Refuting Tad Cronn. Again.

Another essay posted by Tad Cronn was titled:

Darwin Day: Celebrating a mediocre theory.

It seems that Tad has blocked my account after I sent a pingback to him via my ‘Expelled’: An argument for ignorance post yesterday. Nice to see his staunch and unwaivering support of the principles of free speech, especially when he comes over as such a strong supporter of free speech in his review of Ben Stein’s creationist propaganda.

However, I had a response I very much would have liked to post on his ‘mediocre theory’ thread. Since that’s disallowed to me, I decided to stick it up here.

‘Expelled’: An argument for ignorance

Recently written by Tad Cronn:

If you haven’t seen Ben Stein’s movie “Expelled” yet, I highly recommend you take the opportunity….

Underlying all of the discussion is the theme that this conflict between evolution and ID theorists is less scientific in nature than it is religious, but Stein makes the case that it is atheism that is the religion being promoted…

The impulse in academic, political and media circles to declare debates closed, issues resolved and consensus established, while labeling the open-minded as “deniers” or “fringe,” is totalitarian in its essence and if ignored its practitioners will only become more prevalent and determined.

Tad… This is utter nonsense.

The Model for the Enlightened Cognition of Compassion

The Preface

Essays written on morality would have to be some of the most boring texts ever written. Every so often some twit out there in the world writing for a published magazine – or even an unpublished, non-peer-reviewed blog post such as this – gets up on their moral high horse and preaches to the masses about How The World Should Be More Moral.

It’s enough to make a thinking man sick.
