Dawkins admits that life could be designed — Is ID therefore scientific?
| March 6, 2008 | Posted by William Dembski under Expelled |
Joseph Farah at World Net Daily is one of the select few who has seen an advance screening of Ben Stein’s EXPELLED. I’ve been to three advance screenings, giving a little talk on ID at the one on Times Square in New York a few weeks ago.
To me the most amazing part of the film is where Dawkins gives away the store by taking seriously a scenario in which a designer might have brought about life on Earth. Farah agrees: go here for his review of the film.
I expect that Dover was not the end of litigation involving ID. In the next court case, it will be interesting to depose the people on the other side who appear in EXPELLED as they try to argue that ID is religion given their huge concessions in this film.
Thank you Ben Stein. Your interview of Dawkins is masterful, simply masterful!

Sorry. It’s Cashill, not Cahill. Honest mistake.
After a lifetime of rubbishing Intelligent Design theories one of the worlds most famous Darwinian proponents has begun to accept them (that’s very very big news).
Dawkins once said Darwin enabled the intellectual atheist to sleep at night, now his Alien Design theory has stepped into the breach. Even if Darwin doesn’t work on earth, Dawkins can now sleep soundly dreaming of godless evolution elsewhere, and no one can ever prove him wrong. The goal posts, so to speak, have been moved to outer space where the opposition can never reach them.
I have written about it over at my blog:
