This is really weak.
Since *when* have Christian scientists "allowed" Dawkins and company to
speak for us? Mr Pearcey, like Phil Johnson, Denyse O'Leary, and many
others representing ID at the moment, just seems so conveniently to overlook
two generations of ASA authors --not to mention the Ken Miller's of the
world (did anyone at TDI ever pay attention to Miller's direct assault on
Dawkins & company, or did they just dismiss that as window dressing). What
about Howard Van Till's attacks on the "preachers of naturalism," my cover
story about ID in Christian Century (which clearly placed much of the blame
for the origins controversy on scientists like Will Provine), or Alister
McGrath's nice book, Dawkins' God? Does Mr Pearcey not see these things,
which represent only a fraction of similar literature? Is it selective
memory or simple ignorance (we are all ignorant of many things)?
More than weak, it's getting tiresome. Someone please forward this to Mr
Pearcey and invite him to respond.
