Wesley doesn't get it either. ID doesn't have to work to prove
design. ID does not have to work to exclude non-teleological
causation. ID does not have to work to convince Wesley
R. Elsberry. It only has to work to generate understanding
about our biotic world. That's all. It's that simple. And the
best thing of all is that I don't have to hope or speculate that
ID might work in this way someday. I have already experienced
it to work in this way.
It is the world, and not some community defined by their
games rules, that will be the judge.
