Should be interesting.

The links to the actual webcast site are on the page I link to above. Starts at 7pm... going to guess central time.

Look at: Comment #67074

Dembski's shutting down his blog.

quote:
Note that this is NOT like the usual Dembski, who can#8217;t keep his mouth shut most times. It highly suggests that the DI is keeping a very short leash on him these days, while they try to push the #8220;ID is not religious#8221; slogan, that Dembski in many public comments has seen fit to scuttle himself.

In fact, it seems reasonable to conclude that cross examination of Dembski at trial would have revealed his many public statements of the religious nature of ID, hence that#8217;s why his #8220;expert#8221; testimony was not, er #8220;required#8221;#8230;

I hope somebody out there made a library of some of the dumbass stuff Dembski said on UD before it becomes truly #8220;mothballed#8221;.

Note that in that Panda's Thumb comments section they comment of Dembski not showing up at the debate. Same comment number I listed before.

Yet Dembski's the one who once said:
quote:
I therefore await the day when the hearings are not voluntary but involve subpoenas that compel evolutionists to be deposed and interrogated at length on their views. There are ways for this to happen, and the wheels are in motion (e.g., Congressional hearings over the teaching of biology in federally funded high schools for military kids). For such hearings to have the desired effect, however, will require that evolutionists be asked the right questions.



He wants to interrogate scientists, but he's too fucking cowardly to show up an an oral debate (which is the only kind of debate their kind likes in the first place)?


What a sodding hypocrite.

Too bad he wasn't even allowed by the DI to go to the Dover Trial.

Just finished listning. It was good!

Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.

Why not question something for a change?

Dang it! My pathetic excuse for a computer won't handle it without shutting everything else down. And then I get it in bits and pieces spaced a long way apart.

The last thing Dembski wants is to get the likes of Joe Meert, Glenn Morton, or Gary Hurd on the stand under oath, expecally if he too must testify. But I guess it sounds good even though, at this point at least, it ain't happenin'. It is easy to be brave in the face of small threat.

I can understand his frustration. Thus far, everything he's touched has turned to shit -- with the possible exception of his barbecue joint. But y'know, if he really wants to vent his spleen, he could always come here.....

DI is wise to keep this blithering loose-cannon closely tethered.

Just finished watching. Definitely enjoyed it. Dr. Ken Miller is a very good speaker.
