Well, that's *some* progress. Though I note he stops short of admitting that
he misrepresented Dennett.

What>follows is a passage from Ron Numbers's _Darwinism Comes to America_>(Harvard University Press, 1998, p. 13). Note that Numbers understands>Dennett exactly as Bill did:This is the same extract quoted by Mike earlier. I find it rather odd thatsupporters of Dembski try to justify his misquotation by showing anotheranti-evolutionist also misquoting Dennett!
I wonder if we can expect a partial retraction from Numbers too.
