Scientists use mathematics as a tool. But, mathematicians are not scientists by virtue of their mathematics. There are those who bridge the gap. And their are those, like Dembski, who aren't able to. (He's not a very rigorous mathematician either.)

That Dembski and Wolfram dare to look for algorithms in evolution should not be offensive.

Vacuous sensationalism.

Hugs!

Thanks for your post!

[Dembski]'s not a very rigorous mathematician either.

Are you making the same allegation of Stephen Wolfram? Roger Penrose? Max Tegmark? Jürgen Schmidhuber? Nicolo Dallaporta?

What criteria are you using to say that Dembski is not a very rigorous mathematician?
