Hoyles designer is a greater intellect from Whoknowswhere, Behes designer is God. That's the only difference and it "falsifies" Judge Jones holding.
Sorry, my friend, but I think I'm going to bow out of this foursome here. I can't see myself wasting too much more time on a guy who thinks fair play is kicking his opponent's ball into the rough.
I don't think so. Hoyle has a purely scientific alternative "explanation" to part earthy evolution. ID, other than with the hand of man, ain't science beyond the big bang I don't think. Yes, OK it is a battle over semantics, which so often gets us bogged down when elucidating the competing arguments.
A reference to ID was on the sticker wasn't it by the way?
I realize on the reread that your point was too subtle for me to catch the first time. Maybe there was evolution on some other planet, and if only we could study it, it would fill in all the gaps. You DO have a point, but the word "falsifies" is too strong, because a scientist is just saying we can't explain it within the mechanisms of earth, and dumps it out into "secular" space, and calls it a day. He does not posit a higher power as being a possible explanation. I think the judge might have bought off on a mere reference to panspermia. :)
