Over Chanukah, Thinking About “Botched Design”
You think I’m kidding but this line of reasoning is commonly heard from devotees of evangelizing atheism like Richard Dawkins.
Will Berlinski Demand Removal of Gilder Blurb From The Deniable Darwin?
Earlier this year George Gilder endorsed David Berlinski’s book The Deniable Darwin with this quote from the back cover: “David Berlinski is to science writing what Tiger Woods is to golf. He can score from anywhere, against any opponent, on any course.” Question is, will Berlinski follow in Accenture’s footsteps and dump the Tiger mention?
Santorum Compares Lack of Free Speech on Global Warming to Darwin Debate
Former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum has an article well worth reading in today’s Philadelphia Inquirer. Santorum compares the tactics of suppression used in the global warming debate to similar tactics used in the debate over Darwinism: Questioning the scientific consensus in pursuit of the truth is an important part of how science has advanced through the centuries. But what happens when the scientific consensus becomes an ideology that trumps the pursuit of truth?

Leading physicists in the American Physical Society Are Speaking Up for Scientific Integrity

It’s a powerful statement by leading physicists who are obviously furious about the ClimateGate fraud and about the impact it will have on science. Compare this statement to the cowardly and arrogant editorial in Nature and to the spinning of this transparent fraud by faux pro-science journalists and blogs. Note that the authors of the email have tried to get the APS management to withdraw the 2007 statement supporting global warming theory because it was based on the fraudulent science. They were unsuccessful, and the APS management has also Read More ›
Why Are Darwinists Scared to Read Signature in the Cell?
It’s somehow cheering to know that while the pompous know-nothingism of Darwinian atheists in the U.S. is matched by those in England, so too not only in our country but in theirs the screechy ignorance receives its appropriate reply from people with good sense and an open mind. Some of the latter include atheists who, however, arrived at their unbelief through honest reflection rather than through the mind-numbing route of fealty to Darwinist orthodoxy. Such a person is Thomas Nagel, the distinguished NYU philosopher. He praised Stephen Meyer’s Signature in the Cell: DNA and the Evidence for Intelligent Design in the Times Literary Supplement as a “book of the year,” concluding with this enviable endorsement: [A] detailed account of the Read More ›
