The ratings would be astronomical. Then CD could run for president on the Democrat plat form.

Ann Coulter is a political pundit, not an ID theorist. She writes books, not to support ID, but rather to annoy liberals.

Yet her sales figures are worth cheering about on the Intelligent Design weblog and “Close to half the book ['Godless'] is devoted to science and evolution”, a topic on which Dr Dembski had input.

I’m sure the Office of International Programs will have well-trained and evolution-conscient individuals ready for influential positions in academia, media and/or government who will stand ready to fight for our individual (and academic) freedoms as the US slowly phases into the NWO. Just look at what a fine job such elite (and Hardvard-connected) papers like the NYT does in covering ID-related news or reports about the suppression of professors and scientists who are of a different opinion than that of the Establishment.

Now, all Rock has to do is tell his oil companies to reduce the price of gas, which is causing such a mess in the other industries.

(3) Richard Dawkins. He’s sold over a million copies of THE GOD DELUSION, and apparently is looking at an almost $3 million advance for his next book. … (4) Ken Miller, … sold hundreds of thousands of copies etc

Oh dear, is that a whiff of sour grapes coming from Dr Dembski’s direction? ID advocates have written books – and even sold them for money – too.

Darwin’s materialistic theory of evolution, which is not the only theory of evolution, has not produced one positive benefit for mankind in 150 years. Biology doesn’t need it, medicine doesn’t use it, and the culture would be better off without it.

Even if intelligent design (creation science is not intelligent design [a presupposition is not an inference]) did nothing more than restore our cultures mental and intellectual health, it would be worth it. It would help the average person reacquaint himself with foundational truths, such as the existence of mind, human conscience, and the inherent dignity of the human person.

Beyond that ID has potential to reverse engineer many biological and chemical puzzles. I will take a 15 year old promise over a 150 year old failure any day.

It makes me wonder why God refuses to reward his servants here on Earth. I wouldn’t presume to guess His wisdom, but it sure seems like he could get His word out better if he helped his servants out a bit financially, and if he’d stopped the devil from putting evidence everywhere that the earth was really old.

“Godless” not to mention all the other books she wrote? I could compile a pretty long list of millionaires who reject evolution and made lots of money off of their books.

So what?

Talk about a red herring…

I think you missed the point. The “in-it-for-the-money” charge is commonly leveled at ID theorists, as if Darwinists have taken some kind of vow of poverty. The list of prospering Darwin activists shows that such charges are, as you say, a “red herrings”.

Darwin hardly “lived very comfortably”, most of his adult life was affected by illness, he was often bedridden for months,..

This thread is about money. “Live comfortably” in this context, means “possess wealth”. If Charles Darwin’s home was filled with straightback chairs, benches, and lumpy mattresses, we could still truthfully claim that he “lived comfortably”.
