Host William Buckley has once again invited Michael Kinsley, editor of the
on-line magazine Slate, to moderate. Buckley will join
other debaters arguing in favor of the resolution, "Resolved: The
evolutionists should acknowledge creation." All but one guest has
been chosen from the best-known anti-evolutionists, and the leading
defenders of evolution. Dr. Eugenie C. Scott, Executive Director of
the National Center for Science Education; Rev. Barry Lynn, Executive
Director of Americans United for Separation of Church and
State; philosopher Michael Ruse, author of But Is It Science? and Monad to
Man; and Kenneth R. Miller, Div. of Biology and Medicine,
Brown University. Buckley will be joined by law professor Phillip Johnson,
author of Darwin on Trial; biochemist Michael Behe, author
of Darwin's Black Box ; and mathematician David Berlinski, whose
anti-evolution article in Commentary drew considerable attention last
year. (Miller and Johnson have already participated in an online debate
sponsored by the television science series "Nova".)
The live broadcast of Firing Line will be at 8:00 PM Eastern time on
December 19; be sure to check your local listings for broadcast
