Swamidass’ “central argument is that current science is fully compatible with many different theological positions on the historical Adam”

By Filings on Mon, 03/02/20
Body

“The core distinction between ‘genetic’ ancestry and ‘genealogical’ ancestry seems valid.

A Challenge to Evangelical Climate Scientist Katharine Hayhoe

By Filings on Wed, 02/05/20
Body

“The relative lack of messages from those doing science, or from good science journalists, leaves the marketplace open for messages from other sources and outlets that are talking about science. These sources generally have interests that are independent of science or are often increasingly opposed to science.” - Paul Lewis Metzger
