The Death Knell for ID?

Creationists like Behe and Dembski put ideas out there that they then defend with great energy in the public arena but upon which they conduct no actual research. Dembski is now at a seminary while Behe, because he has tenure, remains ensconced at Lehigh where he has produced 0.2 papers per year over the past decade. Both are just as convinced of their ideas as ever, but ideas in science are measured by how convincing they are to other scientists, and by this measure both creationism generally and ID specifically have been spectacular failures for a long time.And so it seems incongruous and almost comical to me to see evolutionists giving ID disproportionately far more critical attention than it is receiving from those who should be actively researching ID but aren't.--Percy

Here's the webpage where the Biologic Institute lists "Selected Publications" beginning about half way down: Can anyone find a citation that challenges naturalistic approaches to science? Anything that seems like it introduces a "broadly theistic understanding of nature" or that challenges the "materialistic worldview"?--Percy

The ID research program is contradictory because it seeks evidence of the immaterial in the material. Under what circumstances do they imagine that the immaterial can have an effect on the material?Whatever form such evidence might take, their list of research papers tells us they're convinced that evidence is well hidden. They're mostly looking at the very tiny in microbiological processes, and at the very far away in stars and exoplanets. They're apparently convinced that whatever the designer is doing, it won't be found in anything obvious like earthquakes, volcanoes, weather, comets, asteroids, medicine, politics, wars, technology, financial systems or social movements.Since their research is notable for its exclusive focus on the material, obviously they're doing what creationists have always done: seeking the unexplained, deeming it unexplainable, then declaring, "Here be God!" Oops, I mean, "Here be the designer!"--Percy
