ID taken to the end

As far as I understand ID, this is correct.Philip Johnson seems to believe that every species was separately created by God, within an OE \ fossil evidence framework.Michael Behe thinks (at least at one point, Behe's thoughts have been revised since he wrote DBB and I'm not sure to what extent this was affected) that common descent is true, just that certain organelles (and whales) need an extra push from God.I've never seen a coherent position from Dembski on this issue, he seems more interested in obfuscating the meaning of the No Free Lunch principle then in advancing his own theory. He's the Isaac Newton of Information Theory, not a biologist. He might well have put one forth, I'm not sure. Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner!The DI now admits this, after a fashion. They currently urge people to "teach the controversy" and didn't support the Dover PA. school district teaching ID to its students. This is because they can't teach anything other than problems they see with evolution, it's really all they have.ChrisThis message has been edited by cmanteuf, 09-08-2005 01:55 PMThis message has been edited by cmanteuf, 09-08-2005 01:56 PM

It is. The original quote and author is:"William Dembski is the Isaac Newton of information theory, and since this is the Age of Information, that makes Dembski one of the most important thinkers of our time. His "law of conservation of information" represents a revolutionary breakthrough. In Intelligent Design: The Bridge Between Science & Theology, Dembski explains the meaning and significance of his discoveries with such clarity that the general public can readily grasp them. He convincingly diagnoses our present confusions about the relationship between science and theology and offers a promising alternative."-Rob Koons, Associate Professor of Philosophy, University of Texas at AustinIt's a blurb from the back cover of Dembski's _Intelligent Design: The Bridge Between Science & Theology_I might have been a trifle sarcastic when I described Dembski thus.ChrisThis message has been edited by cmanteuf, 09-09-2005 11:54 AM
