Egnor's apologetics and their ilk should drive a wedge deeper and deeper between religious fanatics and younger generations. At least that's what I'm seeing anecdotally, from the midst of an evangelic family. The youngsters and middle-agers watch BBC's "Planet Earth" with no qualms about the evolutionary perspective. When an old-timer objects, they shrug it off as, "Oh well, that's just grandpa."<br /><br />They're not planning to give up their religion, but they don't see evolution or artificial intelligence as a threat to it, necessarily. Even the "Bible" colleges they go to have computer courses.<br /><br />The more nonsense Eignor and his colleagues spout, the worse for their cause, in the long run. That's the optimistic possibility, anyway. But then, I also think Trump is causing his own downfall with his behavior. We will see how that works out. (I hope in the coming election.) (Another parallel I see between Eignor and Trump is that I wonder if they can help all of it, or if some of their behavior might be due to physical problems with their brains which they can't help--having known someone whom that happened to.)JimVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10198704789965278981noreply@blogger.com
