Darwinian Meltdown Over Intelligent Desig

"We Are Losing This Battle"- And "Knee-Jerk Atheism" Isn't Helping

By J. Richard Pearcey

Feb. 21, 2006 -- High profile atheists and evolutionists Daniel Dennett and
Richard Dawkins "are absolute disasters in the fight against intelligent
design." So says equally high profile skeptic Michael Ruse, philosophy
professor at Florida State University, in a letter published February 20 at
Uncommon Descent, the weblog of William Dembski, one of the leaders of the
intelligent design movement.

"We are losing this battle," Ruse flatly asserts in the letter to Dennett, a
professor of philosophy at Tufts University.

I guess this would be in reaction to the major victory in Dover,
followed by the ID initiatives in numerous states falling like
dominoes.


Yes. Michael Ruse knows about the court cases. He was a key witness in the
earlier trial of the century in Arkansas. Do you remember that "major
victory"? It destroyed Creationism forever and won the war.

Not.

Pay attention to experts like Ruse. If he says we're losing the war then you
should reevaluate your own beliefs.

P.S. I don't agree with Ruse about Dawkins and Dennett. I don't have a problem
with people who attack religion and advertise their atheism. In fact, we
need more people like that. However, there are other reasons why Dawkins
and Dennett are bad for the evolution side. It's because they promote a
false view of evolution. Both of them claim that evolution produces the
"illusion" of design and that plays right into the hands of the IDiots.
