Casey Luskin, formerly of the IDEA club and now working for the Discovery Institute, has been busily blogging the Dover trial over the last couple weeks, posting responses to the testimony of the expert witnesses. Unfortunately for the DI, it's clear that he is just in way, way over his head here. Richard Hoppe already debunked his response to Rob Pennock's testimony about AVIDA, I've debunked his entry claiming that ID does not require a supernatural creator, and now Mike Dunford has taken aim at his absurd claims about Ken Miller's testimony regarding chromosomal fusing in humans and apes. And this one is a bullseye.
