The Explanatory Filter, v 2.0

Rich Hughes sent along a diagram of Dembski's explanatory filter. It won't fit on my screen, but PZ Myers redid it and posted it to his blog as well. It's hysterical. Click here.

Simpler, perhaps easier-to-operate filter here.

I'm hoping Davescot comments in bold about it at (un)common descent. He's dreamy. He's a world class something or other for Dell, dontcha know!

I'm especially amused how they assign probabilities for events to which they have no idea what the relevant probability is, and then give the evolutionists the 'benefit of the doubt' by reducing the meaningless probability to a smaller meaingless probability.

Plus, as oother have noted, they look for the probability of spontaneous generation - no intermediate steps or nasty recursive forces..
