“Let’s see them rip up Dr. Neto’s science papers… “

A reader, who quite possibly watches too much TV, was struck by these sentences in ENST’s reports on the meltdown among Brazil’s science courtiers when a talented scientist who is sympathetic to ID was appointed to a position assessing higher ed outfits: “A respected university scientist in the field of electrical engineering, Dr. Neto has more than 100 publications to his name. He also has an exceptional record as a leader in higher education in Brazil, the fifth most populous nation on Earth. ”

Anyway, a usually gentle reader writes to say, “If these flappers had any real courage of conviction, they would print sets of every one of the papers and proceed to tear them in half at press conferences, AAAS and Royal Society meetings, on BioLogos videos, etc. Come on Bill Nye! Richard Dawkins! Jerry Coyne! There must be grants for that sort of thing. Templeton? The bar for truth-telling in the public square has been dramatically raised this week.”

Presumably, he is referring to this incident. Pelosi practised her rip, apparently.

But for all those people to practise with 100 academic science papers? Just think of the envirowaste… Maybe it’s better for the environment if they just seethe inwardly. From their point of view, Benedito Neto should never have been allowed to publish papers anyway. Expect them to keep trying to get him and anyone like him.

Electrical engineers well understand design and feedback systems. It does not happen by chance. Noise is present and degradation as well as signal loss happen over time, aka devolution.buffalo

Here are some more papers for them to rip up:
BIBLIOGRAPHIC AND ANNOTATED LIST OF PEER-REVIEWED PUBLICATIONS SUPPORTING INTELLIGENT DESIGN https://www.discovery.org/m/2018/12/ID-Peer-Review-July-2017.pdf Evolutionary Informatics Lab - Main Publications http://evoinfo.org/publications/ Dr. John Sanford - Links to Selected Papers http://www.logosresearchassociates.org/john-sanford Bio-Complexity Publication Archive http://bio-complexity.org/ojs/index.php/main/issue/archive Biological Information New Perspectives Proceedings of the Symposium – July 2013 https://www.worldscientific.com/worldscibooks/10.1142/8818#t=toc Dr. David L. Abel (The Gene Emergence Project) - list of published papers http://lifeorigin.academia.edu/DrDavidLAbel/Papers
And let's not forget the many distinguished scientists at "The Third Way", and elsewhere, who, despite shunning ID, have none-the-less found Darwinian explanations to be grossly inadequate
