Looking for an Honest Creationist

There's a new blog, Diogenes' Lamp, that takes on creationism, intelligent design, and similar foolishness. Worth a look - but, like Diogenes, if he's looking for an honest creationist, he's going to have a long wait.

According to Richard Dawkins, Kurt Wise is an honest creationist.

I'll put forward Todd Wood - http://toddcwood.blogspot.com/2009/09/truth-about-evolution.html

He also wrote a recent reponse to a terrible piece of ICR propoganda on transposable elements - http://toddcwood.blogspot.com/2010/03/primer-on-transposable-elements.html

Tell him to look under the sofa cushions. When something of mine goes missing, that's where it usually turns up.

There's a big difference between "dishonest creationist" and "mistaken creationist."

Lets make sure the criticisms fall in the proper category.

Michael said...

What's ironic about Wise/Wood type honest, informed creationists is that their view makes God into a liar with the universe as the most gigantic imaginable fraud.

Miranda said...

The power of your comment, Michael, is diminished were you to reword it to something like this: "the universe as the most gigantic imaginable test."
Besides, religious folks for millenia have already called this world "a lying world." Find out what they mean.

I consider my father to be a honest creationist. He doesn't know a lot about Science, and he recognizes that. He'd never try to write an article defending Creationism on scientific grounds.
