| Quote (Rob @ Oct. 03 2007,17:46) | StephenB chides someone for not reading The Design Inference: | Quote | Apparently, you are also not aware that Dembski has made an important distinction between “optimum design” and “perfect design.” You can read about it in his book, “The Design Inference.”
It makes no sense to keep shooting all these arrows hoping that one day you will hit a target. Why not just do the reading? |
He did the same a week ago: | Quote | | It would be one thing if Ayala had read The Design Inference and said, “I don’t agree with the distinction between “optimum design” and “perfect design.” However, from what I gather, he has not even chartered that territory, much less formulated an intelligent objection to the principles brought forth. Unless I am missing something, I must conclude that he is not only unfair, but also uninformed. |
Only one problem: The Design Inference says nothing about optimum design, optimal design, or perfect design, so I'm wondering if StephenB has read it himself. |
He get's called on it here:

StephenB:
It’s been a while since I read The Design Inference, but I don’t recall Dr. Dembski addressing optimum design and perfect design. Can you provide citations?
