paleonet ID and function discussion



First of all, I would like to thank everyone who has responded to my 
query.  I have learned a great deal from this active discussion.   We 
need to continue to emphasize, in every forum we have available, that ID 
is not science and is poor philosophy.    

Glenn Branch sent an interesting and apropos online article by Shanks 
and Joplin , http://www.etsu.edu/philos/faculty/niall/complexi.htm that 
is well worth looking at.
