Dembski and Swamidass: What is the Status of the Explanatory Filter?

[Art (Arthur Hunt)]

Mozart did not write the Concerto for Flute, Harp, and Orchestra in C major, K. 299/297c.

Some combination of (4), (5), and/or (6) did. The apparent agent “Mozart” is shorthand for physics in various guises. We simply await the details, but “Mozart” is a placeholder for a more adequate, non-intentional theory.

That way lies insanity. My apologies if I do not follow you there.

I agree, to insinuate that Mozart was not a sentient being (which is exactly what I was saying) is a bit of insanity. I’ll admit I do not understand in the slightest what you are getting at, @pnelson. We plainly have different ideas of what to means to be sentient.
