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

Tell him to look under the sofa cushions. When something of mine goes missing, that's where it usually turns up.
ReplyDeleteThere's a big difference between "dishonest creationist" and "mistaken creationist."
ReplyDeleteLets make sure the criticisms fall in the proper category.
