Quote When this came out, I analyzed Thornton’s paper, and reached a much more critical assessment of their results than Behe did. Also cracked me up. PaV doesn't know what it all means, defers to Behe for explanations, but somehow reaches 'much more critical' conclusions than Behe does.

I said “new”, but it actually looks like it was first published in 2007. Part II which deals with naturalistic objections to the argument is also available. my bolding. Seriously, what a fucking shock. link

I keep getting a timeout error if I spend more that 30 seconds. On second thought, since I have noticed this, I have not seen any posts by bornagain77. For that alone, I am willing to put up with the inconvenience. If only the new comment limitation would also prevent Mullings from posting thousand word comments.

Is there anyone who can tell me whats wrong?” Robert, I think all you need to do is to refresh the capcha numbers before trying to post. I have had the same problem. Must be a change in the system. But if you click on those two arrows that form a circle beside the capcha numbers and then enter the number right before you post your message, it should work fine.

But it is rather amusing to see some IDists criticizing Barry (although very quietly) about posting an OP criticizing Sal knowing full well that Sal can't respond because Barry banned him. Also, has anyone seen BA77? He has not graced the pages of UD for several days now.
