Yes it is and it was the good Presbyterian Doctor that was defending
peer-reviewed science. Once you subscribe to the model that truth is
whatever advances your ideology you get all sorts of silliness like this.
Christians have a higher standard, however. Much of what I have said about
ID could easily apply to the New Atheists. For example, how many
peer-reviewed articles has Dawkins published? (From what I can tell none in
the 21st Century or even after the 80s.) What research program does he have
other than a bunch of speculations in popular literature? The reason why I
don't raise these is the context is we are presumably Christians here. Are
we to act as bad as the Atheists? Is that our new moral standard?
