Humor is all that remains of this debate, Howard.
It's just too tedious to go into issues (e.g., "extra-
natural assembly") that you and I and Dembski
and dozens of others have debated for over a
decade now. As I recall, we first wrangled on
design in 1988, when I was a graduate student.
Your position hasn't changed a jot since then.
All that I have left are semi-humorous replies. Sorry.

It does sound better. But here's a deal.
You find me an example of intelligent design that does
*not* involve the action of an agent, and I'll happily
use your preferred label. Until then: give it a rest.
