On Creationism, ID, DI, etc

Further to that question, we have previously discussed a video of a Denton lecture that was posted by the DI. So if he ever had any hard feelings over his work being misused, those seem to have been papered over.

I also made the following comment on the video that remains relevant to the present discussion:

At 29:37, Denton quotes Nick Lane as saying without particular characteristics of the oxygen molecule “we could never have accumulated oxygen in the atmosphere or crawled out of the ocean.” Denton then sheepishly adds “Forgive me, he is an evolutionist.”

If, as has been repeatedly asserted, Denton is an evolutionist who accepts common descent, for exactly what is he asking his audience’s forgiveness there?
