...and yet another non-credible Creationist pseudoscience video.
Here we have William Dembski at RationalWiki:
http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/William_Dembski

William Dembski is one of the main pushers of the pseudoscience of
intelligent design, specifically his unfalsifiable concept of
"specified complexity".

Unusually for a creationist, he does in fact have some actual
credentials: a Ph.D in mathematics from the University of Chicago, a
Ph.D in philosophy from the University of Illinois at Chicago, and a
Masters of Divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary. Now, if only
one those fine institutions recognized Intelligent Design as being
anything but an absolute hodgepodge of nonsense, he'd be set.
In 2012, he taught as the Phillip E. Johnson Research Professor of
Science and Culture at the Southern Evangelical Seminary in North
Carolina. As of 2013, Dembski serves as a senior fellow of the
Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture or "CSC".
Thus; despite having been educated at real universities, he "lectures"
and "does research" at institutions that are at the very deep end of
overtly faith-driven pseudoscience.

...but pretty well educated and a descent mathematician. Dembski
is one guy who really should know better then to bury his nose in
pseudo-science.

Insults are the last resort of insecure people
with a crumbling position trying to appear

So "Darwinism" looks more feeble than ever as a designation.

A transparently dishonest idiot who prostitutes his scientific
credentials to pose as an authority when he spews his nonsense.

Anaximander, born circa 610 BCE.

The idiots imagine Darwin came up with it, but his contribution was
the first scientifically derived explanation for what was already
known among those studying wildlife and geology.

His publication of Origin in 1859 brought it to the attention of the
general public because the recently invented steam-operated printing
press meant it was published in much larger numbers than it would have
been a couple of decades earlier, and the rapidly expanding railway
system meant it was distributed far and wide.

Oh yes. You should watch the video that I posted the link to right
after I posted "Molecular Machines and the Death of Darwinism".

That's "The Pagan Roots of The Philosophy of Evolution" at

You guys go way back.

You're welcome.

I don't think Democratus was pagan. He was an Atheist.

Pagan implies the worship of rural gods.

Of course during the Christian era vast amounts of scientific knowledge was lost or hidden.

Yeah, I know, I know. Read my next post to you.

Thanks for that unsupported opinion.
