ID Creationism and Science

So I did a post this week at Reality Base on the Texas School Board maelstrom which has engendered some debate. I heard back from some people on comments and via email (!). I will do more on it at Reality Base but here I just wanted to state something clearly. What is going on in Texas is not about some sincere attempt to understand the world through open ended inquiry personal or otherwise. It is one very particular form of religion (note that many institutional forms of Christianity do not have this trouble with evolution) and their attempt to dictate what is taught as Science. This is a very bad and very dangerous thing for us scientifically and politically. I am willing to take the heat and speak out as an a-theist scientist who is interested in, and respects the domains of human spiritual endeavor but what is happening in Texas speaks to the worst impulses that manifest in the name of religion. It is a bad, bad thing. People who have read my book and my writings know I do not say this lightly.

  1. This brand designs trousers, shirts, jackets, hoodies, sweaters, handbags, sunglasses and a lot of other stuff. If you are talking about the craziness and likeness of the customers, then you will come to know that Abercrombie clothing polo is one of the hot favorite items of this brand.Men are simply in love with the polo shirts. Those people, who play polo sport, are not only wearing these shirts but they are being commonly worn on casual basis. You will see that many famous and popular polo and tennis players have been wearing these shirts. Abercrombie & Fitch clothing has become an important part of casual clothing. All the fashion conscious men like to wear these shirts, every time they step out of their homes. Polo shirts of Abercrombie and Fitch clothing define your style statement.
