Apparently I\u2019ve been banned from posting on the Uncommon Descent blog<\/a>. Disagreement and questioning is apparently unwelcome there.<\/p>\n

Although my aim was to point out problems in their arguments and hopefully prevent some people who were as yet undecided from being deceived, this too says something about that blog. I don\u2019t think I was ever rude (although I was sarcastic at times, as always). I just articulated a different viewpoint and tried to engage in intelligent discussion (perhaps that was my mistake). I\u2019ve never seen anyone get banned from a science-related discussion forum<\/a> for anything other than obscenity and other similarly inappropriate behavior. Can we take this as yet another piece of evidence that Uncommon Descent is not a site that, like Intelligent Design in general, is not about science<\/em>?<\/p>\n
