> DAVID: I am very aware of the wedge document and the thoughts of the ID folks. I'm not them, but I take from their works what I think is reasonable, as I think my new book shows. Ask dhw.

David's book sticks to the science, and although he concludes from his clear and comprehensive analysis of all the available scientific information that there had to be a designer, he stops there. The Atheist Delusion is not a religious book, and in his conclusion he emphasizes that "in this area of thought, there are only questions, no answers. Science advances with ever more information to digest, but it will not offer ultimate truth. Keep an open mind and permit yourself to change your mind if you find it necessary." You can't say fairer than that!-I readily admit for myself, I am a form of a creationist. I believe there must be a greater power that organized the reality of our universe. That power hides in the quantum layer, somewhat separate from us directly, and that power guided evolution, for the reason that evolution is the only possible way to advance from simple life to complex life, indicating tht the creator has limited direct powers in the realm of living organisms, the most complex items in the universe. Please note that religions are blind to this sort of reasoning and thinking. They hopefully want more of a direct connection from their God.
