EN&V just reproduced the press released by the FMS foundation I've linked to on August 12. Casey insists that the DI was involved in the "Cornell" "conference" or BI:NP Quote | Discovery Institute did not organize or fund this conference. In fact, until now, we have deliberately said very little about the resulting volume -- even as anti-ID activists were working hard to prevent its publication. |
Nothing new except for the fact that he starts preparing Springer's dismissal of the book contract as an act against academic freedom forced by evil materialist and that lawyer Luskin calls this decesion illegal. There is more tard to come: Quote | The reasons for our temporary silence may or may not be obvious -- I'll say more about it later.
[...]
One final note in this introduction: There has been some speculation that World Scientific is a vanity publishing house. That is false. It's a respected academic and scientific publishing house based in Singapore that publishes many other respectable scientific publications, including over 150 scientific journals, literally thousands of academic books, and many scientific textbooks.
Because the book challenges neo-Darwinism, no doubt World Scientific will be harshly attacked simply for publishing Biological Information: New Perspectives. That is all the more reason the publisher should be commended for supporting the academic freedom of scientists to disseminate research that challenges mainstream Darwinian theory. You see, originally Biological Information: New Perspectives was set to be published by Springer, but Springer illegally violated the book's publication contract by cancelling it late last year under pressure from Darwin lobbyists. Do what you can to support World Scientific for not caving into the censors.
In fact, attacks on academic freedom are a very important part of the story behind the publication of Biological Information: New Perspectives, and it's a story that now deserves to be told truthfully. This I will do in forthcoming articles. |
Actually, World Scientific
