Welcome!
Welcome to the weblog of the Intelligent Design Evolution Awareness Club (IDEA) at Cornell University! This is an experiment, so we’ll see how the next month goes and may go offline at any time without notice. If we do and you’re annoyed, email us (idea@cornell.edu) and tell us why it matters.
We don’t promise anything– in particular, we don’t promise (or anticipate providing) any sort of continuous stream of articles and reading material. We’re all busy students with more than enough to do keeping up with homeworks, lab reports, research and exams; and we don’t intend to write anything just for the sake of updating frequently.
This blog is not a battle ground– come to our meetings for that! and not political in any way, shape or form. Though at times we may discuss court cases or school board decisions related to the current controversies, the focus here is the science of intelligent design and evolution, and new research and insights into both.
Please feel free to leave comments and tell us what you think; we like to hear from both sides of the issue, and the only requirement is basic civility and no ad hominem attacks. If you are a member of IDEA Cornell and would like to become a contributor, talk to one of the officers or email idea@cornell.edu and we’ll help you get started.

Dear TDP,
Occasionally I run into information that is very interesting but does not have a place on my website, but I would love to submit it to your blog. Perhaps we could arrange a shared authorship, ie I email you posts and you publish what you like. Please let me know what you think.
Kind regards,
Joseph C. Campana
