I would just like to point out one error of your argument. It’s not everything coming undone, but I think it’s pretty good.

“Fundamentalists, creationists, are exactly the opposite: they read the Bible, assume it’s inerrant, and discard every explanation and every observation that disagrees. They can tolerate nothing that disagrees with their preconception of how the Universe ought to behave. That isn’t a good way to learn about the Universe. It’s madness.”

Atheists have no explanation for why the Bible seems to have a certain degree of scientific accuracy that would be impossible for the times it was written, and as historical accuracy to prove it’s authenticity. Just take a look at some of the Biblical scientific insights and you’ll see what I mean.

I’ve got one quick example before I go. There’s a verse somewhere in Isaiah that says the sun travels in a circuit in the sky. 3-4 thousand years later we find out that we live in a spiral galaxy, so sun actually does travel in a circuit.

[...] and he’s perhaps the least qualified guy on the planet to head a BoE. He’s a creationist. He thinks science is evil. The list of his disqualifications to be in charge of a BoE would be so big… well, it would be [...]

The words as you wrote, “Take, for example, ghosts: if they are real, then they are part of the natural order of things… So there cannot be anything supernatural: if something exists, it is part of nature.” make it perfectly clear that anything at all that can be said to exist MUST exist in the natural order of things. They MUST be explainable and and at least theoretically verifiable by natural sciences or they cannot be said to exist. Thank you for the simplest and clearest words to explain this simple idea.

you have to admit on reading his website that he makes a pretty compelling counterargument to evolution. Keep in mind that the theory of evolution that covers creation of species is still just a theory, despite many in the scientific community that see the results of crossbreeding of animals and plants and their genetic so called “microevolution” and interpolate this into “macroevolution” or somehow think that humans evolved from monkeys.

He has a very thought out website and plus being a christian he lacks the hate so often displayed by evolution proponents. Maybe you haters should take a hint here.

The attack on science is really quite stunning. Perhaps it is because science is actually showing us that evolution is more than just a theory, that we’re finding the missing links all the time.

It is also helping us to make progress with disease and the human condition, some of which are preventable thus the believe in seeing those people suffer. Think AIDS research, or even the availability of drugs to terminate a pregnancy.

That’s the mindset of those people.

I am reading in disbelief how patently ridiculous IDers sound. It’s the same old argument, over and over again, about how Science only has “theories”, but the Bible is correct. It’s sad that these people slept through their entire Science curriculum through their entire schooling. Had they even looked up from their bibles once through the process they might have realized that Science is all about repeatability, and observation.

I guess not everyone can have an IQ over 100…….
