Debunking Creationism:

Dembski Responds

Category: intelligent design

Over at Uncommon Descent, Dembski has responded to my critique of his paper with Marks. In classic Dembski style, he ignores the substance of my critique, and resorts to quote-mining. In my previous post, I included a summary of...

Dembski's Latest: "Life's Conservation Law", and why it's stupid

Category: Debunking Creationism

So. William Dembski, the supposed "Isaac Newton of Information Theory" has a new paper out with co-author Robert Marks. Since I've written about Dembski's bad IT numerous times in the past, I've been getting email from readers wanting me...

It Never Stops: Another Silly Creationist Argument

Category: Debunking Creationism

Nonsense Pretending: Probability as a Disguise

Category: Debunking Creationism

Bad God Proofs: the Islamic Version

Category: Debunking Creationism

I've been sent Yet Another Proof of God. This one goes to rather a lot of trouble to appear to be mathematical. I thought that it would be fun to rip it apart. For a change, this one is...

Book Review: The Faith Equation (part 1)

Category: Debunking Creationism

A few weeks ago, I received an email about a new book, "The Faith Equation", by Marvin Bittinger. Bittinger is an author of math textbooks - including, I think, my first calculus text. The book is supposed to be...

Creationist drivel from a (sob) Computer Science Professor

Category: Debunking Creationism

Much to my professional shame, PZ recently pointed out David Plaisted, a Computer Science professor at the University of North Carolina, who has an anti-evolution screed on his university website. Worse, it's typical creationist drivel, which anyone with half...
