Attack of the Theocrats!
I suppose professional philosophers have to write something to earn their crust. It seems to me that Gutting is doing just that. I haven't read his stuff, only the above article, but from the author's summary, it seems about as exciting as a clothing philosopher's view on whether Milan scored more points in the fashion shows than London did. I'm not quite sure how relying on "scientific and rational arguments" can be a fault, but then I would need a philosopher to explain that to me. Hopefully the said explanation would be expressed in a code that I could understand, and not some Kantian verbiage written in early German, translated into Greek and Latin, and then back into English!
