Eugenie Scott v Ray Comfort Pt. 2

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

As I reported a few days ago, evangelist and armchair evolution critic Ray Comfort has engaged in debate with Dr. Eugenie Scott of the National Center for Science Education.  Their exchange has been posted at US News and World Report.  Here’s the second and final round.  First, Ray Comfort trots out more of the same old nonsensical blither-blather, then Scott finishes him off in her closing statement.

Look for Comfort’s minions soon at a major university near you–they’re giving away copies of Darwin’s Origin of Species with a 50-page “introduction” by Comfort.  Aren’t you lucky?

Eugenie Scott v Ray Comfort

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

In this corner…Ray “The Atheist’s Nightmare” Comfort, evangelical nutjob and world renowned banana theorist, defending his publication of a heavily abridged edition of On the Origin of Species–with a special introduction that smears Charles Darwin as a racist, misogynist and proto-Nazi.

And in this corner…Dr. Eugenie C. Scott, executive director of the National Center for Science Education, taking Comfort to task for his disingenuous and factually challenged claims.

You know who’s gonna win this one.

We talk to Dr. Eugenie Scott, executive director of the National Center for Science Education (NCSE) about the recent action by the Texas Board of Education [www.tea.state.tx.us/sboe] that places three creationists on the six-member committee that reviews science standards [link].  How damaging could this move be to the rest of the country?
