There goes the neighborhood.
Hide your valuables: my good friend and colleague Kevin Corcoran has invaded the blogosphere. His new blog is Holy Skin and Bone, and he's already out of the closet on evolution. Check out this post on the idiotic Darwin fish wars, and read his profile. Kevin and I hang in real life, and after a while on his blog (or immediately, if you read his published work) it will be clear why I have a label here called "Christian materialism." I learned it all from Kevin!

I love where the last link takes you. I didn't look at the url before I clicked, and I'm glad I just went with the joke.
You thought that was a joke?
:-)
If I had a teenaged daughter, I'd want someone competent to do the screening... :)
what the...? How...Anyway..since I am already here at this comment page, I might as well leave a comment.
I am a christian struggle to reconcile my christian faith with what I learn in science class about evolution. Now I find this blog, haven't read much yet, but I think it's a good place to start learning something.
Just make sure, next time you give a link...
Heh TWO Christians who believe in evolution, the first of whom actually knows what he's talking about? I think my head may just explode.
I'm sure I can search and out and find it but it's much for fun to simply ask "what are your thought on ID... Religiously motivated pseudoscience or real science?"
That is... is ID pseudoscience that starts with the answer ("God dun it") and works backwards to pick and choose the evidence that best suits them, or do you see it as a real scientific alternative to evolution?
Hey Healy--
On the ground, ID is definitely religiously motivated folk science, creationism with some fancy new equipment. It's definitely not an alternative to evolution, and it's not even trying to offer explanations for data. In general, I think it's a ghoulish embarrassment to Christendom.
But that's not to say that questions about design, its nature and source, are automatically intellectually vacuous.
And when looked at as a challenge to naturalism, ID makes more sense, although the "science" of ID proponents is still inexcusably bad.
Read back a little in the blog and you'll see that I'm an energetic opponent of the ID movement. In the future, I'll post on the idea of design and why I think there are some (small) tidbits of value in ID ideas.
