I suppose the Templeton Foundation has a "No Free Lunch" policy.

was it a whole 24 hrs ago that NASA said June was the hottest month ever recorded?

Corny doesn't give near enough information on Matt Ridley.  He's a wealthy British Conservative (now "5th Viscount Ridley on the death of his father") and member of the English House of Lords, yet he's managed to write two very good books on evolution, "The Red Queen" and "Genome" which I've read and highly recommend as well as several other books I've never seen.  Some of those others also look pretty good but some of them give off a distinct odor of crank. 

One other thing, "His great great great great grandfather, Dudley Marjoribanks, 1st Baron Tweedmouth, created the Golden Retriever breed of dog."  An interesting man, wealthy, titled, famous - O'Leary would probably call him a Toff.

However, he was also Chairman of the Board of Northern Rock Bank.  Under his direction, Northern Rock borrowed heavily in the short term money market - loans that typically had to be repaid in 30 days.  Rock then took this short term money and used it to sell 30 year mortgages to its customers.  They would then resell the mortgages to investors, thus getting the money they needed to pay off the 30 day debts.  This is borrowing short and lending long, the classic recipe for killing a bank.

If the hairs on the back of your neck are standing up right now, you probably remember what happened here when America tried this Applied Bushanomics in 2007-2008.

Suddenly Northern Rock couldn't sell its mortgages to outside investors.  This meant they had no large cash payments coming in, just the slow monthly payments from the mortgage holders.  This meant Northern Rock couldn't pay those 30 day debts and that meant they were bankrupt.  "This led to panic among individual depositors, who feared that their savings might not be available should Northern Rock go into receivership. The result was a bank run – the UK's first in 150 years – where depositors lined up outside the bank to withdraw all of their savings as quickly as possible, particularly since everyone else was doing the same."

It cost the British taxpayers well over 30 billion Pounds to clean up the mess.  Ridley refuses to discuss his historic fuck-up and so far he's getting away with that.  However, being featured in a UD post indicates he's lost a lot of his prestige.

See the Wikipedia articles on "Matt Ridley" and "Northern Rock" to see the quotes in context.

I'm not current on the climate controversy, but it looks like Ridley is using the same kind of thinking here that cranks have always used to push their cranky beliefs and which he used to destroy Northern Rock: Concentrate on every little factoid he can drag up which supports his beliefs while resolutely ignoring the many clashes between those "facts" and the greater reality.  Borrowing short and lending long intellectually, in effect.

I see Denyse has put up a post based on a New Statesman article on cosmology.

Is this more, or less, serious than a New Scientist article on cosmology (at least in the Newsiverse)?

Would an article on cosmology in Vogue be really serious?

Why does Uncommon Descent/William Dembski allow people like Cornelius Hunter to propagate the utter lies and nonsense seen in the OP?

Cornelius Hunter: Evolution a Christian idea and concept!

The fact of the matter is that only Atheists advocated evolution in Victorian times. Evolution (species producing species) is an Atheist concept.

In Victorian times, up until the rise of Darwinism (1859-1872) science accepted “each species” created independently thus “each species” was considered immutable (Darwin 1859:6, 310; London: John Murray). Moreover, in Victorian times, up until the rise of Darwinism (1859-1872) science accepted Paley’s case for design and Intelligent causation. So where was evolution Mr. Hunter?

So Cornelius Hunter is exposed as a propaganda artist working in behalf of the Atheist Agenda to erase the facts of the history of Creationism in science.

Shame on Uncommon Descent and William Dembski.

If it is one of us, it is a long scam. Ray's been around forever--Old Earth w/ Young Life, species immutability, lost island of Atlantis....

Apparently Corny's "we can pretend they're as bad as we know we are" evolution is religion trickeration, wink-wink-nod, was missed by good Christian Ray, who just knows Evolution=Atheist.

In other News, Rob Sheldon just laid down this turd:

As many eyewitness accounts attest, many naive scientists researching Martian life have found themselves bound and gagged. The great irony is how many people gloat that NASA has not found life [O'Leary LOL] despite searching for it, when in fact, the true tale is the very opposite.

WTF is happening over at UD?

Rob Sheldon has found life on Mars, and has some interesting notions about where gravity doesn't exist.

Cornelius Hunter has met the Spanish Inquisition in Ray Martinez.

Mapou and YECs are out-crazying each other.

"Peter" has this to share:

"I guess ever race is important except the White race. I wonder if you would have the same opinion if it were Blacks or Hispanics going extinct."

"Yes, I realize that taking the vote away from White women will never happen. Once a people gives women equality it is game over for them."

"You may be glad that women will not loose the right to vote. But your relief is only short lived. Once the whites have gone extinct and are replaced by the Arabic race women will have far less rights."

You missed this gem from Peter:
Quote
As you don’t care if your race goes extinct then I guess that you are comfortable with women voting. My personal opinion is that feminism destroys societies. It caused the collapse of the Roman empire. I want my race to survive.


I would like to think that Peter is just yanking our chain, but given that it is on UD, I will not hold my breath.

But, on another note, it is nice to see that UD and ID is all about science.

It will be interesting to see if anyone responds to REC:

As many times as I’ve have had fairly innocuous comments marked up by UD editors, have had “correctives” issued by KF, and have been called all sorts of names by UD regulars, it is interesting to see comments like:

“As you don’t care if your race goes extinct then I guess that you are comfortable with women voting. My personal opinion is that feminism destroys societies. It caused the collapse of the Roman empire. I want my race to survive.”

“Muslims are a successful species. And Dawkin critizes them. What a fool. Doesn’t he realize that when secular Whites gave women the right to vote they guaranteed there own extinction?”

go without any sort of comment. I take it as either a passive endorsement, or fear of wreaking your big tent of loons with criticism.

I'm predicting removal of comments and silent bannination.  For REC.
