The tyrannical orthodoxy of the Darwinian crowd is truly amazing. Herein the key charge by University of Texas professor Brian Leiter:
"The author of this incompetent book note [a review of Francis Beckwith's book on intelligent design]. . . is one Lawrence VanDyke, a student editor of the [Harvard Law] Review. Mr. VanDyke may yet have a fine career as a lawyer, but I trust he has no intention of entering law teaching: scholarly fraud is, I fear, an inauspicious beginning for an aspiring law teacher. And let none of the many law professors who are readers of this site be mistaken: Mr. VanDyke has perpetrated a scholarly fraud, one that may have political and pedagogical consequences (italics mine)."
Scholarly fraud? That is a pretty serious accusations and, from what I have learned of the science on the subject, clearly false. Has Leiter opened himself up to a libel claim? Have the devotees of Darwinism grown so concerned about the correctness of their own theories that they have to resort to the ad hominum in response to a challenge to the Darwinian citadel that takes seriously Darwin’s own methodology?
