Blurb Face-Off
11/17/2005
Here is a real announcement for an anti-ID speech in Irvine, California. In the commentary that follows, we have made a mirror image of it, creating a fictional ad circa 1860 for a speech against Darwinism. The reader can decide which one best fits the historical, cultural, and political developments related to ideas about origins.
Creationism in Camouflage: The “Intelligent Design” Deception
Dr. Keith Lockitch
Free Public Event
For decades creationists have sought to replace evolution with the Book of Genesis. But defenders of evolution have consistently prevailed in the schools and the courts of law. This struggle for intellectual survival has led to the evolution of a new “species” of creationist, better adapted to its inhospitable environment. The new Creationism goes by the name of “Intelligent Design” and poses a greater danger than old-style Creationism. In this talk Dr. Lockitch will examine the Intelligent Design movement focusing on its similarities and differences with standard creationism. By hiding its religious nature in a cloak of pseudo-science, the movement seeks to make itself more palatable to intellectuals and the general public. And because the collapse of philosophy has left today’s academics—including the most passionate and vocal defenders of evolution—incapable of answering its most fundamental arguments, the doors of our colleges and schools are ominously open to primitive mysticism masquerading as science.
And now, the flipside.
Atheism in Camouflage: The “Natural Selection” Deception
Dr. Key Unlocker
Free Public Event
For decades atheists have sought to replace natural theology with naturalistic stories of evolution. But defenders of creation have consistently prevailed in the schools and the courts of law. This struggle for intellectual credibility has led to the creation of a new “kind” of atheist, better skilled at subterfuge. The new Atheism goes by the name of “Natural Selection” and poses a greater danger than old-style Atheism. In this talk Dr. Unlocker will examine the Natural Selection movement focusing on its similarities and differences with older varieties of evolutionism. By hiding its atheistic nature in a cloak of unproved generalizations, the movement seeks to make itself more palatable to intellectuals and the general public. And because the collapse of strong churches has left today’s academics—including the most passionate and vocal defenders of natural theology—incapable of answering its most fundamental arguments, the doors of our colleges and schools are ominously open to unrestrained speculation masquerading as science.
