Well, you can also blame PS in large part for my ‘conversion’ from OEC to ‘evolutionary providentialist’, them and the evidence of God’s providence in DNA mutations with respect to the timing of events associated with my nephrectomy.
It seems to me from what I picked up there, that the complexities that can arise from neutral drift were within biostatistical possibilities. And then there’s exaptation.
A significant factor helping to convince me was ‘why there is no proof of God’, not that there is not plenty of evidence pointing to him, but nothing ‘scientifically demonstrable’. ID is part of that because, if you can prove the existence of uppercase Design, then you have proven the existence of a Designer, not that ID specifies any particulars, or even necessarily an uppercase D.
I used to be a big Behe fan, and Trifonov’s code-crowding lecture is amazing. But what is counterintuitive to me, at least, is they are both evolutionary scientists.
