Tisthammerw's Science Page

The Nature and Philosophy of Science—This webpage examines the components, limitations, and popular mistaken beliefs of science and the scientific method. It also contains a section on scientific legitimacy. I originally wrote this heavily researched paper in high school and updated it some when I was getting my degree in computer science. Consequently it is not my best philosophy work but for the nonce it remains here and I think it has some useful info.

Book reviews on the creation-evolution dispute.—This is acutually a subsection of Tisthammerw's book reviews.
Creation, Evolution, and the book of Genesis—Hopelessly incomplete, but there it is.
Creationism and the Second Law of Thermodynamics: Science and Anticreationist Misconstruals—The creationist argument of the second law contradicting evolution has been widely misunderstood (I have seldom seen anyone attack the actual creationist position). Although I am not exactly enthusiastic about this argument against evolution, I think people should stop misconstruing it.
The Pseudoscience of Archaeology—No, I don't think archaeology is a pseudoscience. This article pokes fun at irrational criticisms of intelligent design theory (the theory an intelligent designer created life on earth). Intelligent design theory may well be mistaken, but I believe that some unfortunately popular objections like those parodied here are not successful.
