I almost feel sorry for Nancy Pearcey. Almost. Nick Matzke shreds the poor woman, and I felt a faint twinge of sympathy…but such ignorance and mendacity deserves the treatment she gets.

Random Quote
By their own words, therefore, creation-scientists admit that they appeal to phenomena not covered or explicable by any laws that humans can grasp as laws. It is not simply that the pertinent laws are not yet known. Creative processes stand outside law as humans know it (or could know it) on Earth — at least there is no way that scientists can know Mendel's law through observation and experiment. Even if God did use His own laws, they are necessarily veiled from us forever in this life, because Genesis says nothing of them.

As Ms. Pearcey says, "the logic of ID is different from Creationism." And she clearly spells out the difference:
"(C)reationism was founded by people who were bible-believing christians ... But that's not the way you talk to people who don't share your beliefs."

Caught lying and cheating.
Red-handed.
Will this make any difference?
Naaah .....
