Re: [asa] Letter to thinking Christians (and other theists)

Well, finally the other shoe dropped -- Bill Dembski removed me from the UD
discussion. I invite you all to take a look at what I wrote and determine
for yourselves whether it was warranted. It's really too bad --I'd like to
have added something to the discussion of secondary causes, which, in
typical fashion, is getting botched by Bill's and Denyse's sycophantic
commentators.

Shame on you, Bill, for letting this travesty of a post be published and for
removing me as a result of a comment based on what actually transpired here
on the ASA list and on a theological point about Aquinas. You are losing
whatever battle it is you're fighting, and this kind of thing is why.
