Ideas aren't made for stealing

Given that their prophet lifted whole parts of “his” work from the less attention-seeking Wallace it's no surprise that Darwin's acoloytes think it's okay to steal people's ideas. Dr William Dembski, Professor of Mathematical Complexity at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and one of the leading visionaries in information theory and its applications to ID, draws attention to the latest terrible example of this intellectual piracy.

RationalWiki is reprinting large portions of an article I did with Robert Marks that far exceeds anything permissible under “fair use” copyright protections. I was getting ready to contact my attorney about having them remove our article from their website (go here — I’ve saved this page in case it changes as a consequence of this post), but couldn’t find any contact information on the site.

Question: Who is running this site and how to contact them?

That the thief tries to hide their identity behind the anonymousness afforded by the internet is simply sickening and a clear indication of what my father would have called “girly yellow cowardliness” but that was back in the day when people still had a moral backbone and went to church on Sundays. And do the darwinbots feel any shame when this pilfering of Professor Dembski's words has been exposed? Of course not; some number-juggler at "scienceblogs" even claims that it is Professor Dembski who is being unreasonable in simply trying to control who can read the fruits of his research. Of course it's easy for them to talk a good fight, but I doubt they'll be sounding so confident when the case goes to law, because one thing the Intelligent Design movement is renowned for is its record of performance in the courtroom.

Find out why there is an Intelligent Design controversy.
