The Discovery Institute and the Theory of Intelligent Deception

In the American Chronicle, Wayne Adkins comments on ID.

Dial up your baloney detector machine to full power.

Apparently people who believe in ID or Biblical Creationism have preconceived notions about reality, which bias their thought process and cause some of them to be dishonest.

He states, "the reason the Discovery Institute has to constantly battle the idea that intelligent design and creationism are inexorably linked is that creationism is the basis for, not an implication of, intelligent design. Those with any inclination towards honesty will continue to make that connection. But undoubtedly the Discovery Institute will not. Honesty is not one of their stated goals. Defending the traditional doctrine of creation is."

To be honest, Adkins has no grasp on the linkages and lack thereof between creationism and ID, unlike multitudes of others who see the obvious distinctions.

With tongue in cheek I say that the other side, including Wayne Adkins, is completely unbiased and their worldview has no affect on the conclusions they draw.

Statewide Symposiums Will Deliver the Truth About Kansas Science Standards And Teaching of Evolution

The title says it all...on the Discovery Institute Web site

Kansans will now be able to learn for themselves as three experts will explain why the revised standards were necessary at a series of free symposiums across Kansas. The efforts to mislead Kansas citizens about the state's new science standards will hopefully be curbed by these symposiums.

TN school board candidates comment on origins and school

Erika Mellon, of the Knoxville (TN) News Sentinel, reports on two school board candidate's thoughts on the origins issue and how it should be taught in public schools.

Wow...

Candidate H. Lee Martin says, "the theory of evolution, which was even doubted by Darwin himself, is being taught as a fact. Let's face it, intelligent design is nothing but a code for creationism - let's call it what it is.

Okaaaaay??? Martin was also heard saying that the apple in his fruit bowl is identical to the orange in the same bowl.

He also says that the "bottom line is, there are so many holes in the theory of evolution that we need to teach creationism along with it."

Imagine if creationism was just as unfounded as Darwinism. According to his logic, teaching two bad ideas would be better than teaching one bad idea.

An opponent, Thomas Deakins says, "I've never even thought about that, to be honest."

It's reported that Deakins returned recently from his year-long trip to the planet Mars.

Misrepresentation of Views Dissenting from Evolution Not Limited to Kansas

The Catholic Church has come out swinging in recent years AGAINST Darwinism.

Here's what the Pope now distributes on prayer cards:

We are not some casual and meaningless product of evolution. Each of us is the result of a thought of God. Each of us is willed, each of us is loved, each of us is necessary.

So all over the world, people will remind themselves of anti-Darwinism every day.
