Official announcement of my joining the Discovery Institute's Center for Science & Culture as new Senior Fellow Evolution News Febr. 10 2017.

Announcement of my former employer Natural History Museum Stuttgart as "winner" of the Censor of the Year Award 2017: Evolution News Febr. 12 2017.

Notorious anti-ID activist Jerry Coyne is lamenting on his Why Evolution is True blog that "Damn! I did not win Censor of the Year again" (February 12, 2017), and rating against me with the usual mean-spirited falsehoods (e.g., that I deserved to loose my job because I did "promulgate discredited ideas as part of my job as a scientist at a public institution", which of course is factually incorrect and irresponsibly uninformed).

This article "Munchausen Syndrome: Perry Marshall Debates Stephen Meyer on the “Third Way” of Evolution" on Discovery Institute's site Evolution News  (Febr. 23, 2017) also features my critical comments about Perry Marshall's Evolution 2.0.

Article "Research on Ancient DNA Could Test Predictions of Non-Darwinian Speciation Models" on Discovery Institute's site Evolution News  from March 16, 2017.

Blog post "When a Secular Palaeoentomologist (and the Spokesman for the Darwin Museum Exhibit) Began Reading Intelligent Design Literature" by Justin Taylor at The Gospel Coalition (April 17, 2017).

Article "What can happen when a paleontologist actually reads ID theorists" posted at Uncommon Descent on April 23, 2017.

Article "German Paleontologist ‘mistakenly’ reads book on Intelligent Design" at the blog The Truth of Judgement Day (May 20, 2017).

Article by Karsten Pultz about me in the Danish Christian newspaper Udfordringen (online June 30, 2017; print July 2, 2017).

This video is also featured on theGerman website "begründet glauben" by IGUW.

Article "Fossil Footprints from Crete Deepen Controversy on Human Origins" on Discovery Institute's site Evolution News  from September 6, 2017. With more than 4.300 Likes this seems to be the most popular posting ever on EN.

Bill Needle responds at Marmotism with "Bechly Belches!" showing his mastery of rude gutter language combined with a lack of clear thinking and any expertise.

Article "With Two New Fossils, Evolutionists Rewrite Narratives to Accommodate Conflicting Evidence" on Discovery Institute's site Evolution News  from September 13, 2017.

Article "Darwin’s Point: No Evidence for Common Ancestry of Humans with Monkeys" on Discovery Institute's Evolution News from September 27, 2017.

Master of gutter language Bill Needle again responds at Marmotism with "Gunter's Creationist Gaffes!", nicely exposing his poor reading comprehension as well as his incompetence in evolutionary biology and phylogenetics.

Article by the German organization Obrist-Impulse (October 5, 2017) "Vom atheistischen Wissenschaftler zum Evolutionskritiker" about the video interview, in which I tell my personal story from atheist and Neodarwinist  to Intelligent Design proponent and theist.

The English Wikipedia deletes the page about me on October 6, 2017, after a very polemic discussion. An archived version of my page is available at Deletionpedia.

Discovery Institute's site Evolution News reports "Wikipedia Erases Paleontologist Günter Bechly" on October 10, 2017, and also reports on October 11 about the highly dubious application of notability criteria in this case "How “Notable” Do You Really Have to Be to Merit a Wikipedia Entry?". This story made into national news reports like CISION PR Newswire (Oct. 25, 2017) and even international newspapers like Israel's Haaretz (Nov. 17, 2017) (PDF), and lead to protests by other scientists.

The anonymous coward behind The Sensuous Curmudgeon blog comments "BWAHAHAHAHAHA! It’s a cruel world!" in his posting "Discoveroid Günter Bechly Has Been ‘Erased’" from October 10, 2017.

To the honest credit of Panda's Thumb author Matt Young, he acknowledges in his article "Creationist's Wikipedia page removed" (Nov. 18, 2017) my scientific notability as well as my ID activities being the probable true reasons for Wikipedia deleting my page.

Article "Human Origins: Out of Africa, or Out of Germany?" on Discovery Institute's site Evolution News from October 23, 2017.

Again the Sensuous Curmudgeon seems to be obsessed with my postings, and comments intelligently as usual "[*Begin Drool Mode*]  Ooooooooooooh! [*End Drool Mode*]" in his blog posting "Günter Bechly: Evolution is Collapsing" from October 23, 2017. He also proves to be intellectually unable to properly use the Internet by incorrectly remarking that a page of my website is missing, only because the order of my site changed slightly with the last update. Apparently, this is way too confusing for his (self-identified) monkey brain. Likewise my treasured master of gutter language Bill Needle could not resist at Marmotism to author this piece of beautiful prose ("More Bechly Belching!") in response.

My story is featured with the headline "Marginalized, Shown The Door" on the Free Science website on November 11, 2017.

Article "What, Another “Rewrite” of the Human Origins Story? How About a Rethink, Instead?" on Discovery Institute's site Evolution News from November 20, 2017 about a new study on the Dali cranium from the Pleistocene of China.

Article "Pro-Darwinists destroy scientist's career after he turns to God-based evolution theory" by Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz at BreakingIsraelNews (Nov. 29, 2017).

Article "“It’s Official”: Textbook Wisdom on Human Origins Is Wrong!" on Discovery Institute's site Evolution News from December 12, 2017, discussing a new study that provides the final blow against  the common Out of Africa narrative.

Bill Needle could not resist to respond the same day on his Marmotism blog with "Discovery Institute Hack vs Darwinist Bulldog!" (Dec. 12, 2017). I wonder if this guy is real or an under cover creationist, who tries to disgrace Darwinists by playing a boorish fanatic.

David Klinghoffer elaborates on a Facebook comment of mine in his article "Are Scientists Smarter Now, or Dumber?" at Evolution News (Dec. 16, 2017).

A manuscript with description of a new fossil dragonfly species named in honor of famous ID proponent has been submitted to BIO-Complexity on December 17, 2017.
