Dembski calculated the odds at the Dover trial to be 90 percent against a slamdown of ID. What are the odds of the Dover decision being written exactly as it was? Infinitesimal? Just changing a few words could have had the completely opposite result. Why, it is almost as if that outcome was the pre-ordained design of God.
