Thanks for reminding me. Please tell Darwin Central I need an increase in my allowance.

DONE!

You may now expect to spend TWO weeks each year stranded on a deserted island with "medved", g3k, and f-dot, instead of the usual one week vacation!

What, pray tell, would he gain by claiming that if it were not true?

Indeed! "Intelligent design is just the Logos theology of John's Gospel" is something Dembski probably wishes now he HAD lied about but obviously didn't.

Sure. The Grand Master is a reasonable man.

Science can be wrong for decades.

In the case of Darwinian macro-evolution, it's been just over 100 years. It's nice of you to recognize that evolution may be wrong. Maybe we're getting somewhere.

Isn't that the entire point of the trial in Dover; that there is at least one competing idea about how life came to be?

Why are evolutionists so afraid of competing ideas?

No, the trial at Dover is about the Wedge Strategy.

What is science class about? It isn't just anything. It should really be science, or it shouldn't be in there.

There is no theory competing with evolution within science to explain the origin of the diversity of life on Earth. If your idea of a science class has a steeple on it, your mileage may vary.

Here's a link I have stored under Feathered Dinosaurs still working as of 7 Oct. It isn't just Archaeopteryx anymore.

Thanks for the link. That Liaoning, China site is a huge find.

Yes. Apparently, there were a number of Mt. St. Helens-style volcanic events which created some exquisitely preserved fossils.

I have a better question. What the heck is macro-evolution?

" He's been told this before. He's been shown the evidence for higher-taxa transitionals a number of times."

I know, and I never seriously expected an answer. I just think it needs to be addressed every time it's said, for the lurkers at any rate.

Illustrations by E. Christman? That's scary.

As does the fact that we've done our job and informed him many times.
