How come we hardly ever get any of these guys? I mean, most of us are about as hostile toward ID as it gets in here.
So that's where some of our trolls come from…

Bill Dembski's Intelligent Design course at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary has some interesting course requirements.
provide at least 10 posts defending ID that you've made on "hostile" websites, the posts totalling 2,000 words, along with the URLs (i.e., web links) to each post (worth 20% of your grade).
Another 20% of the grade comes from the development of a Sunday School lesson plan.
The whole course page is a rich vein of absurdity. Have fun mining it!

I think Dembski should give big-time, extra credit to any student posting at SFN. He/she will have earned it and I'll give a personal recommendation.

Oh, dear. Isn't "the Isaac Newton of Information Theory" eager to send the students who are under his thumb to attack pro-science web sites? What a brave general he is, sitting in his classroom, ordering his lambs to the slaughter! He's clearly got the concept of "leading from the rear" down pat, as he also showed when he canceled his testimony in the Dover Trial. What a craven IDiot.
Poor students. They are being told to read a selected review of Dawkins' The God Delusion, but not the book itself. I hope it occurs to some of them to read Dawkins' own words in context.

I would rather face a cold reality than delude myself with comforting fantasies.
