Does the theory of "intelligent design" deserve more support within academe? Should scientists be speaking out against this movement?
The most recent responses appear first
"There are no known natural causes. There are only theoretically proposed causes..."
"Prof. Lucas, I wonder whether you're willing to use "comparison to the environment" as the only criterion for telling whether something has been designed..."
"It seems to me that Behe tied #1 and #2 together so tightly that he really needs both..."
"Melburn Thurman: I realize that your comments went well beyond the monolith case; I was merely making the point that IC is not the only way to recognize design..."
"Professor Moody: Thank you for your answer..."
"Melburn Thurman asks..."
"Professor Lucas: I made my submission on archaeology before seeing yours..."
"Unfortunately, Behe is to blame for the definitional confusion pointed out in post #268..."
"It is not quite the case that the field of archaeology is based upon Intelligent Design conceptualizations, as Mr. Hirsch states..."
"Roland Hirsch concludes his note with..."
"No theologians seem to have contributed to this lengthy colloquy. That's sort of curious..."

"AAACK! Prof Ryan, are we now to have a new definition of IC?..."
"Moody writes..."
"Prof. Okimoto, I think we agree..."
"Moody errs when he states that IC implies ID..."
"Regarding scientific plausibility, Todd Moody says..."
"Professor Swan writes..."
"I am not relying upon old physics..."
"I certainly owe a reply to Nic Tamzek's question..."
"Todd Moody compares ID to SETI..."
"Jim Ryan provides four criteria for elucidating design..."
