DARWINIST DEAD ENDS

The Maverick Philosopher has a good critique of the primary argument that Richard Dawkins makes against theism in his new book The God Delusion.  Check it out here.  Meanwhile the Real Physicist reports back from a conference of the American Maritain Association at which such notable speakers as Father Edward Oakes and molecular biologist Michael Behe discussed whether or not Darwinist doctrine has been propounded to deny the existence of God.  Check that out here.  And today the Discovery Institute posted a "Human Events" article by John West about the academy's hostility to any challenge of Darwinist orthodoxy and the timidity of those who should be pressing for open scientific inquiry.  Click here for that.  As for the most recent thoughts of yours truly about Darwinism, go here.
