All they're doing now is copying the anti-IDists. Well, Denyse's truly ignorant rant about the problems cooperation are supposed to pose for evolution is a copy of themselves and their tardity, but I think Dembski's bored with that flapdoodle by now.
So the Black Knight is put on UD, as if somehow it's a new argument. We don't know we're defeated, blah blah blah, when of course we've used the Black Knight for some time to deal with the fact that no matter how many times creationism/ID is defeated Dumbski blathers about Waterloos, the "long decline of Darwinism", or some such idiotic cant.
Oh, and biologists can't consider challenges to Darwinism because...., oh god, do we have to listen to him again (no, I barely ever read anything of Dembski's clear through--it's too predictable and stupid)?
He apparently knows so little about science that he doesn't know that younger biologists (and some older ones) would jump at a new model having high explanatory ability, so that they could make their marks as soon as possible. How long did it actually take for QM and relativity to have a strong presence in physics? Not long, despite the fact that the father of QM was quite opposed to accepting QM as reality, and the great Maxwell was opposed to relativistic concepts (creationists like to claim Maxwell, not noting that he opposed excellent developments of his own huge accomplishments in physics, and had no real expertise in biology).
What is more, surely any number of physicists, mathematicians, and biochemists, would be happy to take up a simple explanation left untouched by biologists, particularly one requiring almost no biological knowledge like ID. And despite the fact that some of the dullards in ID are indeed those, the vast majority of physicists and biochemists (philosophically competent mathematicians probably claim no expert opinion--unlike Dembski and Berlinski) are as opposed to ID as the biologists are.
Of course the screed against the experts is in reaction to the fact that virtually no real biologists, apart from Moonie Wells, agree with his BS. His pathetic little bunch of non-experts has to be portrayed as better than the "biased" experts. So he rants, demonstrating that he isn't better than anybody, at least not in this area.
