UPDATE:
Maybe he won't get banned. He goes on to make a Grade A Intelligent Design move: he make up a new jargony term and pretends it supports design.
| Quote | My Design theory
In my intro quote, I said I'm skeptical about using ID to scientifically identify design. That doesn't mean, however, that I'm opposed to ID in principle, and in fact I've done some work on my own theory of intelligent design. I haven't published it before, so I thought I'd share it here.
My theory is based on what I call "cognitive distance" or CD. Don't let the big words fool you, all it really means is "how far away are we from knowing who did it?"
It's not scientifically exact, but it does help us be a little more scientific about how we decide whether or not something is intentionally designed. (I like "intentional design" better than "intelligent design," since "intelligent" can mean different things).

Irreducible Complexity, Complex Specified Information, Ontogenetic Depth, now Cognitive Distance... |
He'll get banned for that: if almost IDer calculates CD honestly, they'll find it's zero, and it was the butler that did it.
Or God. I can never remember who Agatha Christie framed.
