Not...

KL has left a new comment on your post "Watch it":

Why are you giving air time to the now throughly discredited Discovery Institute? They do no research, publish no scholarly articles, and try to push their propaganda into schools. (and lose court cases or get school boards overthrown when they do) I expected better of PBS.

Ben's response:

Bruce Chapman, who runs Discovery is a very intelligent man.

We had a vigorous debate between two panelists. It was fairly edited.

I think: It may well be that most people pushing Intelligent Design are creationists.

But, many people who believe in Intelligent Design are creationist. Einststein had an ID. Aristotle did. Sir Francis Bacon did. And so did Charles Darwin. He thought he knew how the world worked --- although he was religious. (Perhaps that disqualifies him.) I think not.

Also: Unless it is wholly egregious, it is my call, not that of PBS. Also: Public stations not affiliated with PBS run the program. PBS is primarily a distributor not a network that produces it's own shows. It is a bizaare system with a redeeming feature: It broadcast probably the best programs, perhaps anywhere.

Eek ! it is Friday the Thirteenth, Superstitous? Not, Not, Not, Me, Me , Me...
