Bill's Comments

I generally enjoy Ann Coulter, not for depth and intellectual accumen of her commentary, but for her excellent invective. Generally, if one wants to see insults at their best, she is a great examplar. However, today's column, "The flash mob method of scientific inquiry" as read in the Jewish World Review shows that she would be best off keeping her commentary to political matters.

Despite her desires otherwise, Intellegent Design is not a valid counter to the Theory of Evolution. That the theory of evolution has places where it is weak, is true. That is not the same as disproof. In trying to discuss a topic obviously outside her area of competence, she has lowered her standing in my eyes. Her bold pronouncement

In fact, however, it has not been advances in Christianity (which is pretty much settled), but in science that have completely discredited Darwin's theory of evolution.

This week, we will consider one small slice of the mountain of scientific evidence disproving this mystery religion from the Victorian age.

shows a tremendous ignorance of history of Christianity, the history of science, and the theory of evolution. She then presents a summary of Intellegent Design theory that is based on a major misuse of statistics and chemistry.

Ann, you suddenly lived down to the blond stereotype.
