Pennock's throw-away line about a Matrix hypothesis, which he may have intended as a bit of humor, does not help his argument; especially in a bench trial.
Oh? So we should include equal time for the Matrix theory because it just might conceivably be true?
Whether one agrees with ID or not, one cannot reasonably say there is no support for the position. Even Miller admitted that evolution is not 'random'.
Oh c'mon. We've consistently been trying to explain to you guys that only mutations are random; natural selection is not random. Because of this, the overall process is "self-directed", in a sense, toward increased fitness WRT the current environment. There's no external intelligent person directing things. You still got nuthin'.
I don't think natural selection is random, either. Natural selection has never been proven lead to the appearance of a new species. Natural selection occurs WITHIN species. It does not lead to new species.
