Tonight, as I was watching Reed as he woke up in the middle of the night (full happy awake – he has gas), I pulled The Structure of Scientific Revolutions off the shelf and began re-reading it.  I came across this insightful quote:

A few days ago, I posted a picture which I thought demonstrated the relationship between Modernism, Foundationalism, Fundamentalism, and Christianity.  I’d like to clarify what I am talking about there, here. And critique it.

My home church just stunted some of my nephew and nieces intellectual growth.  “Dr.” Sharp and his band of anti-history aficionados from the Creation Truth Foundation descended upon my home church [1] and mislead the students into the fallacy of recent earth creationism (REC).

There is a [...]
