I guess we're not at rock bottom! And here I thought being an adjunct "professor" at a North Carolina correspondence Bible college was rock bottom!
Just think, when collecting unemployment is a step above what you're currently doing is not rock bottom, that's a rocky bottom.
So, Dembski is reduced to charging $5 for a Kindle version of a year-old blog posting freely available, still, on the Internet. Srsly, Dembski, this is "leading edge" stuff? And edited by the folks who brought you Of Pandas and People, how nice!
For five bucks, Dembski, you should at least create an ID app. Call it:

Quote made him a lightning rod in the scientific community
One kind of rod, anyhow.
And really, like he's anything in the scientific community. Not even much of anything in the kook community, the only one that cares about him at all, aside from those of us who apparently enjoy laughing at old jokes.
Somehow I keep expecting slightly more honesty from these buffoons, mainly because the lies haven't done much for them. But lying seems to be all that they know to do.

oh god sparc that book description at amazon is hilarious
Quote Book Description
Publication Date: January 4, 2013
"Darwin’s Dead Idea and the Man Who Helped Kill It" makes for highly engaging reading. Witness the fascinating journey of a smart, inquisitive adolescent rejecting his school’s ask-no-questions religious indoctrination into a mathematician, philosopher, and scientist of the highest order, one who today is powerfully and persuasively challenging academia’s reigning answer to the questions that haunt us all: Where did we come from? Why is there something rather than nothing? A leading spokesman for the scientific theory that is shattering materialist assumptions about reality and the origin of life, Dr. William Dembski responds to probing questions from James Barham, general editor of TheBestSchools.org. That interview forms the core of DDI. Dembski’s forthright and humbly restrained responses reveal the courage, perseverance, and original thinking that have made him a lightning rod in the scientific community. The heated controversy surrounding intelligent design theory dramatically confirms Machiavelli’s observation that there is nothing more difficult to carry out nor more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to handle, than to initiate a new order of things. DDI introduces readers to one of the stellar lights of the new order of things now emerging on the horizon.
Wonderfully 'humbly restrained' of them, ain't it?

Darwin's Dead Idea and the Man Who Helped Kill It contains a modified version of John Barnham's interview with William Dembski first published on his TheBestSchools.org blog.
At the time of the interview (it was published on January 12, 2012) Dembski was expecting that the proceedings of the secret meeting of ID-creationists at Cornell University would be published by Springer. Luckily, Biological Information: New Perspectives didn't appear and they thus skipped Dembski’s following statement:
Quote For instance, I have a very substantial anthology coming out with a major academic publisher, but I’m not at liberty to say where until it actually comes out, because Darwinists have the disturbing habit of trying to get publication agreements for ID-friendly literature revoked.
I hope he knows that we found the first evidence for <i>Biological Information: New Perspectives</i> in his CV on his own designinference.com pages.

I finally noticed a 2009 review of 2004's "Why Intelligent Design Fails" by CMI's Lita Cosner that actually attempts to address the chapter by Jeff Shallit and me. That was about Dembski's CSI. I've posted a response on my blog.
Cosner is merely another of the folks who apparently didn't get it. She seems not quite as arrogant as some others, but she is still just as wildly wrong.

Another Uninformed Critique of WIDF Fails
In 2009, Lita Cosner of Creation Ministries International posted a review of the 2004 book “Why Intelligent Design Fails”, claiming in summary that there was nothing in the book to cause discomfort to an “informed creationist”, and that actual problems for “intelligent design” creationism were rare in the book. Here in 2013, let’s have a [...]

This doesn't really fit any other thread, so I'm putting it here because it is somewhat related to to the subject of science. Sense About Science has a number of interesting publications - mainly concerning skepticism. There are also some about how peer review works and such. The publications are directed towards educating the public rather than scientists.

A Separate Thread for Gary Gaulin
Post by The whole truth
Gary, I strongly recommend that you get away from the internet or at least this site for awhile and spend some quality time with your wife and/or others who are close to you. You can always come back later. The battle for your 'theory' can be fought at another time.

Quote (Tracy P. Hamilton @ Feb. 10 2013,17:38) Quote (Doc Bill @ Feb. 08 2013,18:11)Seems that old Dembski has moved to Iowa, at least the house that registered his GoDaddy site is in Pella, Iowa. Also, he lists his employment as "part-time" with a Bible college in North Carolina that has five resident "faculty."
Quite a fall from his days as a hot shot at the University of Chicago. He'll be drinking Woolite out of a brown paper bag next.
Too bad Dembski insisted on really, really trying to prove things that are not true. That is a rather difficult road to travel for a mathematician. Dembski coulda been somebody, coulda been a contender!
For what? A deluded punch drunk black and white back seat passenger?

NY Times's "Unlikely Ally": Intelligent Design
The article in the Times does not really try to answer Nagel, let alone Steve Meyer, so much as to pile up negative testimonials from opponents.

OK, I apologise; you made a joke and I thought your flippant aside was ironic - I was wrong. I do encourage you, however, to pay attention to others' comments re your communications skills.

For that matter, what the hell is an "out small paragraph"? Gary, you are the worst writer in the world. Acknowledging the problem is the beginning to solving it. Of course, this will do nothing to help your other obvious disabilities. It would be a start to something better, however.
Gary answers:
Quote out small paragraphs = small out of place paragraphs that need to be taken out
and without a gram of self awareness, adds:
Quote , of course.
Gary, you Just. Don't. Get. It.
If you must know then it was a typo, from getting bored trying to make it perfect then I just sent the damned thing before I spent an hour fussing with it.
I thought you would find the humor in my rather obvious bad excuse, for a big typo, of course.
Why try to hide a typo? But, more importantly, why not acknowledge that you have no skill at writing when you admit that it would take you a full hour to proof a couple of paragraphs for a one word typo? If that is true it means that it might take you days (weeks?) to author two paragraphs that were readable and informative. You're on the verge of admitting you have a problem, just take the plunge.

I'm not sure, but I just happened across a brand new video ahead of a new album Magnetic with a rebel sound ARRL look that all here need to give a listen to: Goo Goo Dolls - *New Single* "Rebel Beat"
The way the song gets going seems to have some fans wondering what happened to their sound, but it does not seem to bother the steadfast welcoming the change to this musically innovative a sound and rare “Rebel” theme that this song in a way seems to bring back again but the rebel in the song is like a fill in the blank to (at least for now) apply for all the rebels reading here who are not afraid of scientific theory like this. Hopefully it works for Ftk’s slower connection after pressing pause to buffer ahead.
