Comment at Darwin's God, from naturalism to paganism to superstition

It seems as if the authors know that if someone logically rejects the most socially accepted (to the point of being expected) form of superstition [i.e. Christianity], then there is little hope for their new agey, short half-life, money-making drone memes to hook in. Not really, whatever things “seem” like to you historical facts show [...]

Comment at Darwin's God III

Please tell us how you would treat an infection if on the whim of some supernatural entity an antibiotic that was 100% safe and effective on one day became a deadly poison to humans the next? The reason that science and medicine as we know it in the West arose is because of the “Jewish [...]

Comment at Darwin's God II

You explain convincingly why there is no alternative to methodological naturalism. The irony of the notion of methodological naturalism is that it only makes sense if its falsification, i.e. supernaturalism might actually be detected in some way. Yet its proponents argue that this is impossible as a matter of principle and surround this claim with [...]

I assume you don’t think it would be a good option to pursue supernatural causes in medicine. Perhaps you do not have to pursue them, as they might arise naturally. Or is that simply impossible? After all, we already admit to transphysical causes and transcendent realities in medicine all the time. It is by our [...]

The movement claims to be scientific, not religious… That distinction probably has more to do with [...]

Commenting on a random blog, II

1. You want to talk origin of the universe or evolution? When we’re talking origin we’re on almost equal footing — neither of us knows for sure, but at least science has natural, measurable, observable data on its side. In a universe in which scientists are imagining multiple universes the term natural has no meaning. [...]

We KNOW that muffins, jazz solos and the rest are all created by human hands (Mandy’s first attempts at muffins, and certainly my first jazz solos, were probably failures). There is no argument on tha…t point. Yes there is an argument, Darwinian creation myths can be imagined to explain human minds and hands in terms [...]

These are from way down in the comments section of this post. Still no definition of CSI in biological organisms, no examples of how to calculate such claimed CSI in biological organisms. I do not believe that the language of mathematics is necessary for people to understand the claim. Take the mouse trap example, it [...]
