Notes on (notes on) a Review

Over at the ever interesting site, Prosblogion, the bloggers are restless. Trent Daugherty of Baylor has authored a post devoted to attacking a recent NDPR review of Bradley Monton's recent work, Seeking God in Science: An Atheist Defends Intelligent Design.

The author of the NDPR review is one Sahotra Sarkar. Anyone who knows me well should know that I am not one of Sahotra's admirers. I suppose the nicest thing I could say of the fellow is that his philosophical competence is matched only by his emotional petulance. That said, the review, while admittedly snarky, was much more even-handed than it might have been. I made some comments to that effect. The "analysis" offered by Daugherty was really quite poor. I'm awaiting reaction.
