Are Professors Being Expelled

Expelled Dembski“Professors aren’t being fired because they support intelligent design, they are being fired for lots of other reasons and then they have to justify their firing to other people and say it was because they advocated ID, rather than admit they were in some other way inadequate.”

That is what I was recently told by a cheeky fellow who was trying to cast an aura of confidence and disdain.

Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed

Ben Stein ExpelledBen Stein has done the unthinkable. He has become an advocate of something that our academic institutions and the gatekeepers of accepted Science absolutely will not tolerate. He has advocated freedom of inquiry. How dare he suggest that PhDs in mathematics, physics, and genetics be allowed to question the dogma of the scientific elite? Doesn’t he know that Science is about unquestioning acceptance of the theories of our predecessors? Where would we be if Newton and Einstein had the audacity to question the accepted theories of their day?

Beginners Guide to Intelligent Design

I enjoy reading William Dembski’s blog, Uncommon Descent. For those of you who may not have been over there for awhile, it recently got a new face-lift so go on over and check it out. While going through their archives I noted that in response to a request from a grad student in the field of philosophy for a “philosophically educated beginner’s guide to ID” Dembski posted this impromptu reading list:

  • Ben Wiker, Moral Darwinism (IVP)
  • Bill Dembski, The Design Revolution (IVP)
  • Angus Menuge, Agents Under Fire (Rowman & Littlefield)
  • Michael Rea, World Without Design (Oxford)
  • William Lane Craig & JP Moreland (eds.), Naturalism: A Critical Analysis (Routledge)
  • Del Ratzsch, Nature, Design, and Science (SUNY)
  • Neil Manson (ed.), God and Design (Routledge)
  • Thomas Reid, Lectures on Natural Theology (UPA, edited by Elmer Duncan)

Godless, Recommended by William Dembski

Ann Coulter, isn’t usually an author that you would think of when building your theological library. However, consider the following statement made by William Dembski at Uncommon Descent;

“Having been a sounding board for Ann Coulter, on chapters 8-10 of GODLESS), I’m happy to see the entire book now that it is out. Ann is taking Phillip Johnson’s message as developed in DARWIN ON TRIAL and REASON IN THE BALANCE and bringing it home to the masses. Critics will dismiss it for its hyperbole, lack of nuance, and in-your-face attitude. But she has the gist just right, which is that materialism (she calls it liberalism) dominates our culture despite being held by only a minority of the populace and has become an agenda among our elites (academy, scientists, media) for total worldview reprogramming. Close to half the book is devoted to science and evolution. I cannot help but feel that GODLESS will propel our issues in the public consciousness like nothing to date. Phillip Johnson’s DARWIN ON TRIAL took ten years to sell 300,000 copies. I expect Ann will sell more than that in ten weeks.”
