YEs Glen appears to be a supporter of science and will expose any bad science.
Stephen: The common denominator in all these Christian apologists who Glenn
attacks is not that they are "against science" but that they are against
*evolution*.
I would say that the common denominator is that they are using bad science.
Stephen: The problem is that evolution (ie. macrevolution) does not fit the testability
criteria of the standards:
But it is testable.
"A theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural
world that can incorporate observations, inferences, and tested hypotheses.
Scientific explanations must meet certain criteria.
* They must be logical.
Evolution
* They must be consistent with experimental and/or observational data.
Evolution
* They must be testable by scientists through additional experimentation
and/or observation.
Evolution
* They must follow strict rules that govern the repeatability of observations
and experiments."
Evolution
Stephen: This problem of how to control the teacher who is an evolutionary zealot
seems insoluble, unless either: 1) evolution is not taught; or 2) the
curiculum guarantees that the philosophical assumptions and weaknesses of
evolution are also taught.
And how does one control a YEC zealot teacher?
