To quote my recent response to you:
"OOL researchers are *not* claiming to have scientific evidence of OOL.
Dembski *is* claiming to have scientific evidence of ID. Important
difference. (Didn't I already make this point to you on the ARN board?)"

This is silly. Dembski claims to have a method for detecting design and to
have used this method to detect ID. OOL researchers do not claim to know the
processes that led to the OOL.

"Do the calculation. Take the numbers seriously. See if the underlying
probabilities really are small enough to yield design."
-- W. A. Dembski, who has never presented any calculation to back up his
claim to have detected Intelligent Design in life.
