Korthof's evaluation

"I include a summary and evaluation of Michael Ruse's presentation,
because "Ruse Admits
Evolution Is a Philosophy" has become a
"known fact" among
creationists. It is the title of a page written by Tom
Woodward (1) and I received
two emails, reporting that Ruse admits
that Evolution is a
philosophy (probably based on Tom Woodward's
report).
In this review I restrict
myself to the published proceedings of the 1992
Dallas symposium: the subject
of my current review (2). What did
Michael Ruse really say,
according to the proceedings? And what
does it mean? Ruse
presentation was titled: "Darwinism: Philosophical
Preference, Scientific
Inference, and Good Research Strategy".
Ruse's presentation comes in
3 steps (decisions):
1. SCIENCE: commitment to
unbroken law (no miracles)
2. EVOLUTION: the truth of
evolution is beyond reasonable doubt, but
is not a logical necessity.
3. DARWINISM: Darwinism as
the best scientific strategy "
