Actually, he's one of the major global warming skeptics. Problem is, this article is so bad it makes me worried that his anti-global-warming articles (although they are closer to his field) are equally loopy.
When the people over at the Discovery Institute talk about the "Intelligence" in ID, they aren't talking about Zeus.
This would be a little tough since intelligent design didn't appear until the '90's.
At least he doesn't believe in global warming.
Just gotta give you props for an excellent post.
I had exactly the same thought! :-)
Thank you for demonstrating that you don't understand ID in the least.
I understand ID very well. EITHER A) ID'er = God OR B) ID'er = Intelligent Aliens. Pick'em.
We agree on this much at least.
I personally go with A, but that's beside the point. You claimed that ID, as a theory, claims that every time a new species pops up, the Designer created it. Not so. There are certainly IDers who believe that, but that's not what the theory itself claims. Ergo, you don't know what you're talking about.
You claimed that ID, as a theory, claims that every time a new species pops up, the Designer created it.
So enlighten me. How does the ID "theory" explain how new species "pop up"?
Not sure it's worth it, but Ping.
That's what I've been thinking. If this is the go-to guy for global warming criticism, I'm investing inland.
Definitely not worth it. But thanks for pinging.
And so it was designed, by a rabid evolutionist, out of whole cloth. That "fossil" (which had been slathered all over school texts for at least half a century)was determined to be a fraud in 1975 (after it was finally given something like an authentic peer reveiw, some 75 plus years after the fact of its discovery, and that only by accident, as the authenticity wasn't in question at the time, merely whether or not the supposed reptile-bird transition was a good flier, or a poor one...)

Even Answers in Genesis doesn't buy that.
They want to believe it's a bird, but that's a side issue -- they admit it's not a fraud.
And btw, there are seven known specemins. Is there an Archaeopteryx factory out there somewhere?
Bullpuckey.
There are 7 separate Archaeopteryx fossils ; they're all entirely legitimate.
Yet another creationist falsehood. If anyone bothered to keep count, just from the whoppers you guys have told on FR, we'd be in the thousands.
They do, however, quote-mine Alan Feduccia, who goes on in his book to state that Archaeopteryx is the quintessential transitional form.
But then, if there wasn't a lie in it somewhere, how would you know it was AuthenticallyCreationistTM
Just another creationist strawmanification.
All from one single source, none ever having been found outside one small limestone quarry in Germany, during a certain timeframe, by one particular individual. The question of provenance alone casts legitimacy into serious doubt.
Then we get into the physiological aspects, which prompted the 1975 query. Try again...

They were found in six separate locations, by seven different individuals, over a period of over 100 years. Didn't you read the link I posted?
