Reclaiming 'design' from the creationists

Prof Ken Miller is on the front line of the clash of ideas between Darwinism and Intelligent Design in the US. He was the star witness on the evolution side in the seminal Dover, Pennsylvania court case over the teaching of ID in science lessons.

He was speaking at the American Association for the Advancement of Science annual meeting in Boston on Sunday about how evolutionists can be more effective at convincing the American public to back them. Opinion polls consistently show that a majority of Americans reject evolution by natural selection.

You can read my Comment is Free blog on the talk here, and you can listen to my Science Extra podcast interview with Miller.
