Mike O’Risal of Hyphoid Logic came across a defender of Han and Warda’s infamous paper Mitochondria, the missing link between body and soul: Proteomic prospective evidence. According to a blog calling itself the “AcademicFreedomBlog”, the issue isn’t plagiarism…no, apparently that’s part of “academic freedom”. It isn’t the sloppy logic, in which “conclusions” are pulled out of the air, unconnected to the information presented in the paper. Nope. AFB thinks that the outrage the paper has generated comes from the fact that “includes language in opposition to the theory of evolution.”
I didn’t think it was possible to make the DI appear to be paragons of virtue. But AFB does just that. (Mike has the link to the blog).

The guy at AFB isn’t that bad- he’s now admitting he made a big mistake. Lots of bloggers don’t do that.
