He thinks Baptists are too stupid to understand Science? He has to speak to them ‘in their own language’ about ‘offense of the gospel’ that would be committed by acceptance of Science?

You are deliberately misunderstanding his point. He was not talking about science but likening what the school is doing to the powers that be in the first century suppresing the church'ws message for their "offense" of preaching the gospel.

I challenge you to read any one of Dembski's scientific papers and tell me whether you can find anything relating to God, the Bible or Jesus Christ in them. There is none.

So no, Dembski does not say that Baptists are too stupid to understand science. he is simply saying that what they are doing is akin to the powers that be in the early church age suppressing the message of the gospel.

No, he is likening ‘suppressing’ HIS message (by denying the authority of Baylor University) DIRECTLY to an ‘Offense of the Gospel’; because to them he wishes to represent the “DEFENDER OF THE FAITH” against that nasty Science that ‘Offends the Gospel’ i.e. his interpretation of the Gospel.

When a Scientist falls back on the Gospel as his authority for the authenticity of his data or conclusions he has lost his way. He is doing Apologetics not Science. Moreover Dumbski has signed on to a PR outfit that seeks to overturn the very nature of Science itself (see the “wedge” document).

To Dumbski opposing him is opposing the Gospel. This makes him an egotistical twit as a theologist (syn theologian) and someone doing apologetics not Science.

You can try to spin it all you want. His words are there in black and white. Denying the name of Baylor to his ID work is an ‘offense of the gospel’ in his wrongheaded way of thinking.
