He does make some good points on consistency in the standard of proof.

Thanks for the heads up!

The objective scientific principle of a search for the truth is replaced by the subjective aesthetic principle of a well-constructed story. Ain't it the truth?

many expect ID to adhere to a much higher standard, Doubtless! This article illustrates why guys like Dini want to discriminate against creationists: evos can't win the debate so they seek to suppress debaters.

The objective scientific principle of a search for the truth is replaced by the subjective aesthetic principle of a well-constructed story. Not just a story, but a narrative ( - - the research into the prebiotic soup theory of the origin of life aims "to construct a coherent narrative." ). Narrative is starting to become one of my least favorite words.

"They have . . .
lost (( link ))---a big one."
"They're like Napoleon's army in Moscow. They have occupied a lot of territory, and they think they've won the war. And yet they are very exposed in a hostile climate with a population that's very much unfriendly."
"That's the case with the Darwinists in the United States. The majority of the people are skeptical of the theory. And if the theory starts to waver a bit, it could all collapse, as Napoleon's army did in a rout."

The writing is on the wall and it's just a matter of time for the final collapse of evolution to occur.

Just calling evolution a theory is an overstatement . . .
only an idea // mood // feeling - - -
an ideology === perverse oddity ! ! !

Conjecture masquarading as science might be more appropos - I agree.

Indeed, it is very, very troubling to me when our thoughts become targets. Dini wants no creationists to become physicians.

Looks like they're afraid of this one! LOL!

Silliness, primarily for conflating abiogenesis with evolutionary theory, and pretending that since ID offers a valid possible explanation for biogenesis - which it certainly does - it is also an acceptable substitute for evolutionary theory. Flawed premise, flawed conclusion.

The article is another in a series of creationist dumps we've seen lately. It comes from an "Intelligent Design" website:
TeleoLogic. Go take a look. It's maybe a step or two above
TIME CUBE .

What a crock of stewed prunes. If these ignorant, anti-science idiots could understand the concept of feedback, they might actually change or improve their arguments from time to time. But then they wouldn't be such boobs in the first place.
I suspect that in their next life, they'll be the baby seals getting clubbed before their coats turn.
