Does anyone take this journal seriously? I note that it has a lot of pro-Intelligent Design articles, that it comes out of Biola University, and that those articles by Mr. Peter Stephen Williams seem to take the Discovery Institute spin on ID at face value.
Also, I don’t really give a stale cookie what philosophers of religion might say about Dembski’s Specification when competent mathematicians do not take Dembksi’s work seriously and insist that his concept of specification is incoherent.
My impression is that Philosophia Christi is not a solid journal with solid credentials, but is merely intended to appear as such. If this really is the best that theistic philosophy can do, then it should be relegated to the Dark Ages. Reginald Selkirk
