Okay, the "rebuttal" (PDF) of my work from the Discovery Institute went online early today. So I have at least gotten to peruse it briefly. I can't allege that I was "surprised" by it, though the timing of its release remains curious. Anyway, you can peruse the document yourself, here, and compare it with my chapter on ID. I've done so, and, well...I'll tell you my opinion later. This is the time for your own reactions.

P.S.: Casey Luskin came to my talk last night. I appreciate his openness to hearing the other point of view, and he seems like a perfectly nice guy. However I gave him a tongue lashing about his attack on my credentials. If you can stand it, his rebuttal is here.

P.P.S.: Again, you can listen to the Michael Medved Show today at 1 PM PT by going to the show website. I won't be blogging any more until afterwards. Also use this post for comments/reactions to the show.

P.P.P.S: Well, the debate is done, it was actually much less contentious than I was preparing for, both because Michael Medved was a very fair host, and because the high number of callers prevented Wells and I from really getting into things and mixing it up. Anyway, thanks to all of you for listening. I think I held my own in a context when pretty much all of the calls were against me, although perhaps I could have been tougher and thrown a few more jabs. Any and all thoughts appreciated.
