JMax Posts: 12 Joined: Jan. 2006 (Permalink) Posted: Sep. 14 2007,00:10    I attend OU (University of Oklahoma) and the school didnt invite him.  He is being sponsored by a student group Pursuit ministries who is backed by Trinity Baptist church here in Norman.  Somehow they came up with $10k to invite him.

He proposes a procedure for detecting design and discusses how it applies to a number of mundane and nontheological examples, which more or less resemble Paley’s watch. Although the book takes no stand on whether creationism is more or less plausible than evolutionary theory, Dembski’s epistemology can be evaluated without knowing how he thinks it bears on this highly charged topic. In what follows, we will show that Dembski’s account of design inference is deeply flawed. Sometimes he is too hard on hypotheses of intelligent design; at other times he is too lenient. Neither creationists nor evolutionists nor people who are trying to detect design in nontheological contexts should adopt Dembski’s framework. http://philosophy.wisc.edu/sober/dembski.pdf

That's write skepdick. Dembski is a brilliant apologist for Apollo. The sheep herder and all round good guy with the good looks that morphed into some sort of Jewish messiah. Convenient mythology and all that. Anyway U R write Dembski is vrry smrat and Monet sticks to his fingers like Mydas.

Stupid is as stupid does, my momma used to say. And I don't see how Dembski can do stupid any better than his most recent trick.   And that's all I'm going to say about that. -------------- Come on Tough Guy, do the little dance of ID impotence you do so well. - Louis to Joe G 2/10 Gullibility is not a virtue - Quidam on Dembski's belief in the Bible Code Faith Healers & ID 7/08 UD is an Unnatural Douchemagnet. - richardthughes 7/11
