Self-authenticating private evidence is useless, because it is indistinguishable from the illusion of it. ― Kel, Kelosophy Blog

If you’re going to watch tele, you should watch Scooby Doo. That show was so cool because every time there’s a church with a ghoul, or a ghost in a school. They looked beneath the mask and what was inside?

Behe's official "disclaimer" from his page at Lehigh University.

Quote:My ideas about irreducible complexity and intelligent design are entirely my own. They certainly are not in any sense endorsed by either Lehigh University in general or the Department of Biological Sciences in particular. In fact, most of my colleagues in the Department strongly disagree with them.

Translation - his colleagues think he is a fucking nutjob.

Reminds me of that bit from Blackadder II with Tom Baker:

Edmund: "I was under the impression that it was common maritime practice for a ship to have a crew?"

Captain Rum: "Opinion is divided on the subject ... All the other captains say it is; I say it isn't."

In fact, this sums up the entire ID/cretinism / evolution 'debate'.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

They've been shoehorning scientific discoveries that contradict doctrine into their ethos for hundreds of years, this one might be a stretch but I'm sure they would soon think up some bollocks to justify it. After the initial period of outright denial of course.

I'm sure it would be proof of gods power to fill the universe with life.

or if no aliens are ever discovered.

proof that humans and earth are specially loved by god.

See they got it covered eiher way.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
