Tim's comments on What if Evolution is Compatible with Design After All?

Perhaps. Though my recent experiences in seeing what passes for philosophy give me reason to question whether “civilized” and “philosophical” are incompatible terms. These days I often see “philosophical” used to mean “I am talking out of my arse, and I have and need have no basis for the things I say about the world.” This precise phrasing might be rejected, but the sentiment is clearly near and dear to many hearts.
