Re: Ken Miller talk at Case Western

If the subject is to be rhetoric & argument, it's worth pointing out that your suggestions that Ken Miller is interested in fame & money verge on the ad hominem. If he genuinely believed that ID is bad for science & for religion, should he have abstained from writing or speaking about it for fear that he might become well known to the general public or that his book might sell well? Please!

  His reputation in the biology world might be beyond the proverbial 15 minutes, but without the ID debate, he wouldn't be anywhere near the celebrity he's become. Would someone like me have seen him on TV without the ID debate? Would he be selling truckloads of glossy books without the ID debate? Please.

   I do think, though, that I know a bit about rhetoric and arguments, and IMHO, from what I've observed, Ken Miller doesn't play fair.
