Michael Egnor has a great post at ENV which diserves more attention and comment. A scientist who believes he can detect intelligence based on the behavior of a binary star system calls inferring intelligence from the information content of living things “pseudoscience”. Comments?

I won't blame him since even uttering ID is a taboo and potentially dangerous for his career. We have seen the vehemence with which the 'scientists', universities, Project funders, even judges react to any deviation from evolution.selvaRajan

The post poses an interesting question. Why is Cadell Last curious about potential design when it comes to binary stars but utterly incurious when faced with evidence of design in living things more compelling by several orders of magnitude? The answer has nothing to do with the evidence and everything to do with Last’s perceived need to pay the price of admission into the academic Cool Kids Club. This reminds me of a post that I put up last year and have reposted today.
