Why I support Kenneth R. Miller in the One Big Argument.
Having now completed reading Kenneth R. Millers Only a Theory
I will explain why I support his position in this debate and why he should be listened too.
What impressed me was his two prong attack on the Creationists and Intelligent Design:
- The evidence that contradicts the claims of ID and Creationism, such that there are no claims that stand up under even the minimum scrutiny.
- His support of Religion, even as a Evolutionary Biologist who is a practicing Roman Catholic. I am not a Catholic, however his position is one I take up against the New Atheists.
If you have ever wandered whether the Carbon Dating method is correct and why it is so, the all you need to do is read his essay in Science and Creationism, Ashley Montagu, 1984, OUP, p18 – 63, where he covers the Carbon 14 method first and its assumptions and then explains how it is supported by the Rubidium to Strontium decay, and therefore the C14 assumptions are verified. All because the various relative quantities between the three Strontium isotopes and Rubidium are constant and can be consistently mapped. He does this with a demonstration. It clears up the question for me with bells on and should be the gold standard for debating these Creationists.
Then we move on to Only A Theory where he covers a number of the more alleged objections from the more recent Intelligent Design crowd. They are:
- Bacterial Flagella:
- Information, The Conservation and the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics
- Predictions concerning Man (Homo Sapiens) relationship to Chimpanzee (Pan Troglodyte Troglodyte).
- The Human Globin Gene.
The lies and plagiarism of the ID set has really shown how bankrupt they are, and they all need to be held to account just like the hapless souls in Dover Pennsylvania who tried to introduce creationism in a public school, Dover Area High School, and denied and lied to a Federal Court Judge. Such things are unchristian to say the least, after all, bearing false witness is a sin mentioned in the Ten Commandments.
