Welcome to hendrik.blogsome.com, a weblog (of a sort) that I hope will be helpful to readers who wish to get some clarity on a few of my articles. Below is my article “There’s an Intelligent Defence of Intelligent Design” which appeared late August (2005) in the Kitchener-Waterloo newspaper The Record, and which prompted a flurry of criticisms from several readers. My reply to the criticisms follows. Following my reply is my article “Who Designs the Designer?” (which is one of Richard Dawkins’ objections to Intelligent Design). Please take your time to read my original article, replies, and subsequent article. Ultimately, my view is that intelligent people can reasonably believe in Intelligent Design.

For more on Intelligent Design, I recommend the links to Access Research Network and to the Discovery Institute’s Center for Science & Culture.

For a look at my November 14, 2005, Record article, in which I discuss Simon Singh’s “rule” against Intelligent Design, click on the link “Simon Singh, Big Bang, and Intelligent Design.” (If you scroll to the end of this article, you can find comments from my Record critics plus my replies.)

For my thoughts on Wired magazine’s November 2006 cover article “The New Atheism,” click on “The New Atheism.”

If you click on the link “Did the Easter miracle happen?” you can read my award-winning article by the same name, published in The Record in April of 2004.

Comments are welcome (but if they lack civility, I will simply delete them).

With best regards,
Hendrik van der Breggen
