Just the Facts
From a report of a debate between intelligent design proponent William Dembski and Michael Ruse, a philosopher who has written widely on evolution, at a New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary’s Forum at Johnson Ferry Baptist Church in Marietta, Ga. we learn:
It is so utterly unfair, we think, to demand facts from the ID theorists. Why can't we just let them make it up as they go along. You dogmatic Darwinists are so unreasonable.
The scientific community has a double standard when it comes to ID and evolution, Dembski said. If scientists can imagine any natural process to explain something, it immediately “trumps” ID, he said, whereas facts are demanded of design researchers.
