Please respond to bivalve
>RE2 is a response to two things:(1) the PBS-TV series Evolution (2001),
(2) the Scientific American cover story by John Rennie, "15 Answers to
Creationist Nonsense" (2002). A lot of the arguments in the book are not
explictly for YEC.<
David wrote:
Neither these nor the antievolutionary responses to them can be
particularly commended. Both the TV series and the Rennie article confound
science and philosophical issues. Sarfati and the Discovery Institute
accept this confounding and give bad arguments against the good science
featured in the two.
My response:
In what ways did the TV series confound science and philosophical issues? I
don't remember noticing that it did when I watched it (I've watched it a
couple of times). It seems to me that it treated the issues of theism and
science quite respectfully. In my opinion, the feature on Wheaton college
was fair; it did not at all imply that evolution/Christian theism was
necessarily an either/or issue.
