DAVID: Thomas Negal joins Barham in doubting Darwin:-http://www.evolutionnews.org/2012/08/noted_atheist_p063451.html-It's refreshing to hear of an enlightened atheist scientist who is prepared to acknowledge the gaps in the materialist argument. To what extent he "disses" Darwin (which is not the same as dissing the "Materialist Neo-Darwinian Conception of Nature") we shall have to wait and see, but I suspect he will accept some of Darwin's arguments and reject others, as we have done on this forum. -A quote: "Even if one is not drawn to the alternative of an explanation by the actions of a designer, the problems that these iconoclasts pose for the orthodox scientific consensus should be taken seriously." -Absolutely. He says he is an atheist, but methinks I detect the sweet scent of agnosticism.
