I'd like to correct something I wrote in an earlier post.
I said that I thought Wesley Esberry had misinterpreted Dembski in his
review of TDI
(http://inia.cls.org/~welsberr/zgists/wre/papers/dembski7.html). As a result
of some correspondence with Wesley, I'd now like to say that Wesley hasn't
misinterpreted Dembski, but that we've drawn very different conclusions from
TDI.
- Wesley (if I've understood correctly) thinks that living organisms may
fall into Dembski's "design" category, but that "design" (sensu Dembski)
doesn't necessarily imply intelligent agency.
- I think that living organisms *don't* fall into Dembski's "design"
category, but that "design" (sensu Dembski) *does* imply intelligent agency,
subject to the possibility that there may be a non-design explanation that
we haven't yet considered.
