This is the first note in what will eventually be several comments in review of "Debating Design," the 2004 book that lays out IDers, traditional neo-Darwinists, self-organizing complexity gurus like Stuart Kaufmann asking the Dennetts and Dawkineses of the world to look outside their narrow Darwinian boxes for evolutionary explanatory power, and theistic evolutionists who don't buy into the natural theology of IDers.
That said, Bruce Weber and David Depew, in their piece, immediately following Kaufmann, definitely stimulated my thinking.
They got me to thinking the more BeDemski's objections to specific organs, functions, catalytic processes, etc. as being "irreudicbly complex" get shot down, the more and more their Deisgner becomes a Designer of the gaps.
And anyone with an open mind and any philosophical insight knows what happened to any gods of the gaps.
