Essay talk:The flip side of William Dembski's "immodest proposal"

While evolutionary biology can more than answer their essay prompts (I'm actually reading a whole book on the second, and it's quite interesting), you know the ID responses are something like this:


 * the creator caused the Cambrian explosion because he wanted to, and He did so in some way which we can't figure out because He's omnipotent.
 * the eye is designed according to some massive blueprint that He thought up (evidently while inebriated, because it's backwards and upside-down...don't look for them to admit that part).
 * and so forth.

That's what's so insidious and dangerous about intelligent design: it precludes asking meaningful questions and basically just stops that line of inquiry in its tracks. It's not even science anymore. --Thinker 22:26, 14 December 2008 (EST)

Maybe adding which week would be helpful. 02:29, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I just took it out--no need to specify. Thanks for the input.  Sterile 02:58, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
