The standard objections to induction are reviewed, and this leads to the conclusion that the supposed 'riddles' of induction are an artifact of the application of classic two-valued logic in domains in which it is inappropriate. Four logically distinct domains are explored, while progressively relaxing the restrictions essential for the valid application of CL, viz, pre-existing, guaranteed systems of classification, fixed antecedent/ consequent relationships, and congruent values/ paradigms. Natural kinds, fuzzy logic, and problem structure resolve the grue and raven paradoxes, and support an enriched concept of rationality. The implications for the definition of science are explored, and the relativist position is rejected.

In "The Blind Watchmaker," atheist Richard Dawkins proclaimed, "Darwin made it possible to be an intellectually fulfilled atheist." Now, with the paperback release of Stephen C. Meyer's "Signature in the Cell: DNA and the Evidence for Intelligent Design," theists can rejoin with, "Meyer made it possible to be an intellectually fulfilled theist." Indeed, in his book, Mr. Meyer begins the chorus by stating that "as a Christian theist, I find this implication of intelligent design 'intellectually satisfying.' But, to suppose that "Signature in the Cell" is a book that argues for intelligent design (ID) from a religious or even metaphysical perspective is to suppose badly. For this book makes a strong case for ID as a rigorous scientific argument for the origin of life - at least as rigor...

Philosophical Aspects of the Christian Right's Crusade Against Science, by James H. Fetzer, Open Court, 2007. Fetzer seems certain that he is logically entitled to beliefs that support the legalization of a wide variety of practices including abortion, stemcell research, cloning, prostitution, potsmoking, and flag-burning. In his book The Science of Good and Evil he suggests that an innate moral sense evolved in humans because it offered a survival advantage.
