audiomartini.com recently interviewed WD and one of the questions concerned the misteps of I.D. what the I.D. movement should have done differently.  

Dembski responded that they should have been more effective at dissuading preemting the Dover case, and he said that regardless of that case, the movement is right on schedule. (what schedule?)  He also talked about galvanizing America's youth to support this movement.  (could you imagine Darwin talking about trying to gain merit for his theory by galvanzing Europe's youth to get behind it?)

He also made it apparent that their goal is to get this issue to the Supreme Court.  He also predicted that I.D. will fully supplant "Darwinism" within the next 15 years.


All I can say is "wow".

When thinking about Dembski it is wise to keep in mind that there are limits to sanity, but insanity knows no bounds.
And Dembski's madness is boundless.
Running neck and neck with his creepiness, and slighly behind is stupidity.

Oh man, did he actually say that the movement is "right on schedule"?
And I thought he was the smart one of the bunch...

I don't have a copy of the Wedge Document handy at the moment, but I could have sworn their timetable for the Defeat of Empericism was now several years behind schedule. Can anyone check?

One of the 5 year goals:
Quote
One hundred scientific, academic and technical articles by our fellows

Scientific achievements:

   * An active design movement in Israel, the UK and other influential countries outside the US
   * Ten CRSC Fellows teaching at major universities
   * Two universities where design theory has become the dominant view
   * Design becomes a key concept in the social sciences Legal reform movements base legislative proposals on design theory


I think they're a bit behind schedule

Well of course they are... My amazement was not because Dembski thought otherwise, but because, in that way, he actually made a referrence to the Wedge.
I mean, an actual reference. To the Wedge.
Since I don't think Dembski's lost it yet, maybe he was trying to give a shout-out to certain ears, so that certain hands will keep digging into certain pockets? Just a thought.
