Default In which I am called an 'anti-ID troll' by Professor Steve Fuller
http://www.abc.net.au/religion/artic...05/3561096.htm

Professor Steve Fuller is a philosopher-sociologist at the University of Warwick. I first heard about him through his involvement in the Dover 'Intelligent Design' Trial in the USA back in 2005, where he gave evidence for the defendant in support of Intelligent Design Theory.

He's now had a blog article published on the ABC Religion site, in which he discusses '"Theomimesis" [his] neologism for attempts to acquire God's point-of-view - in short, to take literally that we might "get into the mind of God" or even "play God."'

I critiqued a part of his article, and got this comment in response: I was wondering how long it would take before an anti-ID troll would appear. PeterB wins! As it turns out, the title of this piece was chosen by the editor. I didn't originally include the phrase 'intelligent design' in the title, and the phrase occurs more than half-way through the article. But even in the article I refer to 'testable predictions' from ID, namely, in Frank Tipler's work -- and there is more in the literature, especially Stephen Meyer's Signature in the Cell. But trolls will be trolls.... I assume it's a honour of some sort to be abused by a professor.
