Nice

Intriguing essays, to be sure.

However, I would cavil at citing the example statements given in the essay on disagreement; statements predicated on the viewpoint that, somehow, Intelligent Design carries scientific weight, such as:-

I can't believe the author dismisses intelligent design in such a
cavalier fashion. Intelligent design is a legitimate scientific theory.

I am more likely to look at a book promoting intelligent design or some such semantic shill game trickery and disagree with its flawed core premises with this statement:-

I can't believe the author dismisses evolution in such a
cavalier fashion. Evolution is a legitimate scientific theory.

and I would say so confidently, based on my current understanding that evolution through natural selection is a scientifically valid theory, based on the overwhelming amount of evidence uncovered to date.
