The only good ID advocates provided for science is provide more hypothesis to falsify. No doubt that trail was the beginning of the end of the 'irreducibly complex' fiasco. 'Astrology and alchemy would be considered science' - M. Behe  :D

How's the Wedge timetable looking these days?

How's the Wedge timetable looking these days?

Kristine noted on Facebook that Dembski's projected collapse of Darwinian science date came and went without anybody noticing any difference. Next year is 20 years into the Wedge strategy's replacement of scientific materialism.

I took a friend to see "Fellowship of the Ring". He had not read the books, but he knew the Ring was supposed to end up in Mount Doom. As the movie was winding to its close, he said his thought then was, "They need to start hightailing it to the volcano." The Wedge folks are more evidently aligned with the Nazgul than the hobbits, but if they are supposed to have something to show for their work at the 20-year mark, they need to get a move on.

Re "came and went without anybody noticing any difference"

Sort of like that Flood that came and went without anybody in China, India, Egypt, the Americas (or any other place where people had started keeping records), noticing that they had all drowned...

13 years after Dover, A few Alabama legislators try to push the 'theory of creation.' Talk about missing the memo.

We had a 15-year anniversary virtual reunion of the plaintiffs, legal team, and others associated with the case this evening. Over Zoom, of course.

We had about 50 people in virtual attendance, including Nick Matzke from New Zealand.

We are hoping that by next fall we can have an in-person reunion.

Several of us noted how the associations we made then have remained this many years later, that there is an uncommon cohesion to our little assemblage of people who stood up for science education, and those of us who backed them doing so. It was really good to have that time 'together', especially in this year.

I assume Dembski bragged about showing up, but then never did?

Something about having to go out to buy a bottle of Whisky I think.

This makes my heart happy, Wesley.

This came up on my fb memories, from this date in 2009, which I'm sure I c/p'd from PT:

 
Quote
Meanwhile, a spokesman for Answers in Hesiod, a classical pagan fundamentalist think tank, strongly condemned the projected study for failing to take into account the scientifically valid theory that Chaos, Gaia, and Eros arose spontaneously from nothing.

It doesn't feel like 16 years. Happy anniversary.
