Re: [asa] New Atheist Logic Lends Support to ID Movement

Hi Gregory:

“Is this one of the reasons why you are not part of the IDM, Mike, in that
you don't consider 'intelligent design' as being 'scientific'?”

Of course.

“Secondly, do you not have *any* 'cultural objectives' in your approach to
this topic?”

Nope.

“Or are you 'culturally neutral' or somehow suggesting that culture doesn't
matter or something like that?”

Well, if the intellectual stimulation of some anonymous guy on the internet
is culturally relevant, be sure to let me know.

Hello Schwarzwald and Mike,

Interesting back and forth on this. Let me just ask a couple of small
questions to Mike, who wrote:

"The ‘ ID-as-science ’ claim is a necessary part of the movement, as without
this claim, there is insufficient leverage for the movement’s cultural
objectives."

Is this one of the reasons why you are not part of the IDM, Mike, in that
you don't consider 'intelligent design' as being 'scientific'?

Secondly, do you not have *any* 'cultural objectives' in your approach to
this topic? Or are you 'culturally neutral' or somehow suggesting that
culture doesn't matter or something like that?

Glad for your comments on this either on or off-list.

Gregory
