but neglects to mention that he was also, according to Wikipedia, a

which, as far as I'm aware, neither Charles Darwin nor members of his family ever were.
Methinks KF is experiencing the sweet smell of excess brought on by huffing too many burning strawmen soaked in oil of ad hominem.
As for van Lommel's research into NDEs, they suffer from the same problems as all such studies, they are based on anecdotal accounts where it is very difficult to be certain that the reported experiences occurred at the same time as the brain was clinically dead and not during the periods of unconsciousness and semi-consciousness that precede and follow the brain-dead state. |
I do hope someone will tell him his hero's ugly past - and that the comment will see the light of day.
As for the "near-death experiences", isn't it interesting that some creationists would embrace occultism rather than science? After all, major churches hate that sort of competition, at least where I live. |

He was also a card carrying member of the Nazi party – I can’t help thinking that if he had ever expressed an approval of Darwins theory then he would be viewed very differently by the ID community, and would be considered evidence of a link between Nazism and Evolutionary theory.
But of course he is a design thinker, Christian and creationist so that’s OK ;) |
