| • | | Beauty and truth, contrary to popular sentiment, are not fundamentally connected; in fact they are almost opposites. |
| • | | Johnson, Behe, and Dembski are passively reinforcing the dichotomy of Christianity vs. materialistic evolution, when the evidence supports neither. |
| • | | "Theodicy" and other defenses against dysteleology become useless and unnecessary when ID is severed from religion. Theodicy is not needed to defend ID, only to protect its purported compatibility with Christianity. |
| • | | The purpose of this life is to have a fun adventure, and our creators put us here expressly for that reason. Dembski avoids that conclusion by stopping his inference-to-the-best-explanation just after it neutralizes Darwinism. |
| • | | Fear of murder lies at the root of the Darwin/religion dichotomy, along with the fear of what our government must do to protect us from future threats. |
| • | | The key characteristic of intelligences is their ability to recognize specifications — not their "free will" to choose. |
| • | | The Dawkins/Dennett assertion that scientific explanations must be reductive is correct but missapplied in defense of evolution, and is inadequately addressed by Dembski and Behe. |
| • | | The fields of cosmology and quantum physics are as compromised by anti-scientific proscriptions as is the field of biology with Darwinism. |
| • | | Johnson failed to successfully tackle the issue of self-reference is his criticisms of John Searle and Stephen Hawking. The true nature of self-reference renders the puzzle of free will essentially moot. |
| • | | The capitalist-socialist struggle is in permanent stalement, and DNA cleanup is the only way out. |
| • | | We may be headed to a female-controlled society in the near future. |
| • | | The concept of morality is bankrupt in today's high-tech climate. Only laws, backed by technological solutions, can maintain order and safety. |
| • | | Humanity is in no significant danger of extinction by any currently known means. |
