I am not a fan of Dembski, but he is a PhD mathematician and the most respected theoretician in the ID movement. If any alternatives to evolution get taught in science classes, it will be the works of Dembski and Behe. Their writings and ideas are the basis of textbooks like “Pandas and People” and “Exploring Evolution.”
Behe and Dembski post at Uncommon Descent, which is where I go to see what the latest anti-Darwinian thinking is.

I’m not either really- but liek you say- He is a smart dude, and does have soem important hypothesis’ from time to time- but I think He’s barkign up the wrong tree with his proposal for a 4’th ‘law’ of informaiton conservation. I’ll explain why in a bit-

I think the content of this thread’s paper might infact prove more important than either man’s proposals really- I’ve been looking at hte other thread GGG posted on ‘Junk DNA’, and it’s just simply amazing hte amount of info, and the myriad of systems and subsystems that all work flawlessly for hte most part- it’s mindbogglign that such small subsystems can be so instrumental with trillions of processes goign on all at once- This woudl require such a tremendous amount of informaiton that it just doesn’t seem possible for nature to be the supplier of the regulating metainfo.

I didn’t realize Behe posted there too? I’ve read numerous Behe articles, but mainly on his own site and other blogs, but didn’t know He postedo n uncommondescent- I dissagree with soem of what both of htem think and propose, but again, liek you ssaid, they are quite influential, and do have soem very important contributions to make but wow- do they get ripped apart by other blogs and websites-
