you see the part in his blog where he claims that higher animals can be found with lower animals in the geological columns? blog.drwile.com/?p=12162I think Dr. Wile's review is a perfect example of the dishonesty needed to push creationism. For example, Dr. Wile completely misrepresents what "uniformitarianism" is. Dr. Nye correctly defines it.

That is pretty bad.
"One of the ways evolutionists deal with the problem is to simply deny what the fossil clearly indicates. For example, in 2006 the journal Science published a paper entitled, A Nearly Modern Amphibious Bird from the Early Cretaceous of Northwestern China."-Dr. Wile
I guess he didn't know that the Cretaceous is not the lower part of the animal fossil record. We don't find amphibious birds in the Cambrian or Carboniferous. How does Dr. Wile explain that?

I agree with the reviewer here. The first order of business will be learning what they are, not what they once were.p.8: Nye says, When we go seeking life elsewhere, the whole idea of what to look for, and where to look for it, will be guided by our understanding of evolution. Thats not even close to true. It will be guided by our understandings of biochemistry, metabolism, genetics, etc. An evolutionist and creationist would look in exactly the same places for extraterrestrial life.
p. 8: Nye repeats something he has said before: proving that there is life on another world would surely change this one. However, thats not clear at all. Not long ago, I asked my reader what they thought of this kind of statement (
Again I agree with the reviewer. Mr. Nye seems unaware that many Christians have no theological problems with extraterrestrial life.http://blog.drwile.com/?p=12996), and all who responded said it wouldnt change much of anything.
I know this is false from personal experience. I'm a creationist and have also experienced the joy of personal discovery in the field of acoustics.p. 10: Of kids who are brought up on creationism, Nye says, Not only that, these kids will never feel the joy of discovery that science brings. That is demonstrably false. I have several students who took my courses and are now scientists. They are feeling the joy of discovery that science brings, and many of them attribute their desire to become scientists to my creationist textbooks!
Again I agree with the reviewer. Mr. Nye seems unaware that many Christians have no theological problems with extraterrestrial life.
Right, so I think Mr. Nye is mistaken if he thinks that the discovery of extraterrestrial life would threaten Christianity. In fact, in the Bible there are already descriptions of extradimensional life, and intelligent life at that. We already know that we're not alone.Many christians have no theological problems with evolution, a mythical flood, or an old Universe.

Jennae-
So do you now agree that the "review" you posted is filled with errors so egregious that they must be due to incompetence or dishonesty?
Do you think that promulgating such incompetence/dishonesty helps the cause of Christ?
Or are you so embarrassed by the "review" you posted that you are avoiding discussion of it?
Chetsinger -
To move away from hypothetical discussions where we don't have data (aliens), what do you think of the dishonesty/falsehood exposed in the "review" so far on this thread? Do you think this "review" helps the cause of Christ?
Papias
Nope not embarrassed at all.
I know Dr. Wile from conferences I've attended. I'm merely passing on everyone's thoughts and asking for clarification. He's a very intelligent man with integrity. If he is in error, he will make changes.
If he is intelligent and has integrity, why does he have to use misinformation and outright lies to back his arguments?
Because God exists, for one. But also because he created other intelligences in addition to creating us. We're just one piece of a large mosaic.How do you know we are not alone?
