Gregory,
As you say,
"It seems that you're expecting far too much from ID. Kuhn's argument about
paradigms is not the issue. Evolution may be used to explain "dinosaurs and
the moon and the Milky Way," but does it explain human-made things? This is
what I'm interested in. Pattern recognition and specifying complexity can be
(it seems) safely unconcerned with the age of the earth. Can't they? The
paradigm-shift thing is buying into Johnson-Dembski 'revolution' rhetoric.
Their 'science' just doesn't back them up."
As you say, Greogry I'm taking the "revolution" rhetoric seriously as
revealing what Johnson & Dembski and others really believe. They really do
believe this, and that the revolution will happen in *this* generation.
It won't, and their inabililty/unwillingness to articulate a "theory of
everything" is one of the reasons (IMO) why it won't.
