I guess he has a point. Science has no answer to that one, other than to say that he's asking the wrong question.
I really liked the second example, with the reference to Hubbard. Examples 3, 4 (no other species dares try balance on two legs, why even I myself sometimes struggle to master it!), and 6 (succinct!).
I also love the spin of "I don't get it" as "impenetrable obscurity".
And I didn't know you testified in the Dover case, that's pretty neat.
I didn't testify - I was asked to testify. I was deposed, but since Dembski dropped out on the opposing side, my testimony in court was not needed.
