ID itself doesn't rule out macro-evolution
If you capitalize it, yes it does. Just because the Discovery Institute refers to macro-evolution as "neo-Darwinism" doesn't change that.
I'll allow that, in a survey, it's impossible to tell what any one individual means by "intelligent design" because most of the people answering were probably using the term for their own private belief system before it was co-opted by DI. Which is of course what makes their marketing department so very clever -- they've taken a term that was once used for various flavors of "however it is, that's how God made it" and turned it into a political movement to teach creationism in public schools.
I am the Way, the Light and the Truthiness.
Interesting Canadian artist. For a more non-traditional value of 'artist'.
PR: that guy clearly just doesn't get it. (Link goes to interview with
Keith
who so clearly won't take responsibility for
his own
actions.)
I'm still trying to figure out why the producers of the show would
be e-mailing him, given that being on the internet is one of the things they cited in disqualifying him. He's
still a jackass though.
I believe we are all descended from the Lawgiver.
So Roddy McDowall, then?
A religion that requires belief in Roddy McDowall ever conceiving children requires more faith in the fantastic than I'm able to muster.
Yeah, I really don't get the
email thing
. But the rules about
books seem pretty clear. And, according to Tim's podcast, the production asked repeatedly if anyone had anything like that. Keith just seems pretty clueless about how he's perceived. He
makes Malan seem very self-aware.
Cindy, there's a very interesting theory that the Noah and the Flood story originates in a catastrophic flood in the Black Sea around 5600 BC (Wikipedia story here).
Maybe the
email he found
was from before the start of the show and
he just replied
? Otherwise -- yes -- it makes no sense.
Also, I missed Tim Gunn on Conan last night but I hear that he's been asked to do the fashion commentary for NBC for the Emmy Awards. Now, I will watch NBC's broadcast!
Kathy, that is interesting. Thanks. I think I watched a History Channel (or the like) show about that theory.
Hey Matt, any improvement with your dad?
