I hope Miller offers a public response to <I>Expelled</I>. He indicated he was interested in seeing it when he spoke here earlier this month, so I assume he has by now.Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17933545393470431585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33241741.post-48892579485928694202008-04-21T00:04:00.000-05:002008-04-21T00:04:00.000-05:00Nicely put, Martin. I added an additional comment...Nicely put, Martin. I added an additional comment about Richard Dawkins and also pointed Verity toward Ken Miller and Francis Collins, under the assumption that she--like me--probably has a Christian/theistic background.<BR/><BR/>I know the names had already been mentioned in the thread, but I think it's very helpful for Christians to hear other Christians talk about evolution. Although this weblog disagrees with their religious convictions, Miller and Collins are scientists who believe in God--completely shattering the Steinian claim that the so-called "institution of science" has an anti-religious agenda. Miller is an especially good public speaker and "framer" of science, and his pro-science attitude and message is more pleasant, loving, and ultimately Christian than the divisive, subversive Steinian call to hate and repel evolution on grounds of tradition.<BR/><BR/>I haven't heard Miller say much about Stein, Mathis, or Expelled on public record. While the film accuses him of being a Nazi sympathizer and uses dishonest tactics to smear his colleagues and his research, Miller, it seems, has chosen to turn the other cheek. If that kind of loving attitude isn't Christianity, then we shouldn't <I>want</I> to be Christians!paddling_ghosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06309920387989143468noreply@blogger.com
