If, I repeat, If, this happens, I nominate Albatrossity for the Nobel Effin Peace Prize.* |
Don't count on it. Remember that he only said he would urge the co-authors to make the change. Classic good cop line: "Sure, I see your point, but I can't speak for my co-authors. I mean, I agree, but, you know, that Stephen Meyer? He is a loose cannon. I can't control him and I just never know what he is going to do."
Think Danny Glover and Mel Gibson in "Lethal Weapon." |
I agree; I am not optimistic that any substantive changes will be visible in EE's second edition. They simply can't afford to do that; the entire "Embryology" chapter (pp. 65-71) consists of nothing more than an extended rant about Haeckel's embryos. If they had to point out that nobody teaches that stuff that way in modern times, they wouldn't have any argument at all.
Look for changes in the minimal-to-none range for this section of EE.
But if I'm wrong, I'll be happy to pick up the Peace Prize. Thanks for the nomination, J-Dog! |
Your welcome!
Carlsonjock: Unfortunately your analogy breaks down, because we are dealing with the DI and ID... what do you do it they are all "bad cops"?
It's like 2 Mel Gibsons!
Twice the Crazy - Twice the Anti-Antisemitism, 100% the dumb.
