Entry: What's So Scary About Evolution?--For Both Left and Right, a Lot Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/whats_so_scarry_about_evolution#26938 Post contents: Dear Mr. Derbyshire, Your article offers a lot of food for thought. Regarding your classification I do wonder about the following: the Christian fundamentalist (Creationist) view essentially rejects anything biological that contradicts a strict literal interpretation of the Bible. As far as I understand, some proponents of ID (one can also call them theistic evolutionists) accept (at least in principle) empirical data provided by science but draw a conclusion that is different from the available information as do scientific materialists (or deistic evolutionists) regarding the "big picture", or regarding the why, instead of the how. Would not that actually mean that Christian fundamentalists (or Creationists) are in many ways further from Darwinists than ID proponents (at least in agreeing, more or less, on the how, but disagreeing on the why, which at least in my view is outside the scope of science)?
