Dembski's latest proof that ID is taking the scientific establishment by storm?
this paper. Here's the abstract:
The extraordinary properties of natural proteins demonstrate that life-like protein engineering is both achievable and valuable. Rapid progress and impressive results have been made towards this goal using rational design and random techniques or a combination of both. However, we still do not have a general theory on how to specify a structure that is suited to a target function nor can we specify a sequence that folds to a target structure. There is also overreliance on the Darwinian blind search to obtain practical results. In the long run, random methods cannot replace insight in constructing life-like proteins. For the near future, however, in enzyme development, we need to rely on a combination of both.
Dembski just doesn't get science does he? The authors aren't suggesting that proteins were designed or that evolution is false, they're talking about the relative merit of different protocols for rational protein design. I suppose if you squint really hard and have no idea of what the science involves you could read it that way, but sheesh. What a moron. And what a nice example of
selectivity.
