Dembski thinks IDists are an oppressed minority–and wait, there’s more February 27, 2007

Red State Rabble has the scoop:
William Dembski is complaining that UCLA plans to establish the nation’s first endowed academic chair in sexual orientation law, but they won’t do the same for intelligent design.
I guess nobody’s told Dembski that gay bashing is no longer the effective instrument it once was. Dembski’s friends on the religious right have been pounding the pulpit for years now warning of the coming Armageddon if gays were granted their full rights as citizens. So far though, the worst thing to happen to the institution of marriage is the hookup between Britney Spears and Kevin Federline.
“UCLA Chair in Sexual Orientation Law–That’s Okay; UCLA Chair in Intelligent Design–No Way.”
Of course this is for good reason: Sexual Orientation Law is an important, complex, and vital field. Intelligent Design is the vacuous PR cover for Creationism (coming soon: “Teach the non-controversy”), and so deserves no Chair, nor serious consideration for one.
But if Dembski would like to prove me wrong, he and his fellow IDers can do so easily: propose a testable, positive, scientific model for ID, and do the research (in a peer-reviewed scientific journal) that backs up your theory.
Forgive me for not holding my breath.
