Corny agrees. *Buy my book* posts should not be open to comments (cf Dembski, Behe). Therefore, his Human Consciousness post appears at UD, which restricts comments from opponents, but not at Darwins's God, which (inexplicably) doesn't.

Yes, but what if one intelligently designs the typewriter to stamp impressions of letters onto paper AND also be conscious? Consciousness is not a problem for design - people in ID labs design conscious things all the time - so presumably his Intelligent Design book will explain exactly how one could do that.
