A reader writes to mention this program:

BioLogos INTEGRATE is a resource for exploring biology from a Christian worldview. It presents consensus science in conversation with biblical faith. Designed for classroom teachers and home educators, INTEGRATE can be used alongside any biology curriculum, or even on its own. The content emphasizes virtues such as wonder, humility, and wisdom. It also addresses common questions and concerns related to bioethics, creation care, origins, and other topics. INTEGRATE helps Christian young people grow in their faith in Christ, as they develop a deeper love and stronger understanding of the world God has made. Integrate

Consensus science? In an age of Sokal hoaxes and scandals and wars on math, and science, where the “consensus” is slowly morphing toward destruction?

But yup. And with a straight face too.

In the real world, this is not the time to be buying into “consensus” but to be advocating reform.

Hat tip: Ken Francis, co-author with Theodore Dalrymple of The Terror of Existence: From Ecclesiastes to Theatre of the Absurd

See also: “Avalanche” of retractions of research papers on spider personalities. It will be interesting to see what impact the retractions have on claims about the evolution of animal behavior.

How many of those things required the socio-political assumption that matter is all there is, Ed?
Neither does evolution, so I fail to see your point.Ed George

None of them.
True. None. But materialism is a cult. Critical thinking is not welcome.
"Naturalism cannot escape its own epistemological nightmare—a nightmare directly caused, not by natural science itself, but by illicitly attempting to identify natural science with the false philosophy of materialism. " Dr. Dennis Bonnette

Yet it has given us nuclear physics, quantum mechanics, insulin, heart transplants, chemistry, agricultural practices, safe air transit, ... I think I will stick with the current scientific process until something better comes along.Ed George

Like every other characteristic of organizations, this was described sharply and completely by Parkinson. The law of convergence: When an organization reaches a certain size, it converges to the current fashion and loses the UNIQUE purpose that drove its founders to start an organization.polistra
