And another thing. All these apologists of ID say that the designer is not known. Well that is odd. If you read their ‘wedge strategy’ penned by Philip Johnson, they are explicit in promoting the Christian God as the scientifically valid creator of the world. (this is odd because, according to gnostic writing at the time of baby Yesuah, the creator of our world was a lower diety and not a very good one (i.e. A stupid distant relative from the boondocks of the heavenly relm) whereas the God of baby Yesuah was from the higher relm of Barbalo (see Bart Erhman- The lost gospel of Judas Iscarriot(2008) and God’s Problem(2006)). So these badgery fcuks are trying to palm off a lower order defunct idiot creator into the school ciriccula instead of evolution. Quite odd, I think you will agree. Sorry for type-o’s but I am using a laptop and I have Homer Simpson Fingers.

Thankyou for that Marsh. If anyone really wants to see the way YEC is publicly demonstarted as ‘the only scientifically valid truth’ then look at some of Kent Hovind’s videos on YouTube (he is so insane). There is a featured episode on the Infidel Guy show where callers demolish Hovind’s YEC statements (especially a biochemist researching gene therapy form Northern Ireland).
There is an article in an edited book which I own called “Scientists Confront Intelliegnt Design and Creationism” Petto & Godfrey, eds 2007, WW Norton & Co, ISBN-13: 987-0-393-05090-5.. This edition covrs three major points of the ID and creationist debacle. Part one looks at ID and creationism with papers by Ronald Numbers, Eugeine Scott and John Cole. Part two deals with the Scientific Perspectives with a demolishion job of Dembski’s design proposal by none other than Victor Stenger (He was my work password last month-now that is sad) also featured among other scientists is a missive by G. Brent Darymple and another demolition of Dembski by Wesley Elesberry. The third part looks at understanding science featuring Robert Pennock on the ‘argument from ignorance’ and Norman Johnson on Evolution “Only a theory?”. This edition is n absolute must. I will bring it to the pub on 5th November for you all to stroke it. I hope tht Mike, Marsh and Colin have posted the links to FREE down loadable books on this topic from the National Academies Press website? Which, of course, they must have absitively done. (it is http://www.nap.edu. by the way guys. Free download on the arguments for and against teaching evolution by the National Academy of Scientists education board entitled “Science, Evolution and Creationsim” is a must. It can be downloaded FREE from the site as a PDF (it also has colour pictures in it) or read online – which ever you fancy. For some books you have to register and state which area you work in (always put education). There are a lot of good science and tchnology titles available (some free some very expensive-but worth a gander). If you sign up (like I do) you get e-mailed on new releases. I have used the site since 1999 and it has much improved-believe me. Get on-line and get reading SCIENCE!!!!!!!
Sorry what was this blog about? I seem to have gone off on one. Sorry.
