In many discussions across the blogoshere about the existence of God or supernatural entities, the claim is often made that there’s no reason to think that such things exist because there simply is “no evidence”. Those who do think such entities exist are either “delusional” a la Richard Dawkins, or holding such beliefs “without evidence”. [...]

Its All About the Evidence…Evidently!

Intellectually Fulfilled Theism
May 19th, 2007 | by derudo | published in Atheism, Darwinism, Intelligent Design, Theology | 1 Comment »
Isn’t it interesting that 19th century (the great “death of God” era) Darwinian “science” made it possible for Dawkins to become an intellectually fulfilled atheist, but that late 20th century science has made faith and theism more rational and reasonable than ever before in human history (in my opinion)? It’s an interesting turn of events. [...]
ID, Darwinism, and Divine/Fallen Human Uniqueness
April 13th, 2007 | by derudo | published in Atheism, Darwinism, Intelligent Design, Theology | 50 Comments »
Dear Teleological Folks, I posted the following over at UncommonDescent.com but it is undoubtedly long lost in the comments. I thought it might be of interest here. As some of you may know, I used to be a militant, Dawkins-style atheist. All that changed in 1994 after I bought my five-year-old daughter a cartoon video [...]
Philosophy First Science

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 [...]
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 [...]

Doubt and Certainty
August 4th, 2006 | by teleologist | published in Philosophy, Theology | 1 Comment »
In light of some of our recent discussions, I thought this is interesting. Alister McGrath Doubt and the Vain Search for Certainty 2006 –Å“ Summer We cannot see God; we cannot touch him; we cannot demand that he give a public demonstration of his existence or character. We know of God only through faith. Yet [...]
Keith Miller on Evolutionary Theory And Continuous Creation
June 24th, 2006 | by teleologist | published in Darwinism, Evolution, Theology | Leave A Comment »
Mike Gene makes a good argument against Keith Miller’s article Evolutionary Theory And Continuous Creation. However, I think the argument against Miller’s thesis is much simpler than that. But before I get into my rebuttal, am I the only one who is noticing the TE are on the rise to bash ID? You have people [...]
Why Is AiG So Much More Holier than Thou?

Denyse O’Leary just posted on some YEC’s criticism of ID. Well, having had first hand experience with the strident attack from young earth creationists, I can say their criticism toward ID is mild by comparison. I wonder if the strident attack that YEC have toward other Biblical Creationists is not due to an inferiority complex. [...]
Christianity and ID
June 19th, 2006 | by teleologist | published in Intelligent Design, Theology | 2 Comments »
I will make my comment to Krauze’s post here. I think between the YEC and TE, there is a spectrum of Christian positions on ID. Hugh Ross is a OEC with progressive underpinnings. There are also those who are OEC that does not subscribe to progressive creation. Where we stand in that spectrum is less [...]
