What it appears to me that ID is doing is try to perform an end run around the scientific method, and then trying to call their theory science. I don't consider it such, and I don't believe most other scientists do either.

All I ask is for a quantitative algorithm that I can test. If I apply the algorithm to this sentence, for example, it will say "designed", but if I apply it to a series of randomly generated words, it will say "not designed". If they don't have such an algorithm in hand, then they have nothing.

Agreed.

Do I remember right that you said once you are a Deist?
