What evidence can you present that any Christian at all would find that upsetting?
This is completely false. Neither methodological nor philosophical materialism requires denial of design.
This is just the tired old argument “They’re biased because they’re atheists”. It’s not enough to simply rehearse this ancient trope, you need to actually prove they’re wrong.
What absolute nonsense. This is just a baseless appeal to conspiracy. You provide no evidence that the lack of peer reviewed ID publications is the result of this kind of systematic opposition.
Wow, you don’t even accept the established science on global warming? That is very telling.
There’s a red flag phrase right there; “leftist America-hating”.
No, it’s because he understands it very well. Every tin foil hat conspiracy theorist complains that their personal lunacy isn’t taken seriously because of systematic orchestrated opposition in the academy. It’s not enough to simply make the claim, you need to prove it.
But they don’t conclude that the arguments for ID are good ones. So you need to spend some time figuring out why that is. And your claim that those who say “some of the ID critiques of traditional evolutionary theory are good ones” are “actually more adept in evolutionary theory” is mere rhetoric.
In other words they were being polite. But were they convinced by his arguments? Did they stand up and say “That’s it, I am throwing evolution away”?
Quoted for breathtaking irony value. You do not take a Socratic view at all. You post lengthy screeds of rhetoric, rehearsing exactly the same small collection of arguments (which avoid actually addressing the science), arguing dogmatically for only one view. You’re entirely partisan.
