From Panda's Thumb.

 

This is my favorite. Dembski. quote. Ever.

 

"As for your example, I’m not going to take the bait. You’re asking me to play a game: 'Provide as much detail in terms of possible causal mechanisms for your ID position as I do for my Darwinian position.' ID is not a mechanistic theory, and it’s not ID’s task to match your pathetic level of detail in telling mechanistic stories. If ID is correct and an intelligence is responsible and indispensable for certain structures, then it makes no sense to try to ape your method of connecting the dots. True, there may be dots to be connected. But there may also be fundamental discontinuities, and with IC systems that is what ID is discovering.”

 

ahhh-ha-ha ha!

 

If ID is true, then it needs no proof or explination or supporting facts?  WTF?

Anyone who takes this crap seriously is an idiot.  I don't even care if that's "judgemental".  We are supposed to seriously give up hundreds of years of productive, life-improving, knowledge-expanding, results-bringing science if favor of THIS?

Holy Shit.

I wonder if he realized he was actually putting those words together outside of his head where other people could observe them.

I've been following this whole affair over at ERV's blog for a while now. It's utterly astounding. The whole long sordid history of this lays bare just how ignorant and despicable the Creationist/ID crowd really is.
