Hey, I'll try again. There are people who say Yassir Arafat was a terrorist. He seems indeed to have been dirty in a number of activities that would qualify him wonderfully well as just such a person. You might even say there's objective data that would make him a terrorist.

But there are people who say he's a great man and a Nobel Peace prize winner. The latter point is even true.

I say that the people who glorify Arafat are ignoring the hard data of his life to advance some kind of Holy Warrior objective of their own. While people may disagree on this and that, reality isn't anything you want it to be.

Behe and Dembski are a pair of minor players from the fields of biology and information theory, respectively. They might never have been heard of if they hadn't hit upon the idea of playing up to the religiously credulous with their claims of intelligent design. Holy Warriors again. Objective data on the junk heap.

They have nothing to teach us. Their science is the science of throwing up the hands and saying, "~~God~~ The Designer did it!"
