“Irreducibly complex” systems like the bacterial flagellum cannot be produced by unguided evolutionary processes.

“Complex Specified Information” (CSI) is a rigorously defined mathematical measure that can determine whether something has been designed.

During the Cambrian Explosion, new organisms appear suddenly in the fossil record, fully formed and without transitional precursors.

The Cambrian Explosion required vast amounts of new genetic “information” that could not be produced by unguided evolutionary processes in the time allowed.

Junk DNA does not exist.

Functional sequences are too rare in sequence space to be found by random mutations.

I half way agree with you, but I don’t think they deserve full retractions, just amendments, with the exception of Specified Complexity. I wish Specified Complexity would just go away as far as its association with ID.

Otherwise, I like pretty much everything you wrote.

While the DI promotes creationism in the guise of “Intelligent Design”

Nah, real Henry Morris-Duane-Gish style creationism involves Noah’s Flood.

ID isn’t real creationism. Why settle for an imitation when one can get the real thing!
