Scientific evidence that may demonstrate irreducible complexity - that is the new concept.
Natural theology is a concept of theology (thus the name). ID has nothing to do with theology. Natural theology goes back much further than 1802 and Paley's book - Thomas Aquinas was big into this concept 600 years earlier.
Natural theology are arguments based on a deity. There is no deity in ID - other groups with theology as their root embrace ID in their effort to support the concept of deity but ID does not contain a deity - just evidence of design rather than evolution. If someone claims the "designer" of the irreducible complexity is God - that is their trip, but it not part of ID.
What do you mean, "crazy?" Just a minor glitch in the heartless process of natural selection, etc. Just the "laws of nature" at work. Onward and upward, you know.
Karl Giberson also states that, "Behe is right, of course, that there are many such complex things in nature that evolution cannot presently explain."
I agree with that statement wholeheartedly. It's true on its face. Doesn't mean that we have to leap to supernatural conclusions.
The standard seems much higher when it is the other way around.
You might want to have that persecution complex checked out. Stop it before it spreads. ;-)
500 years from now when some hapless paleontologist unearths his bones the "scientific" conclusion will be this fellow dined on a few too many corn nuts.
You despicable excuse for a human being.
How many posts before some creationists defends these guys?
Fester's gloating already. DSC just a week ago advocated doing what these guys did.
Professor, who possesses a cell phone decides to pull over and park to let a tailgater by. Said tailgater parks behind said Professor. The wise professor instead of driving off and using cell phone to report tailgater decides for whatever reason to chat with the exhaust sniffing sportsman. I'd rather not believe it happened than to accept the the story and realize that this person teaches at a university level.
Hehe. You wouldn't happen to be wearing a red baseball cap and wool gloves, would you?
Not now.
Hmmmmm
Over use of "s" in the present tense; one and only one should be used.
I live in rural Nebraska. If a couple of guys were tailigating me, I would probably pull over, and might well get out to ask them what was up. This is not the kind of place you expect to have stragners attack you.
I didn't read far enough. Not one creationist will criticize this either.
You might want to have that persecution complex checked out.
Like natural selection and random mutations, it can happen anywhere, anytime.
About as many creationists as criticized the repeated lies and perjury of the Dover school board, I'll wager.
We know from that they apparently don't consider lying to infidels to be a problem, how do they feel about advance their agenda through the use of fists?
No. I "blamed" him for being stupid if it is true. If the guys were in a police car with lights and that happened, he wouldn't have been stupid just beaten up. If it is true the guys need to be punished to the full extent of the law. It is just that Denmark comes to mind.
Well, thanks for the offer, Wolf, but I can take care of myself. I'm no liberal, and I'm a big fan of the second amendment.
I would advise against that even in Amish country. A tailgating buggy is up to no good.(or you are going d*mn slow)
