An evolved form of creationism

Considering Louisiana schools' low performance on national tests, which makes California look not so bad by comparison, you'd think legislators would be worrying about getting these kids ready for jobs and college instead of monkeying around with science instruction.

Book Review: Darwinism and the Linguistic Image

(Another review that was published a few years back, in this case in Isis in 2001 . Alter's book is still in print and still worth reading.) Charles Darwin's Origin of Species was written in a vivid style and, as such, is frequently studied as much as literature as scientific text. Particularly notable is Darwin's use of analogy and metaphor. In the work under review, Stephen G. Alter focuses on two...

Islamist and christian creationism alliance: DI terrorism?

I initially read this about 10 days ago on one of the conservative blogs I read along with the progressive ones: littlegreenfootballs . LGF being what it is, I noted it and waited to hear more about it from other sources. In his post , Charles had quoted from Reuters : Edis doubted the rumors of funds from U.S. creationists, saying: “American creationists I talk to basically envy Harun Yahya’s financial...

Sneaking *Intelligent Design* Into Schools Via *Academic Freedom*

The idea of trying to sneak religious theory into schools via *intelligent design* aka creationism was smacked down in the Dover PA lawsuit which decidely was against doing this. Did that stop the religious right who wants to be able to add religious thought to public schools? Nope.

It Was 83 Years Ago This Week…

This week marks 83 years since a jury in tiny Dayton, Tennessee convicted and fined $100 a teacher by the name of John T. Scopes, a man who had the courage and determination of spirit to challenge a state law forbidding the teaching of Darwin’s theory of evolution. The ACLU (yes we were even causing trouble all the way back then) put out an offer in a Chattanooga newspaper to defend a teacher who was...

Sweet Mother Lortab

Judging by the mental feebleness of some of the regular commenters here at New West, I'm guessing that a few of you are believers in so-called intelligent design, so can one of you please explain to me what is so intelligent about the human neck? I ask because I've apparently caused grievous injury to mine with nothing more than pillows, which seems indicative of the kind of bug that never should have...

Riz Khan Discusses Darwin’s Legacy With D’Souza & Dawkins [All Spin Zone]

I think the bickering over the theories of evolution, creationism, and intelligent design is actually a symptom of the larger issue confronting us fully flawed humans. The bottom line - our capacity to contemplate our mortality leads us to desperately seek the meaning of our existence.

On Steve Fuller

Over at Crooked Timber they are discussing a review of Steve Fuller's latest expectoration Dissent Over Descent: Intelligent Design's Challenge to Darwinism. As the review notes: The book is an epoch-hopping parade of straw men, incompetent reasoning and outright gibberish, as when evolution is argued to share with astrology a commitment to "action at a distance", except that the distance is in time...

Stanley Salthe on Neo-Darwinism

Sans Salthe on Neo-Darwinism I am a critic of Darwinian evolutionary theory — which was my own erstwhile field of specialization in biology. My opposition is fundamentally to its sole reliance on competition as an explanatory principle (in a background of chance). Aside from being a bit thin in the face of complex systems, it has [...]
