when I will know ASA is making a difference: Darwinists are attacking
ASA the way they attack ID, and mixing Dembski's position up with Miller's,
so Discovery Institute is writing a clarifying letter to Nature. Lemme know
when that happens.

Ted replies:
It has happened, Denyse. You probably don't remember this, but when the ASA
published the little booklet about Teaching Science in a Climate of
Controversy (or some title close to that), California atheist William
Bennetta (sp?) organized a bunch of atheistic scientists in an effort to use
the "creationist" mantra to dismiss the ASA. They surely mixed up our
position with that of Henry Morris, in a deliberately misleading effort to
discredit the ID-friendly suggestions in that booklet. Ron Numbers writes
about this in The Creationists, if you want the full details; I don't have
the book here at home to cite specifically.

Is that an appropriate answer?
