So does "Last Sundayism, Jim."
What the ID hypothesis does NOT have is much
help in formulating new research plans. If it did -- or --
when SETI finally reports a "positive," it will have
more help -- and will find more favor.
"Last Sundayism" of course, as expounded brilliantly
by Gosse in OMPHALOS, explains everything -- and nothing.
And it leads to no research ideas at all! ID is
in a little better situation -- but not much.
