Re: Late Steve Gould's friend asks NCSE to alter wording of "Steve" statement

Jason Rosenhouse adds his own observations to the
Gould 'scandal', focusing on both Dembski's self
contradictory comments as well as on Denyse's
'arguments.

Seems the real scandal is how ID proponents argue that
when Gould is quoted in support of natural selection,
he must obviously have been misleading, or threatened
or whatever other silly accusation can be leveled at
him. After all, the idea that Gould was actually
arguing his own beliefs must be simply too
unbelievable to ID proponents.
