As for the creds of Behe’s claims, there was the evolutionary biologist, Tom-Cavalier-Smith, and Yale molecular biologist, Robert Dorit. They both agreed [grudgingly] that Behe had a point. I guess they’re both ‘too dumb to understand evolution’ too.
Jerry Coyne is another one. He’s an evolutionary biologist [University of Chicago]. He said, “There is no doubt that the pathways described by Behe are dauntingly complex, and their evolution will be hard to unravel ... [W]e may forever be unable to envisage the first proto-pathways.”
Yep, I guess he’s ‘too dumb to understand evolution’ although he believes in it and describes intelligent design as ‘nuts’.
Here’s a fellow who isn’t too dumb to believe in evolution, but he admits that he’s too dumb to refute Behe— Robert Pennock [evolutionist]. “I have not addressed the biochemical details of his real examples, but as we have noted, the evidence is not yet in on those questions.”
Coulter writes: “The evidence isn’t in? According to Behe, many of the biochemical systems he cited ‘have been well understood for 40 years’.”
There are others Coulter quotes in ‘Godless’, authorities who shook up the Evolutionists. I’ll get to them another day. But clearly, it’s not DUMB to question evolution. I’m not convinced what our origin is myself. I’ve reached a point in my life to know enough to know that no one really knows. And frankly, I don’t care. Therefore — FREEDOM!
There are Amish children who believe the earth is flat, and the odds are that most of them will turn out better than most of the kids in Detroit. Most of them will turn out better than your average politician.
God willing, when I have kids of my own, they won’t be raised like the Amish, nor will they be educated in public schools. I don’t want kids until I can afford to have them educated properly. And there’s a very real possibility that my line could end when I die [mostly due to my prioritizing but ... ] thanks in large part to the high taxes needed to indoctrinate children in public schools. I suppose that some evolutionists will be very happy to know that there might not be an Arthur March Junior around to torture them.
Let me see.... Amish children who are raised to be financially independent, work hard, not take handouts from the government, help their neighbors in need, forgive their enemies (like when he shoots up a school house full of girls who he planned on torturing and raping),....
So what if they believe the earth is flat?
I'd rather have them as neighbors than your average public school educated evolution believing thug.
Gee, he has his *scientific* beliefs right. At least we don't have to worry about him putting us back in the Dark Ages or establishing that dreaded theocracy...
Behe is a godless evolutionist that believes we should teach our school children that the Intelligent Designer is dead.
Behe believes that man evolved over hundreds of millions of years from simple organisms (common descent).
I guess posting on FR is more important to you than children.
