Absolutely not, I see the difference; I thought you were stating that they were the same… In fact, you implied funding for research.

I have an unfortunate sense of humor.

My point was order, in some cases very beautiful and complex order, arises spontaneously from chaos all the time. The physical laws that govern this were worked out in the 19th century, and they in no way contradict evolution. Dembski seems to think he's discovered a different, and more mysterious kind of order. If he has, all I can say is that no one describing it in any way I find accessible has shown me why this order is anything different from what we've long understood.

And no, I'm not going to waste my time finding and reading Dembski's work in the original just because none of its admirers seem to be able to explain it ; I've never read Newton's Principia either, yet I think I have a fair grasp of calculus.
