新!: 創造論者的網站
為何要特別建立這個題目﹖
支持神創論/智慧設計論陣營的策略﹐是用從事科學研究界裡面的人支持他們﹐利用大眾對科學內部複雜的分科的不理解﹐利用大眾對科學家權威的信服﹐宣揚他們的謬論。
他們隱藏自己對神創論/智慧設計論的立場﹐利用科學的外衣﹐假裝探討科學﹐對進化論提出大量不成立的質疑﹐令對進化論不認識的人開始懷疑進化論﹐然後列舉大量看來言之成理的理由﹐宣揚神創/智慧設計。最理想當然是自己打好基礎﹐就可以識別他們的謬論﹐但同時我們需要留意別人引用的立場﹑資料是出自那裡。
我們本來不想做到好似要標籤人﹐或者因人廢言﹐但在討論﹑辯論裡面﹐隱藏自己立場﹐假裝是一個支持科學的做法殊不光明﹐所以製作這個網頁﹐讓大家知道﹐當老師﹑學校﹑某人用這些人的言論﹑資料﹐就要留神他們言論。
同時﹐有人誤信的話﹐也可以作為警告。
科學家也反對進化論﹖
為何從事科學研究的人也會支持不科學的神創論/智慧設計論﹖因為他們從事的科研可能和進化論等範疇是很少關係﹐同時他們多數年輕時代已經是接觸這些宗教觀點﹐或者受到人灌輸宗教觀點﹐基於宗教信念﹐會相信神創論/智慧設計論﹐拒絕進化論。
同時﹐他們也成立好像科學團體的組織﹐自稱“研究院”﹑“研究中心”﹑“學院”﹐等公眾以為他們是學術團體﹐去宣揚神創論/智慧設計﹐掩飾他們的背後的宗教議題﹐在公眾輿論製造聲音。
但當他們正式地要從科學觀點﹑用科學方法替神創論/智慧設計辯護﹐或者提出對進化論的質疑﹐都會被認識進化論﹑熟悉科學方法的人反駮得體無完膚。
這些名單是從他們公開的言論得來﹐或者有個人接觸而知道的。如果部份在名單上的人和團體對我們的評論有異議﹐表示自己不是支持神創論/智慧設計論陣營﹐可以電郵我們要求更正。
支持神創論/智慧設計論的代表人物/團體
在他們圈子裡面﹐比較知名的人有﹕
Michael Behe 巴希
Jay Richards
Guillermo Gonzalez
Stephen C Meyer
William A Dembski
Philip E Johnson 詹腓力
他們的名字可以在 Discovery Institute (www.discovery.org) 和 Center for Science & Culture, 兩個宣揚神創論/智慧設計論的組織找到。兩個組織都不是科研組織﹐沒有一個曾經發表過討論進化論﹑經過科學界評審的學術研究報告。此外﹐所謂超過幾百個科學家反對進化論的“達爾文異議”(Dissent from Darwinism http://www.dissentfromdarwin.org/) 也是他們的傑作。
香港方面﹐已知道宣揚神創論/智慧設計是科學﹐和質疑進化論的人士包括﹕
Dr. Christopher Beling / Chris Beling 比林博士- 香港大學物理系教授
Dr. Teik-Khiang GOH - 吳德強﹐科技大學生物系副教授
Prof. Stephen K.W. Tsui - 徐國榮教授﹐中文大學生化教授
浸會大學宗教及哲學系賀志勇博士
Dr. Pauline Chiu - 趙寶貽﹐香港大學化學系副教授
中國方面﹐有﹕
錢錕博士﹐常以基督徒科學家自居[1]
吳宣倫博士﹐以美國華裔科學家自居﹐自稱是美國加州柏克萊大學的教授 Adjunct professor﹐還說自己在德州儀器﹑惠普電腦任職擔任研究職位﹐在德州儀器年代說自己有參與研發全球第一部手提計算機
下列是已經知道宣揚神創論/智慧設計是科學﹐和質疑進化論的團體。由於神創論/智慧設計本身有基要派基督教的根源﹐所以都是基督教背景團體﹐部份宣揚神創論/智慧設計論的老師學校往往邀請這些機構的人和利用他們的材料。團體包括﹕
真証傳播 - 曾經邀請 Dr. Chris Beling 主持講座﹐講論智慧設計
影音使團 (2004年曾經高調宣揚在土耳其發現梛亞方舟遺跡)
中信月刊 - 中國信徒佈道會 (不要和上市公司中信集團混淆﹗)
而涉嫌和表明會在科學堂教導智慧設計﹑神創論的學校或者辦學團體 (包括他們的學校)有﹕
中華基督教會 (屬下27所中學)
香港神託會所辦的學校
匯基書院
新生命教育協會的學校﹕基要派教會平安福音堂的辦學團體。此教會立場反對進化論﹐相信神創論。
新民書院
葵涌循道中學
New!: creationist websites
Why do we create this topic ?
