ID advocate William Dembski recently launched the new <a href="http://www.iscid.org/" target="_blank">ISCID</a>, the International Society for Complexity, Information, and Design. The society's contact information is as follows, and can be found on this page: <a href="http://www.iscid.org/contact.php" target="_blank">iscid Contact Information</a>.

Notice that they have a "suite" located in Princeton with phone extentions for their officers and managers (except, oddly enough, the Office Manager).

Here's a picture of the "suite":



Those phones must be tiny.

Enjoy!

They're cellular. And of course, they were designed to be telephones.

Now now, look what Mendel started in a tiny pea garden.

Hilarious! How did you find this out? Did you go there and look?

Prokaryotic or eukaryotic?

Actually, I was lurking on ARN last night and saw it posted there. Here's the <a href="http://www.arn.org/ubb/Forum1/HTML/001378-2.html" target="_blank">link</a>. I guess I should have linked to it in the first place.

Pretty funny stuff, especially the pro-I.D. reactions to what they call a "cheap shot".

I've lurked at ARN off and on for a while, and even started posting there recently. I will go back to lurking, more off than on, as I have found the discussions there singularly unstimulating. (I find it especially remarkable that a thread on biblical literalism has gone on and on, whereas my questions and comments on "purpose and design" generated practically no comments or discussion at all.)

It is a bit of a cheap shot, though rather funny.

Paraphrasing an ARN poster: it's not a cheap shot, it's a very clear photograph.

Seriously though, if Dembski and co. want to gain prestige by claiming to have a Princeton office, then they've set themselves up for this kind of thing. This is not atypical; the DI has a habit of renting rooms at prestigious universities and then claiming that one of their events was "held" at that university. This really underscores the political nature of the ID movement.

Well, I suppose there is some dishonesty in the way they pump themselves up. Still, best not to dwell on it too much or we'll be accused of focusing on irrelevant distractions.
