A couple of years ago we got <i>The Privileged Planet</i> & before that a bunch of videos along the same line as this latest effort. And back in 2003 (from memory) there was a sponsored workshop on intelligent design - for teachers & parents - that actually featured Dembski as a speaker. It was even advertised in the <i>Education Gazette</i>, which is the official Ministry of Education document - I was sooooo cheesed off about that!alisonhttp://sci.waikato.ac.nz/bioblognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5506870823292198189.post-68174841696617548952011-04-15T20:55:52.292-04:002011-04-15T20:55:52.292-04:00Really, an ID Resource Store?

It reminds me of nothing so much as a group of astrologers arguing over how precisely to calculate someone's horoscope.<br /><br />It's also amusing to see how the arguments have evolved, if I may use that word. From "evolution can't explain it!" to "you're doing it wrong/it doesn't apply in this case/try this other metric" to, around post #200, "why should we do all the hard work of defining CSI? Math is hard! You do it!"arensbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15251547886605570242noreply@blogger.com
