When: Thursday, October 7, 2010 7:00 PM

Where: Washburn University
1700 SW College Ave
Topeka, KS 66604
913-894-4024

Dr. Michael Shermer, founding publisher of "Skeptic Magazine", will be debating Dr. William Dembski, Discovery Institute's Senior Fellow, about whether or not science provides evidence for a designer. The debate will be on Thursday, October 7th at 7:00pm in the Washburn Room in the Memorial Union on the Washburn University campus. Admission is free. This is a debate you don't want to miss! Hope to see you there.

dave - Are you going to go and report on sweaterage - and pwnage - for the rest of the class?

I'll try to go, but I am still trying to do two jobs (my old job and my interim gig as director of the Biology Division), so free time is tough to come by. Perhaps Rich could take the train down from Chicago and meet up with FtK at the debate, and report back on that...

I'll be back from my villa in Majorca by then..

Oh, that should be great! Shermer is a brilliant guy.

TED Lecture

He"s witty, sarcastic, and has a no-nonsense approach to reality.

A report would be most welcome!

Where is the Dembski TED lecture?  EXPELLED!

Over at Evo Whine and Sleeze, Anika "The Tank" Smith reports breathlessly:

Tomorrow night four new arguments against Darwin's theory will be revealed before an audience at Southern Methodist University. Scientists from Discovery Institute and Biologic Institute are already heading down to Dallas for the event, where they'll present new evidence against Darwinian evolution after a free screening of the film Darwin's Dilemma.


Sponsored by the SMU Victory Campus Ministries (who else?)

I'm sure the World's Press will be there at SMU tomorrow night to record this momentous event.

New Evidence Against Darwinian Evolution!

Hmmm... for some reason, all my science feeds missed the 4 new pieces of evidence against evolution.  Weird.

Carping

Evolutionary
Arguments
That
Invidiously
Originate
Near
Interestingly
Secreted
Theistic
Hubris
Or
Really
Stupid
Exprobations
Surrounding
Historically
Impressive
Theories

Now if I could only think of an acronym.

Not much word, yet, from the DI Revival Pray-in at SMU last night.

One surprise, though, Paul Nelson surfaced from the depths to burble on about now evolution is improbable, based on his vast research experience, no doubt.  I'm sure Paul will write up a summary of his thoughts Real Soon Now ™ .

Fireworks rained out again.  Darn.
