But thats not the point. He didnt say 'I have a family and summer classes and blah blah blah'.
He said he does not respond to 'unsolicited email' (I didnt email him anything), and I could 'go soak my head' (the rest of the insult is 'go soak your head and dont come up for air.')
He was aware of my essay and chose not to respond to it because if he acknowledged my essay, he would ultimately have to acknowledge that his core ID claims are false (protein-protein interactions evolve, and we can see it happening). Because he caved in and responded to me (OH I MEAN IAN, NOT DUMB BABY ME) he cant release 'Edge' again without massive re-writes, ie a new book. Hes screwed, and it was because he is lazy and/or incompetent. But because he allowed it, the Great UD Adventure occurred, and because THAT occurred and Dembski CONDONED the behaviors directed towards me, I attended his presentation at OU, and because I went to that presentation, I noticed Dembski stole Harvards animation. And because of emails I got through contacting Harvard, I knew to look for stolen pics in 'Design of Life'...
Boy, Behe being a fat baby sure caused the DI a lot of trouble... |
I think you give yourself too much credit. Your point does not destroy his entire position, and other reviewers didn't really even have much to say about it. You made a very good point...nice job (and I'm totally serious). You certainly didn't take down the concept of ID. From what I understand, ERV's are certainly never going to add positive, helpful information to the genome. They destroy. So, it's nice that you found a case of a protein-protein interaction, but it certainly doesn't refute his postition on ID.
I have no idea why you are so violently put off with the man. He responded to you at the same time he did everyone else. If you weren't the one who emailed him, someone else supporting your position probably did. He responded when he started responding to everyone reviews.
