DAVID: This older article follows the same pattern I did as a physician, although I reached agnosticism before I turned around:-http://www.forbes.com/2009/02/06/neurosurgeon-intelligent-design-opinions-darwin09_0205...-Many thanks, David, for this article, which brilliantly sums up the case against chance, is a powerful indictment of the scientific establishment, is a tribute to the courage of its author, and should be compulsory reading for atheistic Darwinists. It's a pity he talks about "Darwin's theory of biological origins" as "atheism's creation myth", when he must know that Darwin's theory of evolution does not cover creation, but he is certainly right that "atheists defend their dogma with religious fervor". And one can only applaud his fair-mindedness in considering "religious explanations for biology to be unscientific at best, dogma at worst." If you hadn't told us he was a Catholic, this comment would have led me to welcome a fellow agnostic to the picket fence!
