Earlier this month we celebrated Paul Nelson Day. Today is yet another ID-related (and as it happens, also Paul Nelson related) anniversary. Four years ago, I posted a piece (reprinted a year and a half later here) on Nelson's forthcoming monograph on common descent. By now, it has been "forthcoming" for eleven years. At the time of my original post, Nelson claimed that he was "carefully doing a good job with a rich and difficult topic" but also noted that he and Dembski "have been working on a shorter article, with some of the monograph's main points, which we plan to submit to the best peer-reviewed biology journal we can find."

It has become sort of a tradition for me to present an end-of-year roundup of the "achievements" of the intelligent design movement. Last year I noted that the IDists achieved even less than in the previous year, noting that they had achieved so little that I actually didn't blog much on ID. This…
LOL. Oh the hilarity! They're editing, and re-editing, and re-editing...
I'm surprised they found the time to spell 'monograph'.
It's so late because they're very carefully and methodically going through it and replacing "creationists" with "cdesign proponentsists".
The traditional gift is steel, the traditional flower is a morning glory, and the traditional gemstone is turquoise. So you can ask for a bouquet of steel morning glories inlaid with turquoise. They're working on them...
