To Steve Jones & Brian Harper:

Pulled down Bill Dembski's paper from the NTSE site last night and tried to
wade through it. He also has a paper in the book THE CREATION HYPOTHESIS,
edited by J. P. Moreland; I did better understanding that one! I think the
NTSE paper is still a wip.

I am off-put by Dembski's habit of "semi-referencing" papers he has yet to
publish. "Always NEXT week the good movie will come." Maybe this is common
practce; I don't know.

I am looking forward to hearing him speak at the NTSE and (hopefully)
fielding some questions from the audience (unlikely that I'll know enough
to be a questioner). I am on the verge of thinking I may just possibly
understand what he is talking about! Question -- does it not appear that
his whole argument is one "by analogy?" Or is there more to it than that?
