in "peer-reviewed" articles on the "science" of "intelligent design".

They started their own "peer-reviewed" journal..

<a href="http://www.iscid.org/pcid/2002/1/1/pcid_contents_2002_1_1.php" target="_blank">Progress in Complexity, Information and Design</a>

I can see it now...listings of all the "legitimate" science published after "peer-review". All presented at the "next" Ohio controversy.

I need to pad my pubs count. Maybe I'll go to the lab and see if I can catch jeebus interacting with a plate of E. coli in the direction and design of a new pathway to produce a new nasty toxin to torment mankind. I'll bet I can crap out a paper about how goddidit by Monday.

The International Society for Complexity, Information, and Design (ISCID) is a cross-disciplinary professional society that investigates complex systems apart from external programmatic constraints like materialism, naturalism, or reductionism.

Isn't that kinda like what Sylvia Browne, John Edward, and Miss Cleo do?

man, you've gotta hate those nasty "external programmatic constraints".

They are such a nuisance to "proving" whatever you want with a good old-fashioned, long-winded load of rhetorical horse manure.

We have such earth-shattering and ground breaking articles as "Why Natural Selection Can't Design Anything" by none other than Bill Dembski, and a book review entitled "Finding Miller's King"! Next the creationists will form their own version of the Nobel prizes and hand them to themselves for such scientific masterpieces as "Why Darwin Really, Really Stinks".

Actually, it did have some interesting articles with merit, aside from the usual creationist crap, including "Dymanical Complexity and Regularity".

Not to be confused with "Prunes and Regularity."

OK, they got the journal part. Now we just have to get them to understand that "peer reviewed" means reviewed by actual biologists.

Actually, they already do have their own awards: The Wedgies. They presented several to anti-evolutionist Kansas Board of Education members and a couple of other anti-evos at their "Darwin, Design & Democracy II" extravaganza last summer in Kansas City.

ROFLMAO!!!

You're kidding, of course? The Wedgie award?

I can just see a whole series of Dilbert cartoons, with Bob the dinosaur returning to give the Wedgie awards!

Are any local infidels planning on crashing DDD III in Kansas City in July?

Some science supporters will probably attend. I don't think I could take it again.
