NOTA DESTE BLOGGER:
E ainda dizem que design 'impede o avanço da ciência', que é pseudo-ciência, que o design na natureza é ilusão, y otras cositas mais. Embora este grupo não esteja ligado ao movimento do Design Inteligente, uma conferência dessas só fortalece nossas posições teóricas: o design é real e é empiricamente detectado na natureza.
Fui, pensando, acho que a torre de Pisa vai se render ao Design Inteligente...
