The Chronicle: Colloquy: Responses

Per Abrahmson: Once again your formulations -- which I would term unfortunate (#305, #80, #65) -- are virtually unsubstantiated by data, and seem to express prejudices and biases so deeply seated that your judgment is clouded. The examples you give, in what one must hope is your last submission (#400), of ad hominem remarks, are very interesting, especially in light of your own various statements, such as criticism of the "robotic-like" remarks of critics of Intelligent Design.

Not one of your examples in submission #400 shows any abuse, whatsoever, of Todd Moody, whom you have claimed "...had to take all the abuse...." in this discussion. Further, there are a number of statements by people, including myself, praising Professor Moody, who have refuted a number of his arguments.

Our biological beastliness spawned our cultural greatness. But can our biological greatness save us from our cultural beastliness, asks David P. Barash, a professor of psychology at the University of Washington. (Password required; how to get one.)
