What does evolution have to do with biology? I never took biology but had the understanding/expectation that it had to do with physiology or “how things are”, not about origin of species?

What does evolution have to do with libertarian or the LD perspective? Can you point me to what was meant by libertarian academic mandates?

One of the responses on this episode seemed dismissive of micro-evolution. Why? And why was Intelligent Design part of the conversation with biology? I am not defending Intelligent Design but I.D. has more to do with “origin” than Darwinism does and has more chance to explain origin. Darwin’s theories cannot scientifically PROVE origin, so if the extrapolation validates evolution origin to ’science’, then I.D. is JUST as much science in that aspect, right?

I read a book (I’ll look up the title later if it matters) that talked about different types of evolutional theory, creationism and I.D, plus Bios Logos (which I actually thought was more of a cop out to get Evolution and Creationism to play nice together). Have you broadcast thoughts on that?

That’s just a brain dump to start my curiosity about you guys. Thanks.

I have only been listening to the Dime for a few months so I’m sorry to see it go. Can someone make any recommendations for other good Libertarian podcasts?

Thanks in advance,
Erik Turner

PS – I miss Firefly too.

I’ll be doing a small segment on tonigh’s show if you’re interested. Still, I would point out that I did mention on the show about the founding document of ID simply being search and replaced. I’ll have more details tonight.

The show’s length and format didn’t really allow me to go into depths of why ID is just warmed over creationism. I would point you to the document I mentioned in the show, where “Creation Science” was simply replaced with “Intelligent Design”, complete with search and replace mistakes artifacts.

Just saying “it’s creation”, listening to the guest, then saying, “it’s creation” again doesn’t mark the interviewer as brightest “dime” in the bag.

Listen to yourself. were you even agreed to the foundation before you built upon it? Poor form indeed.

It’s obvious that the interviewer was unclear on the contents of i.d. theory.
