Point Counterpoint

At Bill Dembski's blog, Clive Hayden reads my law review article and finds it to be "inaccurate," "prideful," and "a kind of disconnected cluster of arguments that reads like a brainstorm (concerned with quantity of arguments over quality), that could only persuade the uninformed."

Meanwhile, an email correspondent affiliated with a natural history museum writes:

I wanted to write and congratulate you (and thank you) for the very concise and well-written "legal" paper on the trajectory of ID after Dover (in the Saint Thomas Journal). Very nicely done!

Given that Hayden inaccurately describes Dembski's papers as "peer-reviewed," and seems not to have read the parts of the paper which specifically address ID's status as creationism, I'm putting more weight on the latter assessment.

Due to work stuff, I'm very busy this week, and I don't have time to write a detailed pathological language post, so I chose something that doesn't take a lot of explanation, but
While browser over at programming.reddit.com, I came across something simultaneously hideous and amazing.
I saw it at Julie's.
"American Music," the Violent Femmes "California Stars," Billy Bragg and Wilco "The City of New Orleans," Arlo Guthrie "Song to Woody," Bob Dylan "The Body of an American," the Pogues

Since the Asperger's vs. Accommodationists debate seems to be in a lull for a while, I have a strange question - is there an Ohio blog similar to Thoughts from Kansas?

Also, having read "Intelligent Design: The Bridge Between Science & Theology" and "Darwin's Black Box," I am now working my way through "Signature in the Cell."

Pity me.

Clive just mis-spelled. He meant that Dr. Dr. D's work is always "pier reviewed"... i.e. always fit to take a long walk off of a short pier.

ps: Clive is such a putz anyway. He is the new Official Keeper Of Dembski's tighty-whiteys at UD, and it would be hard to find a more slimey sorry creature.

For that slur, you will hear from DaveScot and his lawyers over at AtBC,JDog. He's not fit to oil Dave's Iron Maiden!
