Academic Extinction - More and More, Evolutionary Theory is Becoming Nothing More than Darwinian Mantra

David Berlinski of the Discovery Institute comments on the comments made by Robert Holub, Dean of the Undergraduate Division at UC Berkeley.

Berlinski states that, "for the first time, they are being asked to defend the thesis that biological design is more apparent rather than real. The effort has left them breathless. They are, of course, not about to surrender their ideological allegiances."

The academic elites are like the proverbial cornered victim. The lash out with ad hominem attacks and repetitive talking points like "ID is not science", and "creationism dressed up in a cheap tuxedo." They offer clever sayings in the public forum, referring to Dr. William Dembski as "Dumbski".

Unintelligent Designs and the Responsibility of Educators

Robert Holub, Dean of the Undergraduate Division at UC Berkeley weighs in on ID and higher education.

Through this commentary, I found out something about those who hold to ID as a possible explanation for the world as it really is; we are uncritical thinkers who are scientifically illiterate. We are a blight on the intellectual landscape.
