Poor Nancy Pearcey

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.

I've written many a post skewering the claims of ID advocates over the years, but I have to bow down and genuflect before this treatment by Nick Matzke of young earth creationist/IDist Nancy Pearcey at the Panda's Thum
After Philadelphia Inquirer columnist Faye Flam took the Discovery Institute to task for their Hitler obsession and constant violations of Godwin's law,
Eric Pianka is eccentric, opinionated, and outspoken; many people might disagree with specific bits and pieces of his position.
The Minnesota Family Council is a spawn of Dobson (it's got "family" in the title, so you know it's got to be evil), and it's usually one of those organizations that lobbies to get legislative support for their hatred of women and gays.

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 .....
