Re: [asa] Rejoinder 6D From Timaeus – for Iain Strachan, Jon Tandy and Others

And, Tim, you also wrote" In the lifetime of the younger people
reading this, Darwinism will be openly criticized and even mocked on
university campuses, and design theory will be a recognized component
of biological studies, including evolution. And remember that you
heard it from Timaeus first."

No, I heard that many years ago, from one Phillip Johnson, at the
Austin conference on Feb 20-23, 1997. See my report of that excellent
conference, published in ORIGINS and DESIGN, at
www.burgy.50megs.com/ntseoad.htm. I challenged him on it when he said
the change would come quickly -- within a year or two. At that time I
was still studying the ID movement; I guess that process continues. I
really appreciate the efforts you are making here.

Ted adds: Several years ago, in response to the repeated refrain from many
friends that ID will replace Darwinian evolution in our generation, I
accepted a wager from Jon Wells. If this doesn't happen in the next (how
many?) years, he owes me lunch. If I simply in good enough health at the
time, frankly I'll be happy enough to buy him lunch if he's right.
