Why do you insist on calling my faith a bad joke?

Comedians with poor educations. I guess they went to journalism schools. The evolution debate is much moire complicated and goes back father than the Scopes trial. I doubt that many people have even heard about the Wilberforce-Huxley debate, but the following lecture really puts things into perspective.

Why, in discussions about ID, is the a discussion about the designer off limits? It's fine, in Behe's estimation, to infer design from that which is irreducibly complex, but there is a firm refusal to discuss the nature of the designer. Why do you think that is?

I would be extremely interested in a good argument as to why we can infer design but not discuss the designer.

Such behavior has long been the modus operandi of evols. . .that a attempts to berate those who don't agree with their views.

I concur - their tactics are very telling.

I wonder if the Deans of evolution have realized that they have lost control?

Or perhaps they too think that ridicule is an effective difense.
