HORRORS! It's the end of civilization as we know it.

raising concerns with some academics that the biblical story of creation will be given equal weight to Darwin’s theory of evolution.

Both are based on faith, so why not?

The simplistic (yes, I said simplistic) designs (sic) of Evolution will soon run into the inherent evidences for Design. It was bound too happen.

The only reason it took so long is the stiff-necked stubborness of some Athiestic Humanistic people to shoehorn God out of their lives and to keep Him on the periphery of nuttiness. God and science can and must co-exist. Science and naturalism is a paradox which could never be sustained.

fyi. Creationism pinglist ping.

“The scientific establishment prevents dissenting views,” says Professor Steve Fuller, Professor of Sociology at the University of Warwick. “I have a lot of respect for those who have true scientific credentials and are upfront about their views.”

Note that the article quotes a *sociology* professor in order to demonstrate some level of concernt that science isn't open to diverging views. This sociologist, and the author, simply do not understand that science isn't simply about competing views. In science, you can have a view or opinion, but without credible research, it isn't science. And science is open do diverging views, put it happens to be at the forefront of out knowledge where we are still learning and trying to understand new things. Until the research is done, those competing views vie for attention in order to ger research projects off the ground. Only after the work has been done can our understanding be aligned with one particular view.

People can have whatever scientific views they want, but that doesn't mean nature agrees. That's the final arbitratory.

Aren't you the one caught plagiarizing Dembski's stupid article?

[nmh]

Oh no!

Just what are the godless artists going to do?

Commit harry-carry?

Those evolutionists must be so distraught!

Imagine people not buying into their ridiculous fairy tale!

The dumbing down of America continues.

[curiosity]

Seems like a waste of time.

But there’s a twist: lecturers will present the controversial theories as being incompatible with scientific evidence. “It is essential they (students) understand the historical context and the flaws in the arguments these groups put forward,” says Michael McPherson, of Leeds University.

I think more universities should do this. Finally they are going to "teach the controversy!" by critically analyzing evolution, creationism and ID.

I bet the professional victims at the Discovery Institute will issue a press release by this time tomorrow, whining, moaning and gnashing their teeth about these lectures.
