Free SeaLion!First Modernman, and now SeaLion's been suspended/banned??? Seesh!!!
Considering the various design defects in the human body, that's a more plausible theory than ID...
The defendants' list is pretty impressive.
Read Behe's book. Will be pretty hard for the plaintiffs' to dispute his testimony.
It's not just you. Is this 1984 and are we seeing the first of many vaporizations?
Behe's "irreducible complexity" argument is fatally flawed. Ichneumon's post 35.
Irreducible Complexity Demystified. Major debunking of ID.
The Flagellum Unspun: The Collapse of "Irreducible Complexity," Kenneth R. Miller. Critique of Behe.
I'm unimpressed with the refutations. You think the defendants would have him as a defense expert, if his book was fatally flawed?
"I'm unimpressed with the refutations. "
I'm not impressed with your answer. Be more specific; how are the refutations wrong?
"You think the defendants would have him as a defense expert, if his book was fatally flawed?"
Yes. They haven't shown they are particularly bright.
No pulled posts either.
Heh. If they televise Saddam's trial, I might buy that headline. If they ever file a case against the guys who whacked Natalee Holloway, and they televise that trial, I might buy that headline. As it is, I suggest that there are few trials (if any) that the entire world is less likely to be following with bated breath than this one.
We're behind enough in science education as it is without these ID moonbats dumbing down the system even further.
What happened with SeaLion? Didn't know he was suspended until now.
Behe's book has been pretty thoroughly rebutted. In fact, all of his 'irreducibly complex' examples have been shown not to be irreducibly complex by his own definition. Ken Miller, on the plaintiff's list, has done a nice job on this.
Also, based on some things he's written recently, I suspect Behe may be wavering. In a recent interview, he referred to some of Lenski's work on in vitro speciation in microbes as a 'compelling' argument for standard evolution, if it turns out to be true. Lenski's result is embargoed prior to publication, but I understand it's big.

Wow. Triplicate. Dunno what I did, but I apologize!
"Wow. Triplicate. Dunno what I did, but I apologize!"
Some things are worth repeating over and over. :)
