Re: Best arguments against post-modernism?
Also worth reading is Sokal's book Fashionable Nonsense web page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fashionable_Nonsense). It is on the general abuse of science in PM writings.

Re: Why Is Only \"Micro Evolution\" Acceptable?
It's moot as Penrose's Godel idea ( by John Lucas before him) is wrong. I assume Sklansky is waiting to slam dunk all the theists with this, after he gets them to concede his evolution point.
