Young-Earthers are now unmistakably equivalent … to flat-Earthers, and proponents of Intelligent Design are equally out of touch.
About Rudwick
Collectively, his writings now comprise the most significant single-author corpus analyzing the history of the earth sciences. Rudwick brings his Christian faith to his scholarship.
Ralph Stearley
...Perhaps more importantly, “implacable opposition” sure sounds like conflict. This means that Rudwick’s own characterization of the relationship between creationism and Earth science is one of pretty resolute tension. Though he has conclusively shown why he thinks that religious and scientific viewpoints are not necessarily in conflict with one another, he is himself characterizing particular religious and scientific ideas about the Earth’s history as actually in conflict with one another—in this context at least. So his (occasional, concluding) move from the lack of an inherent conflict plus some historical partnership to one of little actual or current conflict is unsupported even on his own analysis.
