Just like every science paper is really an ID paper, every appeal to Providence is anti-Darwinism.

Then Sal quotes Fleming: | Quote | It may be that while we think we are masters of the situation we are merely pawns being moved about on the board of life by some superior power.
Fleming
Nobel Laureate, discoverer of penicillin |
Man, I'm glad Sal could see that Fleming was really getting in a jab at Darwin.
Sal is a master quote miner, eh? See UD troll, he's always been at work.

My ancestry is to a large degree Scottish, and since Scots are mostly known for whiskey and stinginess, I’m pleased that Maxwell was both a great scientist and a good Presbyterian.

Yes, but was he a true Scotsman.

Thanks, Sal. Interesting post and good food for thought.
One of the things that struck me when I read Origin was that Darwin provided essentially no numerical, quantifiable calculations or analyses — virtually no math to speak of. In fairness, he readily acknowledged that his book was in the form of “one long [rhetorical] argument.” But one must not confuse general musings and hypotheses with rigorous numerical analysis. One cannot avoid the latter and expect the former to be taken seriously.

Yeah, it's not like he calculated the CSI in a bacterial flagellum or anything.
I think Sal's logic goes like this. True scientists are christians and non-christian scientists aren't good scientists. So much for Einstein.
