Dembski, whose recent book, The Design Inference, presents in
great detail how the Intelligent Design argument satisfies
logic and probability, likes to compare the movement's
influence on science to the freedom and democracy movements
and their effect on Eastern Europe. Criticism of Darwinism
now threatens the hegemony of Darwinism, he says, just as the
move toward freedom upset the Soviet empire.
[End Quote - S Goode, <http://www.arn.org/docs/insight499.htm>]
The particular bit of rhetoric attributed to William Dembski
in the above is simply vile, and thus I hope that Dembski was
misrepresented in this instance by the reporter. Does anyone
know whether this really is or is not an allusion of Dembski's
own usage?
I would like to have a more direct reference to its use by
Dembski if it is supposed to be his own. Reporters all too
frequently mess up these things.
