I've heard that a picture is worth a thousand words.

What’s the exchange rate on one of BA77s YouTube links?

For me, reading Alter’s book was the intellectual equivalent of a “Dambusters” bombgoing off in my head: the case it made was so strong that it shattered my psychological defenses and forced me to revise my own theological views. Prior to reading the book, I was quite happy to take up cudgels in defense of the historical accuracy of the Bible. After reading the book, I am now far more skeptical of the Bible’s historical reliability than I was previously, and I no longer hold rigidly to any doctrine of Biblical inerrancy. Instead, my predominant feeling now is one of utter detachment: “Let the chips fall where they may.”

I think Vincent is going thru some changes.  I never thought he was UD material, although hearing him talk about Saint Cupertino, the Flying Saint, gave me pause.  No doubt Batshit thinks the Devil is taking him over.



Is he still teaching in Japan? Maybe he's going through manga pause.

JVL, interesting discussion. I have also wondered why ID has not followed up on investigating the obvious questions that arise from the assertion that an intelligent agent is the best explanation of biological complexity. Things like:
What mechanisms were used to create the design?
What mechanisms were used to implement the design?
What limitations and constraints are there to the design?
When did the design occur?
Is design an ongoing thing?
Given the fact of mutation, will mutations accumulate to the point where life will cease to exist?


Careful RJ. Them's fightin words. :D  :D  :D

I'm sure RJ knows that ID doesn't make progress because it's pseudoscience. Astrology doesn't make progress. Water Dowsing doesn't make progress. Creationism, either in it's honest form, or it's dishonest ID form, is pseudoscience.

I have a lot of respect for Dr Behe

As do I. I also have a lot of respect for many people who comment here, even though I disagree with them. Gpuccio, HeKs, Torley, OldAndrew and the like are a pleasure to converse with. I would enjoy to sit down for a drink with any of them. There are a few, however, on both sides of the fence, who simply are incapable of disagreeing without making it personal.

Yet you ARE being dishonest towards the evidence. It is not ‘maybe’ you are being dishonest towards the evidence. It is a fact that you are being dishonest. PERIOD! Others may not put it so bluntly, unfortunately, I am not so refined in social graces as them and I call em as I see em. Nor I am here to sooth your feelings about being so blatantly wrong. I am here to show unbiased readers how intellectually dishonest Darwinists can be and are when it comes to the science at hand, so as to more clearly show them that Darwinian evolution is a false worldview.


I understand that you are absolutely convinced that you are right and that everyone who disagrees with you must be a fool or a knave. I too am convinced that I am right but I’m doing my best not to cast aspersions on your or your thought processes. I think I have a fairly good idea of why you feel ID is the correct model which is why I’m here asking and answering questions. But I think we really don’t have much more to say to each other.

gpuccio

Thank you very much for your lengthy and respectful responses. I have read through both and need to take some time to formulate my response. I’m sure you can guess what’s happening: I find myself disagreeing but I want to examine my thoughts and make sure I am not just reacting out of some kind of unfounded belief and I don’t want to address a straw-man version of what you’ve said.

The one thing I will say is that you seem to just assume we have never seen complex functional information arise from unconscious sources when that is the whole issue in question. So, are you already assuming your conclusion? I realise that you have given some reasons for that premise and I think what I need to do is to address those reasons as you’ve stated them.

In science you cannot simply disagree with the evidence. In empirical science you are compelled to counter the evidence with other evidence.. You have not presented any evidence but have simply disagreed with the evidence.

Peter (I’m guessing it’s the same one) has some, er, questionable opinions on race too. REC quoted him on this very thread, which was picked up and added to by - Acartia Bogart! Choice bits from each:
 
Quote
"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.”

 
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.

God help us. Bob, the video is not where she makes the claim. I linked to that earlier in the post. Read the post again. Follow the links provided.

The video is not her claim. It is her effort at damage control after having been caught in the lie. Instead of apologizing, she tries to defend it but only makes it worse.

Bob, try reading for comprehension before you reflexively spew leftist talking points. It probably won’t keep you from spewing leftist talking points, but at least you won’t sound utterly clueless.

Bob, no rational person can defend Warren. That you attempt to do so speaks volumes.

I call BS on you Bob. She did not claim to have a distant practically negligible Native American heritage. She claimed she was an Indian Bob. Get over it.

The report does not back up what she said for the reasons explained in the post. With each passing comment you descend further into hyper-partisan irrational defense mode Bob. Stop it. It is painful to watch.
Quote


No one is saying that Dave. The point of JAD’s statement is obvious. I am surprised you are unable to grasp it. Allow me to unpack it for you.

By definition, moral subectivists assert that “good” means nothing other than “that which I prefer.” Surely a moral subjetivist would not attempt to convince someone that his preference for, say, chocolate ice cream is superior to their preference for vanilla. JAD is saying that a moral subjectivist’s opinion on a race issue is — according to their own first principles — fundamentally no different from their taste in ice cream. So, to the extent their first principles are true, their opinions on the race issue are irrelevant to everyone but themselves.

Of course, no sane person actually acts as if subjective morality is true. Thus, your comment.
