This may seem like a bad thing (it sure would be nice to be invited to those wine-and-cheese parties at the Templeton Foundation), but I submit it is a good thing. It keeps us honest. We dont have to play nice with Darwin because our livelihoods are at stake. Moreover, it will make the ultimate victory of ID all that much sweater*.

You would think he would be a little more grateful given that Templeton gave him a cool 100G and never delivered a book in return.

At So the Evolutionary Informatics Lab has been debunked by no one worth listening to?, Winston Ewert (listed at Dembski's evolutionlab.com as a Research Assistant with a BS in Computer Science, but I think he is a MS) engaged critics directly, and encouraged them to present their objections:  
Quote
But if you have a thought-out written response or critique, feel free to send it to me at evoinfo AT winstonewert DOT com. I cant promise anything in terms of a response, but I will read and consider anything sent.
 
Quote
For typographical errors and minor mathematical mistakes, please just contact me by email directly and well post corrections giving you credit. For more major critiques, Id suggest writing them up as blog posts or paper-style pdfs. Let me know where they are, and Ill read them.
Now he seems to be dragged back on the party line:  
Quote
This is a poor venue, and we look forward to seeing formal published articles critiquing our work. It is strange to us that we havent seen formal published responses. There are various responses in the literature to Dembskis previous books such as No Free Lunch. Somehow our published articles have not provoked the same response.

Well, they won't. As I wrote in my mail in which I provided Winston Ewert with a basic example of something wrong in their papers:
Quote
Why won't it appear even at archive.org? For a couple of reason:
  • the math of the essay is to obvious, boring and simple - enough perhaps for a "letter to the editor".
  • there isn't enough interest in "Active Information" outside of a couple of blogs and message boards.
Well, Winston Ewert has promised me to look at my paper-style pdf when he finds the time...

Since there isn't the usual level of the UD discussion here... I started to get withdrawal symptoms (clarity of thought, getting work done, hugging kids, being kind to pets, liquor evaporating rather than being metabolized (cold turkey is mean!)) and went over to UD for just a taste.Wow have things dried up over there!

It kinda reminds me of a mall near where I live. All the quality stores moved out, even the McDonalds! So all that is left of that mall (some dozen acres) is a coffee shop. No tumble weeds blowing through but there is some sad bit of bunting from an Xmas season and a sales flyer and food wrapper or two. Then there are the bare mannequins in dusty windows that sometimes seem to move when one is not looking at them directly. A deserted mall is a sad and spooky place.

Well over at UD there is someone talking to the mannequins. Didn't paulmc get the memo?

I suppose the mall building super/security guard will emerge from his dingy office eventually and ban paulmc.

I wonder when they will bulldoze the place, or perhaps it will just get overgrown with weeds and crumble away.

Do you think they'd let us have paintball tournaments in that empty mall?

My old local mall had a JCPenny and 5 shoe stores.  Even the Dairy Queen left and, for Texas, that's serious.

Any place where gordo doesn't have total control and some sheeple to preach to is of course a fever swamp to him, and I'm sure that entering the new mall is a terrifying thought for such a sniveling coward, although he might do a hit and run there at times. If he does he will undoubtedly spew his usual sanctimonious vomit and get all pissy like a sissy when his sermon isn't worshiped as the words of a god.

Will climate change end up replacing Darwinian evolution as the factor that explains everything? Just listen to this:

<quoted from article> Climate is believed to be the driving force behind most of these evolutionary processes, including geographical range change. It dictates which species are where at what time, driving their geographical spread or contraction.

Oh that would be cool!

There used to be a laser-tag place complete with movie set smoke and fog in one of the mini-malls around here. They only lasted a year or two. That was 15 years ago.

I am in Northern New Jersey and I think they just overbuilt all the malls around here. There have been some where they bulldozed sections of it and turned them in to more parking lots. Be nice if they turned them in to parks. Fewer and fewer of those around here also. No places for kids to play outdoors.

In the town where I work the city built a new playground with lights and baseball diamonds, a soccer field, and even a very spiffy skate park with all the rails and ramps a kid could want.) They built it three miles from the center of town out in the boonies. No bus goes there. No sidewalks along a busy road where the speed limit is 45MPH. In other words no way for kids to get to the park unless they are driven there.

Back to UD (or not)... I am wondering how long it will last before they try and do something desperate. Gordos latest attempt to bait Elizabeth back to UD is pretty transparent.

I think we can thank Arry Bannington for just about singlehandedly destroying the UD mosh pit.

Good points.

He's likely praying that the new mall evo-mat fever swamp will be utterly destroyed by his imaginary god, and in the meantime he's probably searching the internet for a suitable pulpit where he can proselytize, and rage against atheists, during the moments when he's not 'accidently' looking at porn.

I haven't looked at UD for 2 or 3 weeks and I really don't miss it. At first I was tempted but that's wearing off. There's plenty of ID tard in other places and some of those sites don't block or ban people for no good reason, and the IDiots who post on some sites have to face their challengers or run like scared chickens back to UD or some other echo chamber sanctuary.

It's a lot more fun and productive to take on IDiots on sites where they aren't protected by pompous, dishonest tyrants like that dickhead arrington.
