Sal’s recent OP about setting up a YC discussion blog got me thinking about the influence and role that philosophical presuppositions play in how one views science and scientific findings, or even in how one defines what science is. As I follow discussion after discussion on various blogsites regarding YEC v OEC v Naturalism, it [...]

Gentleman, Because I sense interest in the topic, I’m thinking of forming a YEC/ID weblog. Although I’ll continue to post at UD, my threads are being bumped off the forefront as time passes, unlike ARN and ISCID where a topic can be visited and discussed for months!!!! Furthermore, we’ll organize the information and discussion hierarchically [...]

Richard Dawkins Gives Humility Lessons
February 14th, 2007 | by donaldm | published in Atheism, Humor, Theology | 3 Comments »
In a howling funny ironic letter to the editor of the London Times our favorite foil Richard Dawkins tries to commit humility while accusing theologian Alistari McGrath of hubris and dogamtism. After picking myself up off the floor where I was rolling in laughter, I thought I’d share this little tid-bit with you all here [...]
Nested Hieararchy
February 12th, 2007 | by teleologist | published in Darwinism | 60 Comments »
This has been a Darwinian red herring for a long time. As with any fairy tales, a cult following has been formed around some mythical characters — in this case, it is the Nested Hierarchy (NH). The Darwinian evolutionists claim that by arranging all the extant and extinct species with their fossils or partial fossils [...]

ID, Evolution and the Super Bowl
February 5th, 2007 | by donaldm | published in Education, Humor | 2 Comments »
Observing last night’s Super Bowl XLI, it seems to me that one could argue that Peyton Manning posesses all the qualities one might expect from an intelligently designed quarterback. Indeed, his level of play has all the hallmarks of specified complexity we routinely associate with design. Rex Grossman, on the other hand, seems to be [...]

As if we needed any more evidence of just how disingenuous Richard Dawkins is, check out this little tidbit I got from a friend of mine. Richard Dawkins: 4 December 2006 Richard Dawkins You Ask The Questions Question: Why have you not engaged in public debate with Alister McGrath, Mary Midgley, Michael Ruse, Keith Ward, [...]
