Okay, I've officially Been Living in Canada Too Long. (No offense to actual Canadians.) I saw "Coyne" and automatically thought of Andrew Coyne, a fellow rather well-known, -read, and influential up here, but dare I say few have heard of him below the 49th.

All right, let the firing commence.

From an article entitled, "Science and religion: Friends or foes?" by
Nan Cobbey
"Perhaps the Jesuit scholar Brother Guy J. Consolmagno, has the best idea about reconciling how we think about evolution and creation. “Science and religion are things we learn as children. For too many people, learning stops at 10. People are going through life with a 10-year-old’s knowledge of science and … a 10-year-old’s knowledge of religion.”

Consolmagno, a doctor of planetary science, says he believes people’s understanding of science and faith needs to change as they learn more. The two do not contradict each other, he insists. “People who want to use science to prove God did something are making a fundamental mistake … it makes science more important than God,” says the MIT graduate who divides his time between Rome, where he is the Vatican’s astronomer, and Tucson, Ariz., where he researches asteroids.

“Of course God did it,” he says. “I want to know how God did it.”

Stephen Barr did a much better job of taking down Schonborn (and also the atheist fundamentalists on the opposite side of the fence) in the latest First Things.

Mark,

Would you care to expound on or at least enumerate these blunders?

Well, of course Intellgent Design has such perfect theology it's hard to argue against it, isn't it:
