Don’t forget Elsberry and Shallit, Fezelstein, Hurd, Matzke, and Rosenhouse.

… Possible misspellings some of those names. Not enough coffee in me yet.

I am going to have to tell Joe how badly you munged his name!

Just out of curiosity,

  1. How many of them have engaged with them face to face? (as as, for example, @art)
  2. How many have published articles engaged their work?
  3. How many have been responded to by the ID people they are critiquing?
  4. How many are engaged by ENV?

I’m just curious, and do not know the answers to these questions, so I hope they are taken seriously.

That is not the way that the design argument has been traditionally understood, though it may be a subspecies of the design argument. The subtitle to Giberson’s The Wonder of the Universe is “Hints of God in Our Fine-Tuned World.”

I know Tom has.

My peer-reviewed critique of IDC, coauthored by Garry Greenwood, is the opening chapter of Design by Evolution

I did not mean to ignore your efforts, just naming some of the active people’s.

I know. I’m just curious who has been in prolonged engagement with them and how. It is really wasn’t to draw attention to myself. Tom English has some good stuff.

Rosenhouse has done a lot of face-to-face with IDC and YEC. I really should get his book.
