Casey Luskin Editorial

Check out this editorial in the Washington Examiner by Casey Luskin. The title is “Let’s restore civility to the debate on evolution and intelligent design.”

Casey was superbly rational, reserved and eloquent, as usual. But check out the comments, which reveal trademark, frothing-at-the-mouth, apoplectic, near-convulsive, Darwinian-fundamentalist hysteria — which validates Casey’s thesis.

Why such hysterical, vulgar passion? I’ll let UD readers reach their own conclusions.

    I examined my soul with brutal honesty, and the analysis was not comforting.

    My soul was so black and dark.

    It could not be examined, without the light.

    When the light came, all darkness fled.

    Now that my soul lives in the light.

    My soul’s far reaches, the light illumes.

    No longer my soul, doth live in dread.

    Hi Gleaner,

    “It makes sense that, depending on what we think about the bible, from that will flow what we feel about the nature of God and salvation,”

    Well often that is the case, but it need not be. The OT turns a lot of people off, and sometimes Christian theologies turn people away, but that need not be. A lot of people reject the Bible but continue to believe in God and remain spiritually active and aware. It is a shame when people reject God along with the Bible or church. That’s known as throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

    This is (IMO) where the Holy Spirit comes in. The Holy Spirit can teach a person directly about the nature of God so that they don’t depend on the teachings of others so much.

    I’m in North Carolina.

    Hi Mung (@30)

    Well, Casey Luskin is, of course, based in Washington state and I assumed that is what you meant when you were questioning whether any of the commenters actually lived in Washington.

    ok, I grant that’s a reasonable assumption.

    And it really doesn’t make much of a point to question whether the commenters actually live in DC, since Casey doesn’t either.

    But I think it does, as that’s the basis of my point. Did they all just happen to be reading that article because it appeared in the local paper? I think not.

    Perhaps they all, by force of habit, do a daily google search on “Casey Luskin” to see if he’s written anything interesting to which they might wish to post an intelligent counter-argument. I think not.

    Actually, you’re pretty close there, at least in my case. Google News allows you to customise content, and I have chosen “Intelligent Design” as a news topic. I check Google news every day and that’s how I found the article – and I live in the South Pacific!

    I find Casey Luskin to be an excellent writer and I’ve started listening to the ‘ID the Future’ podcast which he often presents. He’s recently written exposes of common darwinist misrepresentations of the ID research movement:

    http://www.evolutionnews.org/2.....awkin.html
    In the latter of the two Mr Luskin also shows up another terrible example of darwinist incivility.
