“It’s not the years in your life, but the life in your years,” was among president Abraham Lincoln’s most profound quotes. It immediately comes to mind when thinking about Phil Coyne. Not because Coyne’s life has been short on years, but because he’s fit so much life, so much passion and so many experiences that would make any baseball fan jealous into his now 99 years on earth. For 81 years, Coyne has led fans to their seats at baseball games in Pittsburgh. He started at Forbes Field as an 18-year-old back in 1936. He moved with the team to...

Jerry Coyne Challenges Francis Collins on Metaphysics Michael Egnor April 5, 2015 3:15 AM | Permalink National Institutes of Health director Francis Collins, who is a devout Christian, did an interview recently with National Geographic about his faith and his science.

...Embarrassed Darwinists The next for consideration is Jonathan Wells and his Icons of Evolution. A stinging critique of ten familiar textbook evidences for evolution, Wells’ book provoked shrill cries of dismay from Darwinists, including Jerry Coyne and Eugenie Scott. Wells’ reply is highlighted as a rhetorically powerful rebuttal in which he catches his critics in scientific carelessness and in the debate tactic of ‘shifting the goalposts’. An example is the issue of embryonic homology—the Darwinian claim that embryos in various vertebrates look alike at various stages of development, and that this indicates common ancestry. Wells pointed out the extensive dissimilarities...

Empires don't go home Andrew Coyne National Post As every schoolchild knows, this month marks the 186th anniversary of the signing of the Rush-Bagot Treaty, an event of monumental importance to every Canadian as it is all that stands between us and an American invasion. Those of you no longer of school age will nonetheless instantly recall that the treaty demilitarized the Canada-U.S. border after the War of 1812: each side was limited to no more than four warships on the Great Lakes, none to exceed 100 tons. And so it remains to this day, an inspiring example of the...
