Allerede den første gang copy/paste fra Jahnu var taget ud af kontekst på
nærmest løgnagtig vis:
I bogen "The Way of the Cell" af Franklin Harold skriver han *umiddelbart
inden* den citerede tekst:
*******
"We should reject, as a matter of principle, the substitution of intelligent
design
for the dialogue of chance and necessity."
*******
Det mere end antyder, at Jahnu's spam denne gang er ukritisk copy/pasty af
Dembski's 4 år gamle sludder.
