Ms. O’Leary,

The following song has always been a favorite of mine. I think you may enjoy it as well.

The title should read:

Baylor closes minds, defends Darwin against all options by denying any opposing viewpoints.

The Forbidden Equation*

[endogenous information] = [active information] + [exogenous information]

or:

[the information content of the entire search space] equals [the specific information about target location and search-space structure incorporated into a search algorithm that guides a search to a solution] plus [the information content of the remaining space that must be searched]

Gil says:
“….figuring out that Darwinian mechanisms are bankrupt as an explanation for what they attempt to explain is a trivial mathematical, evidential, and intellectual exercise.”

That, in a nutshell, is what really gets to me about this whole debate. There is no reason whatsoever to believe in any type of unguided process at work. It seems a complete disconnect from reality is required to adhere to Darwinism, yet here we have in Baylor *another* case where belief/dogma trumps reason/logic. It’s just so frustrating to watch, especially when you understand what the typical darwinist actually believes! Like yeah, proton-driven rotors just “happen” if you give chance and necessity enough time…pleezzzz.

I LOVE the “Enron of biology” line, Denyse! I wonder who plays the part of Ken Lay?

Gil,
Apparently that old adage “Its not what you know but WHO you know” is what is in play here for Pres. Lilley liver….
But this time it seems he may just have to face the music for what he doesn’t know about science!
Shoot, He might even get “EXPELLED” from his job.. LOL

The amazing thing is, figuring out that Darwinian mechanisms are bankrupt as an explanation for what they attempt to explain is a trivial mathematical, evidential, and intellectual exercise.

How does one become the president of a university with such a superficial understanding of basic science?

Oh not to worry. At least 77 people have been there already.
