he still needs to reestablish the link between 'design' and 'intelligence' before he has the right to infer intelligent agency.
Yes, I think it is obvious from the name there isn't a real attempt to do science.
If they were actually interested in the subject in the way they are pretending we would be discussing "the problem of irreducible complexity". We would be trying to decide if there really was any, how we would tell and so on. Not jumping to an apparent solution.

Ya know, Mr H. It just came to me in a moment of wild conjecture that maybe, just maybe, something else will come from the ID stuff.
Maybe if they keep looking for thier "irreducible complexity" they will find something intersting and, in explaining it in some genetic details we will learn some really neat things about what is possible in the way of "genetic leaps" --- or specific cases of really, really punc eeq.
Now that I'm finished typing that I guess the hox genes are an example of this and it wasn't found by the IDers at all. Ok, maybe no good will come out of this after all.
