Intelligent Design Theorist Removes Link to Critic (Me)

Posted by Ernest Miller

Four days ago, I posted about Intelligent Design theorist William Dembski's blog post calling for bringing evolutionists before a government panel so the truth could be squeezed out of them (Borrowing a Page From Lysenko, Intelligent Design Theorist Demands Gov't. Hearings). I linked to his post (The Vise Strategy: Squeezing the Truth out of Darwinists) and provided a trackback. The trackback has been removed from Dembski's post. I was critical, certainly, but hardly abusive. I guess Dembski just doesn't appreciate criticism - a trackback to a critical posting on the Panda's Thumb was also removed (More evidence that the Kansas Kangaroo Court didn’t go well for ID). Thanks, arcticpenguin!

I posted a number of things to Bill Dembski's blog, none of them abusive. For example, one scordova poster (on "The Vise Strategy..." had suggested that evolution lacks "standards of real science" and would be shown as such in a court of law. I asked him what standards of real science it lacked; my post was removed within an hour and I was banned (it was my first or second post to the blog). Dembski has now explained (apparently, reiterated) why he does this:

I get a kick out of his "don't bore me" tact.

Don't worry. ID-ists are on a collision course with a less pleasant enlightenment anyway.

Ultimately, they'll end up converging definitions of intelligence with scientists such that the universe is defined as an emergent system exhibiting behaviour previously considered the unique purview of intelligent beings.

If the universe is simply the evolution of an intrinsically intelligent system, who needs an extra-universal super-being to design it?

ID-ists need to check out Jeff Conway's Game of Life.
