o The "New Word: Pignorant" Award goes to Jonathan Wells, whose new
book "The Politically Incorrect Guide to Darwinism and Intelligent
Design" contained so many egregious falsehoods that the scientific
critics decided to shorten the phrase "Pig Ignorant" to simply
"PIGNORANT" in order to cope (Sept.).
o The "Last Nail in The Coffin of ID" Award goes to William Dembski,
who absolutely destroyed any remaining credibility Intelligent Design
may have had, when he responded to Judge John E. Jones' powerful
ruling of December 2005, not by defending ID in science journals, nor
in courts of law, but by parodying the judge's decision with an
Internet video that featured animated farting sounds. The Awards
Committee had the most trouble with this award, as several members
wanted to name it the "Not So Noble Gas" Award. However, all members
were agreed that Dembski edged out Wells and Coulter, and did the most
damage to ID this year. (Dec.)

Which of course neither Greg G nor the linked document produce. Just
more hot air.

Dembski's video is about hot air, too.

Part II, on the following day, is nice too.

Please insert a quarter in Drive A: for the next line.
Problem is using the term 'Darwinism'. It's a term that is used often
without clear definition most of the time. Reading the reviews doesnt
appear to confirm or deny that Darwinism is actualy defined. I know
that many have used it in this group in a kind of general label to
attack those that arnt a certain type of Christian (technically most
UK Christians at least would also be Darwinists).
It appears this is a general insult term used by an ever shrinking
group of creationists trying to adapt to a drying out pool of back
water religion. Christianity has moved on and is okay with science,
just some havnt told parts of the US.
