I dunno.  I've met none of the IDCH people in person, but from what they write and say publicly, Behe comes across to me more as a true believer, honestly self-deluded (perhaps deliberately so), and possibly heading for Javisonville.

Dembski on the other hand, while probably less than mentally healthy (Narcissism anyone?), comes across to me as a con-man.  I've said it over and again - if he believed half the crap he spews, he'd have shown up in Dover to vindicate his Righteous Science™.

Quote (Barbara Forrest @ The "Vise Strategy" Undone)
Dembski already knew that such a day of legal reckoning was approaching. Exactly one month later, on June 6, he sat across from me when I was deposed as an expert witness for the plaintiffs in the first ID legal case, Kitzmiller et al. v. Dover Area School District. He attended my deposition as the adviser to the lead defense attorney, Richard Thompson of the Thomas More Law Center, and was scheduled to be deposed himself on June 13 as a defense witness. Besides being on opposite sides, there was another big difference between us: I showed up for my deposition. Dembski “escaped critical scrutiny by not having to undergo cross-examination” when he withdrew from the case on June 10 [6].


The fact that he appeared at depositions but then ran like a whipped dog speaks volumes.  Had he gotten on the stand, he'd have been eviscerated.  He knew that.  He poofed himself right out of Pennsylvania.  He's a narcissistic flim-flam artist, nothing more, nothing less.
