Schraf: I keep asking a similar question concerning Dembski's specified complexity. To wit: How does the EF differentiate between "apparent" specified complexity (i.e., naturally occurring) and "true" specified complexity (i.e., design)? The supposed answer deals with the probability of occurance - but without knowing the causal history, the only way to distinguish the two is deciding in advance that something is designed. Tautology in action, IMO.
