So you say that people don't like ID because Walt Brown won't let anyone take up his phoney debate challenge ? What makes you think that ID is blamed for Walt Brown's behaviour ?
The facts are that Joe Meert signed the agreement, knowing that the editor could decide against him and agreeing to go ahead with the debate in that event. Brown on the other hand won't even let the decision go to the editor.
Joe Meert isn't out to DEBATE religion at all. What he DOES want to do is to show how Brown's religious beleifs influence his conclusions. And it is entirely likely that the reason for condition 4 is to conceal just that. Does that explain why Brown is running scared ?
