MacLaurin lecture series on the Web

The MacLaurin MP3 lecture series is an incredible resource.

Denyse O'Leary and Mustafa Akyol are in the series.

Mustafa's talk is of great value to those who want to understand the ramifications of ID in the Muslim world.

O'Leary's talk points out that the media tends to be liberal in large part because traditionalist groups steer young people who are good at communication into the clergy or parachurch ministries. Who is then left to go into media? Non-traditionally minded young people.

Here is the International Journalist's Forum on ID.

And, here is the Q & A session.

And here is the Campus Lectures main page.

Scholars demand right to be offensive

Phil Baty, in the Times Higher Education Supplement, reports on The "unrestricted liberty" to be offensive to others without fear of sanction. A radical statement of academic freedom was proposed by an influential group of scholars.

The statement, launched by 64 academics including philosopher A. C. Grayling, would extend the current law that ensures that academics are free to "question and test received wisdom, and to put forward unpopular opinions".

The statement would offer backing to Andrew McIntosh, professor of thermodynamics at Leeds, who has been sharply criticised for claiming that evolutionary theory is wrong.
