I would be surprised if any sort of place which would hire Dembski considered fraud and dishonesty to be actionable offenses. In fact, if Dembski is holding a position, I just assume the word 'dishonest' is in the position's job description, not too far from 'immature' and 'temper tantrum'. However, if the idle speculations above are true, and it came out that Dembski was gay, he'd be canned faster than you can say "wide stance". As an addendum, let me say that none of the gay people I have known and worked with would I smear by associating them with Bill Dembski.

It doesn't "sound" particularly anything other than amateurish. Nor is it clear to me why "sounding gay" is somehow a pejorative, or is the occasion for all this titillation. Nor (IMHO) does the narrator sound particularly like Dembski, and weaving speculation to that effect out of thin air when he has flatly stated that it wasn't he who narrated the animation strikes me as more than a little out to lunch.

Most gay stereotypes are, they're ... gay stereotypes. I basically agree with the rest, except that I'm not sure stupidity suffices and my ear just disagrees with yours about if it sounds like Dembski. Confirmation bias, maybe, it's true. -------------- "ALL eight of the "nature" miracles of Jesus could have been accomplished via the electroweak quantum tunneling mechanism.

Wesley R.

I'm with RB on this one. -------------- "You can't teach an old dogma new tricks." - Dorothy Parker

Does anyone have the modified version of the video, instead of the video of the video that's on ERV's blog? I think UD had it up, previously, even though it's down now. I want to look at it. I'm really quite surprised at how easily available good audio software seems to be compared to the last time I looked two years ago or so.  :D ... and I'll give it a rest if that doesn't work. I have limits to the distance I'll chase a weird theory. -------------- "ALL eight of the "nature" miracles of Jesus could have been accomplished via the electroweak quantum tunneling mechanism.

Consider Statement 1: I found it on the internet. Statement 2: the Designer did it. In each case, there's no natural explanation. Of course there isn't.  The internet didn't evolve, it was designed by designers.  So nothing on there is natural. Bob P.S.

I'm with RB on this one. When I figured out that Dembski was the voice of the gassy Judge Jones, what tipped me off were the distinct Upper Midwestern vowels of his speeded-up speech.  You don't hear those vowels at all in the video narration.  I think RB and Wes are right -- it's not Dembski. -------------- And the set of natural numbers is also the set that starts at 0 and goes to the largest number. -- Joe G Please stop putting words into my mouth that don't belong there and thoughts into my mind that don't belong there. -- KF

Not a biologist - maybe I missed it. --------------
