Re: [asa] Timaeus--ID isn't "god of the gaps"

Mike,
  I must be missing something since I don't comprehend. This link doesn't provide all of the relevant text so I clearly need the additional information. But this snippet is still significant: "But the most significant aspect of this analysis is that it demonstrates that our design inference for the genetic code is not rooted in a " god-of-the-gaps" argument. Such an argument would have a defining pattern of gray-white-gray-gray, where the only indicator of design would be an argument for discontinuity."

If I understand you correctly, you are saying that the "god of the gaps" critique doesn't apply because "discontinuity" is not the "only" indicator. But I'm asking a different question. What happens to the argument if there is NO discontinuity? I don't know what your scale is but what happens if there is no discontinuity and the explanatory filter criteria are not met?

  Hi Randy,

  I cannot speak for Timaeus, but I can speak for myself:
