No I shouldnât think you are being blind JB, it is par for the course that ID'ers like Tele, in the role of an apologist for Behe and Dembski, will adopt their declared tactics .. That is to say, choose to be unclear, use distractions, diversions misrepresentations, controversy , deceit, slight of hand, denial or plain lie, as they find nothing else (like science, fact, reality or truth) will support their beliefs
Quote from Teleologist:
Intelligent design has nothing to do with religion.
Show me where either Dembski or Behe incorporate theology into their hypotheses.
Letâs be clear. Neither Behe or Dembski have a hypothesis to which Teleologist refers, infers, or wishes they had,. They do not hold any
scientific hypothesis.
IDâists say hypothesis , when actually the âhypotheses" put forward by them, are no better than those which could be made for Unicorns, or Odin ...
Cold Fusion is more of a scientific hypotheses,⦠and it isnât one!
That sort of tactic, where misrepresentation is used to create controversy or confusion, is the keystone of IDâs whole approach . Teleologist would pretend Dembski / Beheâs âhypothesesâ are scientific hypotheses, which are not about an Intelligent Designer Creator., and do not include theology. The approach is to masquerade âhypothesesâ as scientific, although they are patently no such thing.
You see, in doing that , Behe / Dembski and their worshppers like Teleologist, from then on so to persist, decide to deny and ignore the simple fact that those "hypothesis" cannot get past the bullshit filter, when actually looked at in any scientific terms.
As hard as Behe & Dembski have tried, no scientific basis or consensus for any part of their "hypothesis" has ever stood ground in science - in any way whatsoever.. therefore deceit and denial has been selected as part of their overall strategy.
Keep that in mind , whilst considering Behe and Dembski are senior fellows of the Discovery Institute's Center for the Renewal of Science and Culture. Now letâs consider more "hypothesis" they came up with. Ones on which are the foundation which all their other "hypotheses" rest upon. Ones which I ( and others) have already pointed out
"â¦.reverse the stifling materialist world view and replace it with a science consonant with Christian and theistic convictions" and to "affirm the reality of God."
â⦠the Center explores how new developments in biology, physics and cognitive science raise serious doubts about scientific materialism and have re-opened the case for a broadly theistic understanding of nature.
âTo replace materialistic explanations with the theistic understanding that nature and hurnan beings are created by God.â
Those are the same value of âhypothesesâ as any other they have tried to profess are scientific. Their âhypothesisâ are merely messages expressing opinions based on incomplete information.
Would you agree JB, their âhypothesesâ have nothing to do with theology.?? Or would you argue those are not âhypothesesâ as Teleologist might do?
At best Teleologist is relying on a disingenuous argument that allows for Behe / Demski to make some ID âhypothesesâ without containing the word God or Creator, in order to state - â their hypothesis donât contain theologyâ.
That, to put it politely, is being in selective denial of the actuality..
Like saying the Pope is not catholic when discussing which frock he should wear.
Quote from Teleologist:
Cite one example where it has been shown that Dembski and Behe incorporate theology into their hypotheses.
I suggest you enquire of Tele why he did not directly address
these âhypothesesâ or
these or
these ,
(down the page)which he is in denial of, and in doing so, turns his argument into a deceit and lie.
His answer?â¦letâs speculate⦠He is being deceitful, therefore he will say I am the one being deceitful .
That JB, would be another ID type âhypothesisâ , pretty much on the same level as all the rest.
