“So If you have no actual ideas you compensate by writing longer sentences?”

To criticize form while ignoring substance is a sign of losing.

Okay, I’ll restate it more simply for you. ID is kind of like creationism and kind of like evolutionism, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t study it.

Einstein is great because his equations matched the physical evidence.

. Einstein is not great because of the disproof he offered,

No, he was a scientist because of the disproof.

I am under no illusion that I am winning or losing a debate. I know the outcome of this discussion; it will be the same as the outcome of all such discussions.

In ten years ID will be saying the same things it is saying now, the same things it was saying in 1802. It will have made no progress, done no research, added nothing useful to the sum of human knowledge.

ID has no research ideas, has never had any research ideas, because it isn't interested in research. It is content with pointing out whatever problems in biology that remain unsolved. It has no interest in solving them.
