Quote (The whole truth @ Sep. 03 2016,11:28) | I wonder if the discotoot will close down the "Biologic Institute" now that Douglas Axe says:
"For me, the book, career-wise, marks a transition from doing a careful extended critique of Darwinism — I reached the point several years ago where I thought, I can’t think of anything else we can do; we’ve done all these careful experiments, we’ve published the results. We get people who bash them, but it’s only in blog articles. Nobody has gone in a lab and done work at the level we’ve done it to critique the work we’ve done. So, I feel like we’re beating a dead horse at some point, and I really want to shift gears."

Quote | DA: What bothers me about the way the debate has played out is that both sides — the sides that I’m referring to here are the intelligent design proponents and the defenders of the orthodox Darwinian view — have tended to perpetuate the idea that this is basically a technical argument for scientists to hash out, and that the general public is to consume only the simplified explanations of what’s happening in that technical argument. That has bothered me for two reasons. One, because the establishment side, the orthodox Darwinian position, will always win if that’s how we frame the debate, because they outnumber us. There are far more people with Ph.D.s at top research facilities who disagree with me than the people who agree with me. The other reason it bothers me is that I don’t fundamentally think that this is, at rock bottom, a technical issue. Common sense and very universal, simple reasoning actually can show you that Darwin’s story cannot be the true story. So, I use the term common science to connect to common sense, but also to show that it’s not just that we have these intuitions, we actually have experienced observation models that we build as we go through life, beginning with early childhood, that really are scientific in nature. We don’t just pull these things out of thin air, we base them on our own observations and collective experience. They are really scientific in nature. That’s what I was aiming for with the term “common science.” |
