Stephen C. Meyer | The Ben Shapiro Show Sunday

Hmm. I could put stock in the writings of Stephen Meyer, a philosopher and historian with degrees in physics—or I could consider what accomplished Ph.D. biologists, paleontologists, and anatomists have to say about evolutionary processes.

Because I find peer-reviewed science the safer bet, I’m going to look to the actual experts to educate me on these topics.


POSTSCRIPT: I suppose this thread is starting to head into “piling on” territory—but that is how piles and piles of compelling evidence tend to work. Meyer’s Darwin’s Doubt has been out for many years now and it was a complete failure at presenting any evidence or analysis that made any sort of dent in the massive evidence which supports our understanding of evolutionary processes. Meyer writes books for the general public because he knows that he can’t make a competent case for his yet to be adequately defined “ID theory” that could ever pass editorial peer-review and get published in any well-regarded academic journal. (Of course, the Discovery Institute has long promoted various legislative strategies—such as “academic freedom” state laws—in hopes of achieving by political means with the general public what they can’t achieve in the rough-and-tumble, evidence-based world of scientific peer-review.)
