Any chance of bothering Dr. Dawkins again about this, Mr. Elsberry, sir? |
I had guessed that Dawkins would reply to everyone that Dembski addressed. I'd like to know at least he gist of what Dembski left out. If Dawkins did not emphasize that it's the principle, and not the program, that matters, I'd be surprised.
But something really surprises me in Dembski's quote of Dawkins. If Dawkins had ever programmed in Pascal with "caps lock" on, he would remember it. I've never known a Pascal programmer who would go from a mixed-case style in one year to an execrable all-caps style in the next. If you're in the habit of using mixed case, you can't stand to look at all-caps code. And it simply does not take that much time to use the shift key.
