The Wedge Strategy is a roadmap for a dishonest plan to push religion in the guise of science, with the ultimate goal to replace science "with a science consonant with Christian and theistic convictions." The only way to do that is to destroy science as it has been practiced for a couple of centuries. In fulfilling this goal, a theocracy would be the ideal mechanism. These are a couple of the reasons that the Wedge Strategy, and the anti-science fundamentalism behind it, are "particularly ominous" to me.
Whether you choose to recognise it or not, evoution is a key driving point in the assault on religion that is taking place in our culture and in our schools.
It is absolutley critical for the people of God to address this assault on the same plain and w/ the same language, that is the language of science. Naturally this is not a simple thing in as much as religion is primarily metaphysical in nature.
You can rest assured though that the Truth will win in the end, I know I am.
You are assuming that the theory of evolution is not true.
Nonsense. For your benefit I went back and reread it. No where does it proport to replace actual science w/ fake science. The strategy outlined is against "scientific materialism", not science. The two are not synonomous. I saw nothing there about destroying science.
The intention is to use the scientific method to defeat those advocates of a materialistic only understanding of our universe. Obviously there are cultural elements to the plan, but the establishment of a theocracy? If you believe that any serious person in the Christian community is trying to create a theocracy your tinfoil hat's on too tight.
Concerning whether evolution is true/not true I'm assuming nothing of the kind. But I'm not afraid of evolution if that's your point. I just don't want to see it used as a lever against religious faith, and let me point out that the acadamy's acquiesence in allowing it to be used in that fashion will reverberate badly for the academay. Its a bastradization of science.
Coyote- enough with hte ‘wedge theory”- the wedge theory is NOT ID- comprende? ID has nothign to do with ‘pushing religion’ anyone with half an ounce of intellectual honesty knows this fact- Tell me something Coyote- Is Behe ‘pushing religion’? Demski? No- they investigate design- period- Are the agnostic scientists who study design pushing religion? No- So enough with the silly accusations
[[The only way to do that is to destroy science as it has been practiced for a couple of centuries.]
A bunch of bull- Evidently you aren’t aware of the sceince of ID to be making silly little statements like that
