I see it as intellectual totalitarianism to publicly call out your intellectual opponents with ad hominems suggesting no sane person even listens to them when the issue which is really at point, what is the source for the basis of one's own theory, is utterly ignored. I didn't say he said what he said, I said he didn't say it and his utter silence doesn't make it go away.

Check these two examples:

Fifth Dimension

Quantum Cat States

I suppose I'd say that an essay is not a treatise. And it's a question still being investigated by physicists and cosmologists whether our cosmic bubble (with its physical laws and conditions) is the only one or whether perhaps it's only one of myriads (the number 10⁵⁰⁰ gets bandied about by 'landscape' folks like Susskind).

But the question whether intelligent design is really science or not (Dawkins and many others, myself included, say it isn't) doesn't depend on the precise character of our physical laws at the deepest level or whether those laws are unique in the wider universe.