It is not our intention to try labeling people, judging someone guilty by their association, let alone argumentum ad hominem.
However the hard reality is that Creationists and Intelligent Design Proponents often hide behind veils. Their favorite tactics is to become a practioner in a science discipline or a teacher of natural sciences, sometimes not necessarily related to the field regarding biological evolution and its related areas of speciality. Under the disguise, they will ernestly talks about Intelligent Design as though it is a valid scientific theory and exploits people's trust in teachers or scientists. They can pull out a lot of sensible looking ideas, data or facts to try and create an impression of thoughtfulness and being very knowledgeble. In fact many facts of evolution are either withheld or distorted.
Even scientists are against evolution?
To be honest, not many people in the public are really familiar with the myriads of discipline in natural science and applied science. The public often confuse the two and those many disciplines within.
So the Creationists and ID Proponents will often pose themselves as thoughtful scientists, keep a tight lip on their viewpoints on Intelligent Design/Creationism, dress in the outer look of science, and pretend to "explore new ideas in science" by launching attack to evolution, especially before those who are not well informed, and once those people harboured doubts with evolution, they then feed them with "their ideas", "explanations" etc. , which sounded sophisticated, thoughtful, to promote Intelligent Design/Creationism.
In an ideal world if all people have a good grasp of evolution, it is not a problem. Yet today there are so many confusing information, and Creationists and ID Proponents often hide their agenda, we have to be cautious and aware of where the person is coming from.
In a debate or discussion, concealing your own stance is not a honest way to debate, therefore we created this list for Hong Kong people, who may not be familiar with the controversy, to be aware of the source of the words, books and materials used by teachers/schools.
These people will also set up organizations, calling themselves "Institues", "Research center" etc. to create an impression of being a scholastic organization, but in fact to promote psuedoscience, and manufacture "public opinion".
Yet when challenged to provide scientific evidences and published peer-reviewed scientific papers, they will all be flattened.
The list below are from publicly available information, their public remarks or personal knowledge. If anyone or organization named below disagreed and declare they are not Creationists and Intelligent Design Proponents, they may E-mail us to correct it.
List of known Creationists and Intelligent Design Proponents (people and organization)
The better known ones are:
Michael Behe
Jay Richards
Guillermo Gonzalez
Stephen C Meyer
William A Dembski
Philip E Johnson
You can find them on the official websits Discovery Institute (www.discover.org) and Center for Science & Culture, both being Creationist/Intelligent Design Proponents website (and their affiliates). None of the people there ever published any peer reviewed paper on scientific journals that actually supported Intelligent Design. A widely used list of "scientists" claiming to doubt evolution called "Dissent from Darwinism" (http://www.dissentfromdarwin.org/) is also their handiwork.
In Hong Kong we now have a few:
Dr. Christopher Beling / Chris Beling - Professor in HKU Physics Department
Dr. Teik-Khiang GOH - Associate Professor of Biology at HKUST
Prof. Stephen K.W. Tsui - Professor of Biochemisry (Medicine) in CUHK
Dr. Pauline Chiu - Associate Professor of Chemisty of HKU
China there are two we identified so far:
Dr. Paul Kwan Chien, a fellow of the Discovery Institute [1]
Dr. Daniel Wu, claimed to be an adjunct professor at U.C. Berkeley and held R&D positions at Hewlett-Packard and Texas Instruments, and claimed he was "involved" in the development of the world's first handheld calculator
Intelligent Design / Creationism has its roots from Fundamentalist Christianity, those in Hong Kong tend to be Christian organisations. These are known organizations that promotes Intelligent Design / Creationism as science and launched attack on evolution, and many teachers/schools will use materials from them or invite people affiliated with them:
Gospel Communication Center (GCC) - they organized a talk where Dr. Beling was invited to speak about Intelligent Design
The Media Evangelism Limited (famous for its claim in 2004 that they "discovered" remains of Noah's Ark in Turkey)
CCM Christian Mission, and their monthly called CCM Monthly
We also have individual schools and educational organizations, allegedly or have make it clear they will teach Intelligent Design / Creationism as "alternative" to evolution in science class:
Stewards
Christian Church of China
United Christian College
NLSI (so far cannot locate its fullname) - education body affiliated with a local Fundamentalist church Peace Evangelical Church, which is anti-evolution and promotes Creationism
Newman Catholic School
Kwai Chung Methodists College
