center of the intelligent design movement. Pearcey has played a role in a number of controversies surrounding the institute's campaign to challenge and ultimately unseat the teaching of evolution. Although Pearcey is now an intelligent design advocate she was previously a young-earth creationist.[2][3]

As a contributing editor for the young-earth creationist Bible-Science Newsletter from 1977-1991 Pearcey often wrote monthly articles. As a free-lance writer she also drafted an Overview chapter for the controversial pro-intelligent design schoolbook Of Pandas and People. She then adapted material from that chapter for three articles in the Bible-Science Newsletter. In the course of the Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District trial it was shown in testimony by Barbara Forrest that the draft Overview chapter of Of Pandas and People was subsequently edited to show the same changes from "creation/creationist" to "intelligent design/design proponent" that the six "excursion" chapters Of Pandas and People show. The substitution of patently creationist language in favor of putatively neutral intelligent design language in Of Pandas and People figured significantly in the judge's ruling that intelligent design is religious in nature and not actual science.[4]

Pearcey contributed the foreword to The Right Questions as well as chapters in Mere Creation Pro-Life Feminism Genetic Ethics Signs of Intelligence Reading God's World Uncommon Dissent and a Phillip E. Johnson Festschrift titled "Darwin's Nemesis". Pearcey has served as a visiting scholar at Biola University's Torrey Honors Institute an editorial board member for the evangelical Christian Salem Communications Network and a commentator on Public Square Radio a conservative Christian radio program. Her articles have appeared in numerous religious and politically conservative-leaning journals and magazines including the Washington Times Human Events First Things Books & Culture World Pro Rege Human Life Review The American Enterprise The World & I Homeschool Enrichment Christianity Today and the Regent University Law Review.[citation needed]

Pearcey is a frequent public lecturer and has appeared on NPR and C-SPAN.[citation needed]

Charles Thaxton

From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation search

Charles B. Thaxton is a Fellow of the Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture. He has a doctorate in physical chemistry from Iowa State University. He went on to complete post-doctorate programs in the history of science at Harvard University and the molecular biology laboratories of Brandeis University. Thaxton has co-authored several books including The Mystery of Life's Origin and The Soul of Science.[1] In The Mystery of Life's Origin Thaxton argues for "Special Creation by a Creator beyond the Cosmos" and asserts that Special Creation holds "that the source that produced life was intelligent".[2]

He was the editor of the first edition of the controversial creationism/Intelligent Design textbook Of Pandas and People.[1] The book was featured prominently in Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District and the sequence of drafts that show the transition between the terms "creation" and "creator" to "design" "designer" and "intelligent design" proved important in the judge's decision.[3]

Thaxton was impressed by chemist and philosopher Michael Polanyi’s argument that the information in DNA could not be reduced to physics and chemistry. Something more was needed. Thaxton later said that he preferred intelligent design to creationism because he "wasn’t comfortable with the typical vocabulary that for the most part creationists were using because it didn’t express what I was trying to do. They were wanting to bring God into the discussion and I was wanting to stay within the empirical domain and do what you can do legitimately there."[4]
