Quote (JAM @ Mar. 20 2008,19:21) | It doesn't "resolve into two sub-questions," Paul. Why not be honest and simply admit that you have no evidence at all? |
Why not be honest and call his book "Old Creationist Complaints Against Evolution, Written, Funded, and Reviewed by Creationists"? Because integrity would upset his goal of getting creationism into schools.
Quote | If ID is so important scientifically, why aren't you doing actual science (i.e., producing new data) instead of traveling? |
No one in ID does actual science because ID is scientifically barren. See for yourself. It doesn't lead to any science but it does fool some of the rubes, so people like Paul focus on propaganda like Expelled and EE.
Everyone should take some time and read about Barry Marshall, The Alvarezes, Stanley Prusiner, etc. Anyone who spends a few hours studying how real scientists work to get controversial ideas established can see that IDers aren't doing any of the necessary work, they're just doing PR.
