Oh but he did. The Coyoteman tried to change it to a scientific discussion. He also posed it as an evolution vs. ID debate. Rather than defend any of his assumptions, he presented them as dogma without any logical debate.

Plus, he was a bit guilty of being somewhate selective of his facts concerning the debates in the19th and 20th centuries. But all of that was beside the point, because it had nothing to do with the logic of the underlying assertion. It was all noise and had no logical point to the challenge I offered.

I grant you that he tried to use induction, but not very effectively. Besides, he is a three exclamation point evolutionists, and therefore is disqualified from using anything other than deduction (because he disallows it automatically from IDers).

Then you agree he did not "change the rules." I accept your retraction.

Now, about your new claims. His post was not "all noise" because I could read it and understand his point. Nor was it logically unrelated to your challenge. Finally, I didn't see any "assumptions presented as dogma," as you call it, in his post.
