Scholarship: Christian slant: Great sources in 'An Accidental Blog'; latest post features economics philosphr Bob Goudzward

If you're a Christian with an active intellect, you may want to meet Dr Bob Goudzwaard, economist; and you may want to listen over his shoulder as he's interviewed by sociologist Bruce Wearne. All this on Steve Bishop's lively An accidental blog.

There's another I wouldn't want you to miss ... especially if you're science-minded or a science teacher who wants to keep up with this thematic ... that's blogger macht's prosthesis. A samplar: On Lakatos; and On Feyerabend; also On Questions - that's if you're after heavy-duty history of science or philosophy of science which impinge on questions of, gasp!, Intelligent Design ≠ Creationism (but, he notices nuancedly, there is a version of Creationism that accomodates to Intelligent Design). because ID is a long philosophical tradition beginning in William Paley's Natural Theology (Thomas Jefferson) and reformingly reformulated in James McCosh's The Method of Divine Government (1850). Along this line, note the following blog-entries that the Prosthesis search facility pulled up (in answer to my inquiry) from earlier blogs by macht.
