And here is the rebuttal.
Quote:My response has been two-fold. First, I have incorporated new material into the original essay that specifically addresses many of Camp's points, and thus much of his response is now superfluous. Second, in the following sections I rebut the more egregious errors found in Camp's criticism, especially ones that would interrupt the flow and thrust of the original article if they were included there.
Quote:Mr. Camp's critique is error-ridden in various ways, and is primarily characterized by:
Straw man arguments
Red herrings
Self-contradictions
Equivocation
Two wrongs make a right
Fallacies of accident and converse accident
Ignoratio elenchi
Naive theological assumptions
Insufficient knowledge of basic biology, molecular biology, biochemistry and genetics
Misunderstanding of the scientific method
Forwarding of untestable competing "hypotheses"
Mischaracterization of evolutionary theory
Misleading mis-quotes
Fallacies of accent
Distortion of scientific controversies
Arguments from authority
False analogies
The repeated use of these errors and others in Camp's "Critique" will be abundantly clear in the following rebuttal.
