If Darwinists Wonder Why ID Is Gaining Adherents, All They Need Do Is Look In The Mirror

Evangelical Outpost has a list of reasons why.

BTW, if any Darwinist makes the typical comment : "This is ignorant. Just what is a 'Darwinist', anyway?", my answer is: "If you don't know, than why do you assume I'm talking about you?" Another answer might be, "A Darwinist is someone who gets a kick out of seeing the following mocking item stuck on the back of a car: a Christian fish with legs added, which rather than the greek letters IXOYE, contains Roman letters within it spelling a certain name."

And if he makes the comment that ID is losing ground, I can only observe that it is a mainstream topic today. Ten years ago, no one knew about it. If this is losing ground, then I hope it loses a lot more.

Personally, I always got a bigger kick out of the (presumably unintentional) irony of the bumper decals with a Jesus fish eating or stomping on a Darwin fish than seeing the Darwin fish itself.

The real problem with the list is that four of those claims are distortions of the scientific arguments against ID; the fifth (#2) is a true claim, as documented by Judge John E. Jones.

I am not sure how one can claim Richard Sternberg is "not an advocate of ID" -- he is on the editorial board of "Occasional Papers of the BSG" and a Fellow of the Discovery Institute-related ISCID, including presenting a paper ("Causal entailments in convergently developed, irreducibly complex organ systems") at ISCID's 2002 "RAPID" conference on ID.
