Lewis Wolpert notes

Another guy that was one of the ones who supported intelligent design is Lewis Wolpert. He was born with a South-African Jewish family and actually born in America. He was a very intelligent person that went to University of Witwatersrand (BSs), Imperial College London, and even King’s College London (PhD). What he becomes after his colleges is an Emeritus Professor of Biology, developmental biologist, author, and broadcaster. He is recognized for elaborating ideas of positional information and value. He also discovered Hox gene codes in flies and vertebrates has largely vindicated Wolpert's positional-value concept, while identification of growth-factor morphogens in many species has supported the concept of positional information.“I would teach the world that science is the best way to understand the world, and that for any set of observations, there is only one correct explanation. Also, science is value-free, as it explains the world as it is. Ethical issues arise only when science is applied to technology – from medicine to industry." was one of his famous quotes. He intended audience of his book was the general public. He said he thought the general public needed to understand that people are a society of cells, particularly if they wanted to understand humans. Wolpert also believes that one very important and so far unsolved question in cellular research is the origins and evolution of the first cell, as well as the question of cell behavior, which in his opinion would be useful for the study of illnesses such as cancer or Alzheimer's. Wolpert has debated Christian philosopher William Lane Craig about the existence of God. In the late 1960s Wolpert proposed the illustrative French flag model, which explains how signaling between cells early in morphogenesis could be used to inform cells with the same genetic regulatory network of their position and role. On 15 January 2004, Wolpert and biologist/parapsychologist Rupert Sheldrakeengaged in a live debate regarding the evidence for telepathy. It took place at the Royal Society of Arts in London. He also was vice-president of the British Humanist Association. His wife was an Australian writer and critic, Jill Neville. He is working on a book exploring the evolution of sex and gender in humans, to be published later this year. He explains that the brains of men and women are largely similar but their relative differences influence specific behavior in each.
