The evidence for design in nature is abound. Even Richard Dawkins agrees with me here. In absence of a plausible mechanism to explain said design, one may conclude that design is not "designoid", but rather, it is real.

Do you really think Dawkins ACTUALLY said this? In the context that there is a designer, &/or that there is a lacking plausible mechanism? I seriously doubt it. I do suspect a very different context, however. Can you provide the source of this agreement pls. I have a few Dawkins books, so if it is in a book, could you provide the page number.I’m going to get ahead of myself here & cry misquote!. Dawkins is a committed evolutionist, AND materialist, why would he contradict himself?I don’t accuse you Cobra, of this misquote, but someone is responsible. It’s probably just bad timing that you were defending creationists against the accusation of serial misquotation, & then dropped one in yourself, but it does detract from your argument that the creationist penchant for misquotes isn’t the rule.Mark------------------

Perhaps Cobra just sited the wrong source. It sounds very much like something Michael Behe might say. Certainly it is precisely the opposite of Richard Dawkins' well known position on ID.

Percy, I want to make clear that I'm not accusing Cobra, but rather to venture that he is the victim of this misquotation, & that creationist misquotes are the rule, rather than the exception ,for the main creationist organisations.Mark------------------
