So, how many are surprised?
http://www.geocities.com/adaniels700/UnintelligentRulingOnID.html
Thought so. The author of that "article" is trying to defend himself on Theology Web. Good sodding luck.
Weren't the IDists on Dembski's blog bragging that since the judge was appointed by Bush, that they'd have this case all wrapped up?
I remember Reggie "Infidel Guy" interviewing Dr. Barbara Forrest, one of the pro-science witnesses in that trial, and she mentioned that. Kind of shoots down this guy's premise, don't you think?
EDIT: Someone at TWEB has listed the responses to the Discover Institute's whining about the case, which the guy I first posted basically had repeated.
EDIT 2: For the hell of it, here's an article by Barbara Forrest: The Vise Strategy Undone.
(I'd like to put in more commentary, but I'm still stuck using a library computer! Sucks...  )

Another example of this guy's lunacy here. |

Good luck indeed! That bunch at TWeb are Bible literalist, 6-dayers.
I expect that they'll be pissing and moaning about the Dover decision for a good, long time. And as failures continue to mount, they'll become very good at it. Cries of discrimination are really all they have; their science certainly won't support them.
What galls me about thr whole thing is the time they cost the courts and witnesses, and the resources they cost the taxpayer.
On t'other hand, it's great low comedy.

One look at the unintelligent home page of the author, also known as "Gospel Answers", will tell you all you need to know about his understanding of science. Worried about demons? Check out Doctrines of Demons:

This expert from this IDufus' screed reminded of Mark Twains commentary on the history of the earth and of humanity.
quote:
"Whether one accepts or rejects the design hypothesis, whether one thinks of the designer as the Greek world soul or the Hebrew God, there is no avoiding the conclusion that the world looks as if it has been uniquely tailored for life: it appears to have been designed. All reality appears to be a vast, coherent, teleological whole with life and mankind as its purpose and goal." (Nature's Destiny, p. 387, Free Press, 1998).
Mark Twain compared the age the earth to the Eifel Tower (using Lord Kelvin's estimate of 300 million years for the age of the earth) and came to the conclusion that the human civilation was equivelant to the skin of paint on the knob on top of the Eifel tower. He concluded with how "obvious" it was that that skin of paint was the reason the Eifel tower was built.
These anthropic clowns must know the squar root of zilch about astronomy or be intellectually icapable of understanding how big the Universe is. It is both incredibly arrogant and absurd to think that the whole shebang was constructed so a bunch of talking primates could run rampant across some dinky little planet in a spiral arm of some obscure galaxy. |

It gets worse: Check out Dembski's blog agian, about that flash animation:
http://www.uncommondescent.com/archives/1875
quote:
Calm yourselves everybody. An enhanced flatulent version is being worked on at this very moment. I will make it available. I do want to say this for the record, however. Many people regard the flatulent version as unsophisticated and even infantile. I want to suggest that in this postmodern age the flatulence in this animation actually serves as a sophisticated rhetorical device that mirrors the subtext of flatulence that runs throughout Judge Jones's decision.
Ah. Here's a reply by Kenneth Miller! |
