Part of this might be due to not reading critiques carefully or not wanting to. If you are immersed in Jesus-land and have few people that you talk to often that disagree with you, it's hard to think outside the box.Jeffrey Shallithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12763971505497961430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20067416.post-69091359742358673492016-09-15T06:45:11.626-04:002016-09-15T06:45:11.626-04:00I'm frequently told that you win hearts and mi...I'm frequently told that you win hearts and minds by being respectful and not insulting, and by using the principle of charity, rather than assume malice. <br /><br />I don't know how to be respectful and charitable towards Dembski. He MUST know that everything he says is false. It has been shown false to him so many times he cannot be unaware of it. <br /><br />The most charitable interpretation I can give is that he is crazy. As in mentally ill, rather than just a lying sack of shit. Is Bill Dembski mentally ill?

And to add to this embarrassment of a journal, the bios of the editorial board are not current, including that for Dembski himself.
