I suspect he is referring to Phil Johnson as one of the others. I am not sure who the third would be though.

But then again, several years ago "the upper echelons" of ID would haev been different than today. Today I don't think anyone would consider Nelson or Johnson in the upper echelons of ID, at least not the public face of it.

Several years ago Paul Nelson posted to this list a message that said that he was one of only three YECs in the upper echelons of the ID movement. I don't recall exactly the extent of the group from which these three came.
