And for comparison’s sake, you may note that HG’s comment was NOT expunged! (that, and I’m commenting to a blog post that’s almost a year old!)

HG, your statement is quite useless in this context. Despite Intelligent Design’s ties to Creation Science, they attempt to explain the universe based upon scientific observations, only the ultimate explanation is a designer. The scientific method is a method of observation, and that is limited to what we can observe – the physical world and the actions that take place in it. If you’re refering to metaphysics, Natural Selection makes no affront upon what no one can observer or make claims about. If you’re threatened by science, please just continue to ignore it.

The scientific method which advances Darwin’s theory is premised upon the philosophy that matter is the only objective evidence. The premise is not subject to the scientific method nor can it be. A scientific method which excludes its own premise is illogical and demands explanation. Would someone like to try?

Dembski’s ego really needs a leash. He can’t help but put his mug up on everything. Is the site about the …cough…science of ID or is it some self promotion tool?
I guess he’s thinking he can out-wow science with hip terms like “Zany” and “Wacky”. Kids will really find it Groovy and the Bees-Knees.

Burn!
I’m signing up for this junk website, I want to see what the youth of America thinks about science! They must certainly understand biological systems far greater than the men and women around the globe who are currently studying the facets of a little ol’ theory. Dembski, here’s your shot at converting an “evolutionist.”

For a site that boldly proclaims by virtue of its name that it has ‘overwhelming evidence’, there seems to be a distinct lack of actual content. I actually registered and posted a blog entry to that affect (using my best teenage vernacular).
I asked in the nicest possible way that I was disappointed not actually find any evidence of ID on the site at all, let alone of the overwhelming variety. I posted thislate Sunday night and by early Monday morning my blog entry had already been expunged. So much for being modelled on MySpace…

the thing is, it’s sooooo fake. Some “high school student” asks “when are Behe and Dembski coming out with new books?” and then another “high school student” “happens to stumble onto the site” and helpfully points to blurbs for Behe’s new piece of crap…etc…surely high school students are sharp enough to see through this kind of silly sock puppetry…surely…

Maybe they can compile and publicize a List of Children Who Believe in Intelligent Design.

On the homepage the list of “Highest Users”. I supposed it does help to be stoned to believe this stuff, but isn’t taking drugs against their faith?

I’m wondering whether this sort of lame pseudo-hipsterism can actually work to the end that Dembski wants it to. If it does, then the Enlightenment and indeed humanity in general may be a lost cause..

Dembski’s “uncommondescent” site has not been about science for a long time. It is strictley a religious site, there is no discussion of science, any contrary comments are deleted. That’s what theocracy’s do. the new site follows in that traditon. In order to follow Dembski’s view you need to fail the entrance test.

From the Catholic Church to the Communist Party, youth movements have a long and well documented history as a vital part of totalitarian movements. Will the Dembski Youth get a uniform?

Ugh. Dembski is such a sick asshole. As far as I'm concerned, It is he who is the child abuser
