“No, Krish . . . we’re not playing God. We’re only attempting to set things right.”
Clyde DeSouza, Maya

William A. Dembski
“Regardless of one's point of view, it's quite easy to see that Darwinism is not in the same league as the hard sciences. For instance, Darwinists will often compare their theory favorably to Einsteinian physics, claiming that Darwinism is just as well established as general relativity. Yet how many physicists, while arguing for the truth of Einsteinian physics, will claim that general relativity is as well established as Darwin’s theory? Zero.”
William A. Dembski, Uncommon Dissent: Intellectuals Who Find Darwinism Unconvincing
