Epistemology versus Fantasy [mirror]

Barbara Forrest, a professor of philosophy at Southeastern Louisiana University was interviewed about "intelligent design" creationism. She has been a critic of intelligent design and the Discovery Institute, and testified as a key expert witness for the plaintiffs in the 2005 Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District trial..

Forrest "co-authored Creationism's Trojan Horse: The Wedge of Intelligent Design (Oxford University Press, 2004), with biologist Paul R. Gross. The book examines the goals and strategies of the intelligent design movement and its attempts to undermine the teaching of evolutionary biology. The authors analyze the absence of a scientific intelligent design hypothesis, ID's religious foundations, and the political ambitions of intelligent design proponents. They examine the movement's Wedge strategy which has advanced and is succeeding through public relations rather than through scientific research. They also highlight intelligent design creationism's relationship to public education and to the separation of church and state.

Forrest serves on the board of directors of the National Center for Science Education (NCSE), the Board of Trustees of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, and the New Orleans Secular Humanist Association (NOSHA)."

Great video!

I think it would be nice to mention who you mirrored it from, to show some respect to the original maker of the video. Don't you think?
