Ruse gibbers on. . . .
Why Evolution Is True —
... Damn! Just when I was praising the Guardian for publishing critiques of faith, along comes Michael Ruse to argue that “Dawkins et al bring us into disrepute.“ By “us,” of course, he means “atheists.” Sadly, Ruse, whose ideas are quickly approaching their sell-by date, simply expels the same arguments as all faitheists: ...

As Duane Gish put it “Evolution theory is no less religious nor more scientific than creation.” But is this what has happened? In a word, no. The wording of the headline may be just clever enough to exonerate ...

... But today is not all about Catholics. There are other groups that make me want to run over to Michael Ruse, grab his beard and make him look at the real world. There is serious wrong that people are doing because of their religion, it is not limited to the esoteric debates you so cheerily engage with your theologian fishing buddies.
