Entry: The Right's Science Problem Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_rights_science_problem#17266 Post contents: It is a doctrine of the Christian religion that "as the tree falls ,so must it lie'. The preface to On the Origin of Species contains copious references to the races of mankind , for it tries to acknowledge every extant work on the subject- including his uncle Erasmus and , tellingly, the already published views of Herbert Spencer, which are so often erroneously elided with those of the singularly un-judgmental -and vehemently Abolitionist-Darwin. Speaking of deadwood, Don has hit the petard button with his link to a creationist illiterately invoking the 1.5% chemical environment shift in the 53 minute electron capture half life of beryllium-10. What a splendid illustration of the ease of refinement of isotope dating! Those who deem so dim a fib an insult to the honor of God are at liberty to pray for both Don and his preterite dis-informants. Readers with a broader view of science may also enjoy learning of how even the traces of nitrogen in quartz now allow purely inorganic rocks to be carbon dated -- http://adamant.typepad.com/seitz/2008/01/viking-funeral.html Sent at: 2008 07 20
