Gonzalez is an IDiot, but no idiot. He knew that he was destined either to a) gain tenure at a state-supported institution as a known ID advocate or b) sacrifice his career on the altar of intelligent design.

There has never been a losing outcome for the DI. One of its prime objectives is to rile the conservative-Christian rank-and-file. Given the low ebb of the ID tide, the DI gets more mileage out of a martyr than a tenured professor. The best of all scenarios for the DI is an extended sealing of the tomb, followed by a surprise ending in which the martyr emerges transfigured.

He's openly hostile to the entire enterprise that he ostensibly applied to become a lifelong part of.

And that is why it's entirely reasonable for his views to be part of any discussion regarding tenure. In fact, that's probably not strong enough - it should be a necessary part of the discussion.  Not a deal-breaker, if he's able to compartmentalise his anti-science beliefs and do good work, but definitely something his reviewers ought to talk about.

Stand up, Denyse, and continue standing up in spite of any tendency to despair as you contemplate a worldview in its death-throes.

You may well wonder how it is possible that genial crackpots like Carl Sagan and Paul Davies are welcomed with open arms in academia and given generous access to PBS and the Times while someone who makes an eminently reasonable inference of design from the fine-tuning of the universe is excluded as if he were some sort of freak.

The reason is that Modernism (and its rear-guard movement, Postmodernism) has obtained institutional status and become impervious to reason. If you think you are alone in your despair, consider those on the liberal arts side who must now endure an endless barrage of smug nihilism from hordes of self-absorbed dilettantes who obtained tenure by parroting the party line.

But the hardening of party lines can also be seen as a harbinger of better things to come. The same academics who thought of themselves as radicals and lovers of freedom thirty years ago have now become reactionaries, as the famous emails make clear. And at that point the difference between dogma and reality becomes too obvious to ignore.

The old paradigm is already dead. The intransigence you identified is restricted to a few small and shrinking islands. We may feel frustrated by the dogmatism of the universities and the media, but old bastions of materialism like the Times and PBS are rapidly losing influence for that very reason—because they are unable to change.

They are hardening their lines of defense, but they cannot stop the change that is being wrought through discoveries in basic science. Materialism cannot stand for long when it must manufacture multiple universes in order to account for the orderliness of our own. The same weight that makes its intransigence possible will also cause it to topple over.

I thought Barry A was talking about that Idiot Bill Buckingham at the Dover Trial:

"And you know what else I’ve learned?  There is actually a great benefit when a witness denies an obvious truth.  If the jury catches them doing that just once, they lose all credibility and nothing they say from that point on makes any difference to the case. "

Yep, sounds like Dover not Nuremburg to me.  Danke Shoen Herr Stubanfuhrer Barry.

We forget that the DI doesn't ever actually do anything except write press releases. They piked out of Dover and  they were going to sue over the Nova program. I think they are stupid enough to think that ISU will quietly negotiate a settlement with GG.

GG himself is quiet in all this. I wonder if the DI went to him and said don't worry we'll talk to ISU and try and get you tenure. GG thinking that there'll be some quiet high level negotiations.

However, he opens his paper and is currently saying WTF!!!!111!!one.

Denyse is pushing the persecution card a little strongly lately isn't she. maybe nobody is buying her books.

So let me see if I have this straight... Gonzalez should have the academic freedom to call most of the scientists in the world whackjobs for believing in "Darwinism", but his fellow faculty members have no academic freedom to discuss amongst themselves IDC as an antiscience position that doesn't do credit to their institution?

That seems to be about where the DI is playing this.

Yes.

Intelligent Design is science and a scientific issue when promoting it to nonscientists in church basements. However, when in the presence of other scientists Intelligent Design is a private, personal issue, and thus ridiculing it is persecution and intolerance. Doublethink is fun!

I think most observers pick up immediately on the "veiled" meanings of "persecution" and "intolerance"- it means it's religious. Nobody ever speaks about being intolerant to a scientific view, but it wouldn't sell as a public appeal to the conservative Christian crowd if they weren't using all the trappings of religion.

What is the legal basis of the challenge to ISU? Will it be religious discrimination? If so I could see that being a problem in the long run, although it might get GG a seat in the faculty.

If it is not religious discrimination, then what? It seems that the funding/graduate student success rate/ publication record issue is a pretty tough obstacle, and that the best chance GG has is to argue that his religious beliefs were held in contempt by the faculty voting on his tenure.

Sally_T: Here’s more info http://www.evolutionnews.org/

I don’t know what the basis of a lawsuit would be, but since GG is a government employee, I assume the University is required to go through some due process before letting him go (denying tenure). If they conspired beforehand, or violated their own standards, then perhaps there’s been an unlawful termination. There ought to be some kind of equal protection for government employees, I would think.

Ah, ah. This from Denyse;

In other words, when Carl Sagan said that Earth is a pale blue dot lost somewhere in the cosmos, he was simply incorrect. But he reprsents "science", right?

Gonzalez is correct - but he represents "religion", supposedly.

So an incorrect account of Earth's position is science and a correct account is religion?

Oh, but wait a minute - the next move will be the claim that whatever Gonzalez demonstrated doesn't prove anything after all, and even talking about it is "religion", which is not allowed - so bye bye career.

We may reach the point in my own lifetime when one really must turn to religion ("religion?") in order to get a correct account of basic facts about our planet and to science ("science"?) for propaganda and witch hunts.


actually explains everything. Gonzalez was RIGHT, and that's why everyone who thinks he's not right about everything is screwing up.

The argument from "I'm right about everything" sure is interesting... actually, technically this is just really unsubtle begging of the question, by inserting Gonzalez being right about everything into the premises needed to conclude that everyone who is against him is wrong.

The theory does not mention or discuss God, Christianity, or the Bible in any way."

I am  not sure what is most interesting about Dembski's latest post about the amazon.com reviews for "The Design of Life."

Maybe it is that at least 3 of the 9 positive reviews are by direct Dembski associates (Michael Polanyi Center cohort Bruce L. Gordon,  Discovery Institute chum Casey Luskin, and UD contributor idnet.com.au). And who knows about the ubiquituous, but anonymous, "Darwin Researcher" in London. (Is that you, Louis?)

Or perhaps that the two reviews from Italy and Denmark were posted on November 22, only 3 days after the book was released. Those are some FedEx paying, speed reading dudes!

Or maybe that while he is using Amazon to market his book, he is sending interested parties to the FTE website to actually buy it.
