From a newspaper article about the event:
But he said that evolution should not be competing with intelligent design.
“There’s two separate answer about what you are doing which just aren’t answers of the same kind, they are dealing with different issues,” Ruse said that science and religion are not necessarily at odds.”
He does have his view, “I happen to think that intelligent design theory is religion by another name,” Ruse said.
Ruse is a good guy, but he’s way too soft on the cdesign proponentsists.
