Winning the "War" - ID style

By jlynch on August 2, 2006.

Dembski predicts:

This war will not be decided by courts, legislators, or school boards, but by young people as they wake up to the fact that dogmatic Darwinists have been systematically indoctrinating and disenfranchising them. Just as the counterculture of the 60s overturned the status quo, so a new counterculture, with high school, college, and university students taking the lead, will overturn the Darwinian status quo. [Uncoomon Descent, "Why student activism is the key to winning this war", August 2, 2006]

Whatever happened to the "war" being decided in peer-reviewed science journals? Oh, I forgot, the "Darwinian fascists" control those.

[Note: I'm going to give up linking to UD and other ID sites which exclusively ban trackbacks from critical sites. I trackbacked UD for this post and was obviously rejected (at least three hours later). No point in sending traffic to the echo chamber.]

The Year in ID
What a year it has been for the Discovery Institute and the Intelligent Design movement! Below the fold, I detail the advances that ID has made in the short time since Judge Jones delivered his ruling in Kitzmiller v. Dover. January Dembski: Just as a tree that has been "rimmed" (i.e., had its bark…
Dembski and Darwinian fascists
Dembski posted an anonymous email he received accusing a "prominent anti-ID proponent" of supressing an "ID-friendly" experiment (actually a computer model) that was developed by an undergraduate student. What's interesting here is that, despite not being able to confirm anything in the e-mail,…

Dembski pimps an interview with his new bestest buddy, the electrical and computer engineer, Robert Marks "director of the Baylor Evolutionary Informatics Lab" (which is comprised of Dembski, Marks and two students). The Isaac Newton of Information Theory says: I hope you catch from the interview…
On The Lesser-Spotted ID Paper
In April 2005, I posted a piece (reproduced below the cut) that discussed Evolutionary Monographs as the putative outlet for Paul Nelson's 1998 Ph.D. thesis, a thesis that argues against common descent. In comments over at the Panda's Thumb, Nelson noted that: Bill Dembski and I have been working…

I attempted to post a comment on UD pointing them to Valentine's book "On the Origin of Phyla" and the comment never saw the light of day. Of course, that reference would wipe out their "arguments" on the "Cambrian explosion" and transitional fossils. No, no, no! Mustn't let the faithful be exposed to real research. Uncommon Descent (into Madness) is a very sick place.

jeebus this guy is a nut, I'm really getting tired of "Darwinism" being treated as a religion

It is important to keep the pressure on. The creationists are failing to achieve their goals and so they are redefining their goals to keep their troops in line (really what else can they do).

However, science is complex. The sad fact is the fewer and fewer kids are actually taking science in high school and still fewer are actually learning anything.

Solid science standards is certainly a critical issue (e.g. Kansas), but solid science achievement standards is also important. We leave the door open to the creationist tactic if we do not educate children well. I think the battle is till in the class room - and it is a much a harder battle.

I guess wMAD figures the next step for ID is to insert itself into Saturday morning cartoons.

What, you've never read B.C.?
