| Quote | | Dave, given William Dembski's absolute lack of credibility when it comes to critiques of evolution, why do you even bother quoting him? Have you spent any time at talkorigins or pandasthumb or talkreason to find out what actual scientists who actually have the training to have actual opinions on evolutionary biology have to say about Dembski? |
Eric ... I'm very aware of PT and TO opinions of Dembski ... how could anyone NOT BE?
I'm not quoting Dembski, I'm quoting TALK ORIGINS !! Isn't that what you guys have been instructing me to do? I understand the claims Dembski makes about SETI and I have no knowledge about them ... that is not my point.
Did you not notice the bold print? Here it is again ...
Talk Origins (not Dembski, not AIG, not ICR) Talk Origins said ...
T h e o b j e c t i v e c r i t e r i o n f o r r e c o g n i z i n g i n t e l l i g e n t d e s i g n i s t o l o o k f o r t h i n g s t h a t l o o k l i k e w h a t p e o p l e b u i l d.
Now it does not get much plainer than that. The logical conclusion of this is if SETI looks for things that look like people build to indicate intelligent life out there somewhere, why shouldn't we also? There are oodles of things that resemble things that people build all through nature: bat "radar", bird wings, eyes like cameras, ad infinitum ... maybe there is Someone out there who designed this!
I read all you guys' links ... I know what they say ... I always do read your links if they are on topic
You cannot dodge this one ...
There is no escaping the fact that YOUR FAVORITE SITE (not Dembski) made a statement that agrees with AF Dave on one of my MAJOR POINTS--THERE IS OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE THAT BIOLOGICAL "MACHINES" LOOK DESIGNED BECAUSE THEY PROBABLY ARE DESIGNED.
I understand that this may bring frustration, but I cannot help what Talk Origins writes -- go get mad at them, not me.
