I love it! Gobucks, you have no idea how thoroughly this article discredits the creationist cause - by pointing out how your epistemological roots are hopelessly intertwined with leftist postmodernist nihilism. And yet you somehow think this vindicates creationism! LOLOLOLOL! Ah, this truly makes my day.

Such were my own thoughts when I came upon this thread. Normally I would have refrained from pinging the list to a gobucks-initiated thread, as the others I've seen are of no scientific value. But when I read this article, I swiftly deployed the ping list -- with a song in my heart! The author nails it!

From the article: "Conservatives were quick to point out the danger of this view [relativism] in the '80s and '90s. They argued that a science that rejected the idea of truth was vulnerable to the most inane forms of intellectual hucksterism. And they were right.

Whoa, reality check, please! New Republic is actually admitting that we were right about the perils of ding-bat relativism?

Has New Republic really published an intelligent article with which I find myself, in large measure, in accord?

And has gobucks actually posted said article, which makes the same compelling case I've argued--that ID is appalling chicanery, using liberal 'special pleading' to assault science and education, and thereby does great damage to genuine conservative issues?

Will you people please stop messing with my mind like this!

...Hey, hang on just a minute here...
