It has worried me over the years to watch the focus of Uncommon Descent subtly shift from "What is the scientific evidence for/against evolution?" to "What awful things will happen to human society if people believe evolution?" But it is doubly disturbing to see one of the more blatant posts along the latter line being made by the ID author whose main claim to fame is writing an entire book about the subject of how evolutionists use ascientific modes of persuasion as a substitute for evidence-based testing of Darwin's theory.
