Some links for my reference and yours

In light of dslartoo's post on recent legislation in Mississippi to allow for Intelligent Design to be taught along side of Evolution, here are some links to consider:

More Links on Evolution and Intelligent Design

I recently had the opportunity to discuss 'intelligent design' with one of the major proponents of the "theory," a Senior Fellow of the Discovery Institute, Dr. Stephen Meyer. Dr. Meyer is also the Director of the Institute's Center for the Renewal of Science and Culture, which has subsequently been renamed to the less informative--and less honest--Center for Science and Culture. The occasion of the encounter was the taping of an episode of Faith under Fire, a new television talk show hosted by Lee Strobel, the self-professed "ex-atheist" and author of such books as The Case for Christ.

I got to bash Intelligent Design and Bill O'Reilly in a single stroke in class today. We're covering Karl Popper's falsification theory of science and I used this dialogue (http://evolutionblog.blogspot.com/2005/01/oreilly-again.html) from 'the factor' to broach the topic of intellegent design and why it's not scientific, according to Popper.

I pitched it to them as though O'Reilly was actually a comic genius, masterfully engaging in Socratic Irony, rather than, as he may appear to the untrained eye, a moron suffering from rectal-crainial inversion who has no clue what he's talking about.

Oh very nice!

This issue is being bounced around in another friend's journal. What have you heard about the book "A Case for a Creator" by Lee Strobel?

Can't say I've heard of it. I know a number of the larger creationist 'thinkers' but I don't think I've heard of him before I read that post.
