I'm curious. Do you know how Dembski's "explanatory filter" works?

Yet you agree with Dembski's assessment, as expressed in the linked article?

You'll have to start informing me what you are trying to say now.

<strong>

No.</strong>

Well... in a nutshell, here's how it works:

1) You tell the explanatory filter that an object is a product of intelligent design.

2) The explanatory filter then tells you that the object is a product of intelligent design.

Quite simple, actually!

You are agreeing with the final assessment of this mathematician and philosopher, one of the leading lights of "intelligent design theory."

Yet since you admit to having no idea of the mechanics of his "explanatory filter," you consequently don't know upon what allegedly empirical grounds Dembski bases his conclusion.

Doesn't this strike you as rather naive?

I am leaving but will answer this final question with:
It is the nature of the human mind. The spirit only knows the true answers.

Apparently you do understand the "explanatory filter" after all.
