The question of how new specified information arises in DNA, far from being an “enigma”, is one of great interest to biologists.

Waltke's work was based on a survey sent to members of the Fellowship of Evangelical Seminary Presidents and their faculty.

In doing so, he offers a critique of scientism, the assumption that scientific knowledge is all the real knowledge there is. scientism, the assumption that scientific knowledge is all the real knowledge there is.]]> Mon, 25 Apr 11 18:14:01 -0700 Ian Hutchinson http://biologos.org/essays/scientific-fundamentalism-and-its-cultural-impact?utm_source=RSS_Feed&utm_medium=RSS&utm_campaign=RSS_Syndication http://biologos.org/essays/scientific-fundamentalism-and-its-cultural-impact?utm_source=RSS_Feed&utm_medium=RSS&utm_campaign=RSS_Syndication Giberson's essay makes the case that scientific fundamentalists are not merely arguing for the supremacy of science but also presenting science as a quasi-religious replacement. The agenda of the "New Atheists" is not merely to refute mainstream religion but to replace it. Unfortunately, the scientific community is poorly represented by these aggressive public figures.
