Very true and exactly Wesley's point. Others have also indicated that before
one can make a coherent argument one needs a coherent foundation, evidence
supporting and the foundation. CSI needs to be shown to exist and then it
needs to be shown how apparant CSI can be distinguished from real CSI and
that evolutionary algorithms generate only apparant CSI.
So much work to do. Perhaps Paul can tell us how Dembski is doing on these
aspects?

Wesley's genetic algorithms will, probably, not be deemed an

The thought had crossed my mind as well. We shall see how the response from
the ID crowd addresses these issues.
