WHY ALWAYS ASSUMING?

So why does a study into the learning abilities of 2 year-old children compared to other primates automatically mean that there are Darwinists out to prove that God doesn't exist? These illogical leaps from Pastor Tom are not only tiring but exceedingly unfair. I don't know what the motivation of the researchers was and I'm sure Tom doesn't know either. But I can imagine the researchers wanting to explore what factors impact a young child's learning. Their research may be misguided or lacking substance, but it is totally unfair to accuse them of presupposing that there is no God or that they are out to prove that.

Blog you later,

Wow, even for EYW, that is quite a leap. I continue to be baffled by why this program doesn't highlight a homeless shelter in Worcester or why it doesnt honor our soldiers by asking the president and local pols to bring our men and women home. This topic is so off the mark and trivial that it makes you wonder if the show is planned out at all, or if it's an ad-hoc affair devoted to the one mind of one man. I know that sounds unfair, but it may time for a sounding board at WVNE.

EYW the show and EYW the blog only rarely address the same topic. My daily posts here are in response to EYW the blog and on occasion I add a comment on EYW the show. This post is in response to the blog, I don't know if he covered in on the show.

It wasn't a Worcester homeless shelter, but it was a fascinating story about a homeless shelter on today's show (i.e., Monday). It was well worth hearing.
