Michael Flannery reviewed Evolution 2.0. I replied in “ID’s Blind Spot.” Michael then responded to my post in his comment #36.
Thank you, Michael, for your thoughtful remarks. Below are Michael’s questions in bold with my answers:
You seem to presume a lot about what “practicing scientists” hear and what …
I’m grateful for Michael Flannery’s less-than-favorable review of Evolution 2.0, because his review – and blind spots – exemplify why Intelligent Design, as promoted by the Discovery Institute, gets a black eye in higher education.black_eye_punch_mike_nelson_e
I’m not certain ID people understand how ID is perceived by the outside world – especially among practicing professional scientists.
Intelligent Design most certainly…
PZ Myers responded to my annotated transcript of our debate. If one only reads PZ’s blog, skips past my transcript and doesn’t read Barbara McClintock’s work, one might form the impression that he gave that poor naïve engineer Perry Marshall a sound thrashing.

Charles Darwin’s The Origin of Species had an unfortunate title. It was a great book for its time, and is roughly correct about what evolution looks like in the rear-view mirror. Though if you want to know how we actually get a new species, the explanation in there is very incomplete, at best. Natural selection…
The atheist community has become as dogmatic as the religions they attack. Internationally famous atheist Jerry Coyne heard about the publication of my book, Evolution 2.0. And he decided to write a review… After ONLY reading the Amazon.com book description. The gist of his review? “Move along folks, nothing to see here.” He couldn’t bear…
(Warning: This flies in the face of the mainstream understanding of Evolution from the likes of Richard Dawkins, Jerry Coyne, Bill Nye, and others.) I made sure my fight with atheists would be the opposite of a political debate. In the average political debate, the candidates take soft-pitch questions from friendly moderators, and easily get…
My brother and I grew up Creationists. He went to China to do missionary work, and within 4 years became a card-carrying Atheist.
This bugged me. We fought.
