I read it in the Associated Press! (as reported in the  Lexington Herald-Leader) Can it be true?

Quote
To William Dembski, all the debate in this country over evolution won't matter in a decade.

By then, he says, the theory of evolution put forth by Charles Darwin 150 years ago will be dead.


In ten years everything I have learned will become false? Is this related to that timewave, singularity, Mayan-calendar-end-of-the-world-in-2012 business?

Hmm - didn't ID have a "five year plan", or something like that, one to two decades ago? What happened with that?
