Coyne Replies...But We're Still Not Past "Shut Up"

His reply is here. He fails to comment on my invitation to a substantive in-person debate, and insists I was trying to tell him to “shut up.” All I can do is continue to note that this is false–and also that I don’t have any powers of censorship. I’m not the Church (the very idea is comical), and Coyne is not Galileo (among other things, Galileo was very religious). I’m on an article deadline but I will be posting my next (substantive) response to Coyne soon, which perhaps will get us past the censorship canard. Certainly this next piece, which focuses on science and religion in the Dover trial, and some points of philosophy, is fully substantive–though inevitably it also has strategic elements in it. It is already written, it just needs editing. More soon…
