The author of Mere Creation is not in a very good position to expel creationists. Bill is on record saying 6000 is just as valid a number as 4.5 billion when it comes to dating the earth. |
Agreed. There's always been tension within the ID big tent, but Dembski's managed to hold everything together up until now. Since Expelled, though, the cracks have been multiplying and widening. I've never seen so much open, unpunished squabbling among the UD inmates as there's been over the last week or so. At some point, Dr Dr D may need to show one side the door. Given that, for almost all UDers except Dave, this is a religious movement, and that Dembski doesn't want to lose his base, I think the Floating Command Centre is heading for a sinking.
