| | Intelligent Design? A Special Report from Natural History Magazine |
 | | If Behe wishes to suggest that the intricacies of nature, life, and the universe reveal a world of meaning and purpose consistent with a divine intelligence, his point is philosophical, not scientific. | | | The argument from design, as it is known, prevailed as an explanation of the natural world until the publication of the Origin of Species in 1859. | | | One may, of course, retain religious faith in a designer who transcends natural processes, but there is no way to dust for his fingerprints. |

| | Natural history of Wildfowl Waterfowl Ducks Geese |
| | One unusual but very important feature of the natural history of wildfowl is the manner in which they moult their plumage. | | | Most other families of birds undergo a gradual moult during which the flight feathers are shed and replaced gradually over a protracted period. | | | This characteristic tends to be slightly less striking in the diving duck and even less so in the sea duck species but, nevertheless, it is not difficult to tell the sex of adult birds during the winter and spring. |
