		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s an essay by Randal Rauser at &#8220;Christian Post&#8221; offering what&#8217;s termed a rebuttal to a criticism of an earlier essay. Rauser seems to be a run-of-the-mill &#8220;intelligent design&#8221; creationism (IDC) cheerleader. Rauser defends Dembski&#8217;s ideas early on. Joseph H. Axell posted a long rebuttal in the comment section of my article &#8220;Unintelligent arguments against [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The main petition regarding the Synthese disclaimer published in the January, 2011 issue was signed by 470 academics. It asked for a retraction of the disclaimer and additional information about the circumstances that led the Editors-in-Chief (EiC) to include it. The EiC have now provided a response to the main petition. I received no direct [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yes, this is yet another bit related to the Synthese flap. One of the issues still outstanding is whether the list of things the Editors-in-Chief have as misconduct includes notifying third-party complainers that the disclaimer was going into the print edition long before the print edition was available. They certainly failed to inform either the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just in case there&#8217;s any academics who haven&#8217;t gotten the word yet, there&#8217;s a petition going requesting four things of the Synthese Editors-in-Chief, including the retraction of the vague disclaimer that tarnishes the whole special issue on &#8220;Evolution and its rvials&#8221;. If you aren&#8217;t on board with one or more of the items, that can [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Professor Paul Giem, M.D., of Loma Linda University has a batch of video lectures online. One of them has him discussing the Synthese special issue on &#8220;Evolution and its rivals&#8221;, with special attention given to Prof. Barbara Forrest&#8217;s paper and Prof. Francis Beckwith&#8217;s response. Giem really, really doesn&#8217;t like Forrest&#8217;s article. At 28:49 into the [...]]]></description>

Jeff Shallit, my co-author on the paper in Synthese, weighed in with a brief comment: Apparently Prof. Laudan thinks it is justified, if editors have a problem with a single paper or two in a special issue, to issue a general disclaimer that potentially impugns the integrity of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mark Lance makes an excellent point over at &#8220;New APPS&#8221; concerning the Synthese disclaimer flap. I think it deserves more notice than simply being part of a longish stream of comments. So, all in all, I&#8217;m still looking for anything that is remotely a candidate for exclusion on the grounds of unprofessional rudeness. Again, if [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Synthese Editors-in-Chief issued a joint statement today about the disclaimer in the special issue. The closest approach to an apology was the following: Of course, there are lessons to be learnt from what happened regarding our internal procedures, and Synthese will do that. It&#8217;s a &#8216;Nothing to see here, move along&#8217; sort of thing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Chris Pincock at &#8220;Honest Toil&#8221; has a different take on the Synthese disclaimer issue. Pincock makes the argument that since the Editors-in-Chief have responsibility for the reputation of the journal, of course they would have to put a disclaimer on a special issue if they saw a problem. There&#8217;s nothing to do because the Editors-in-Chief [...]]]></description>

But something else appeared in the January issue with my paper. It was a disclaimer from the chief editors saying that unspecified papers published in that special issue [...]]]></description>
