There is enough name-calling & biased reporting going around in our culture.

There are plenty of pointed criticisms of Intelligent Design. We don't need to jazz it up.

RationalWikiWilliam Albert Dembski is an American who is one of the main pushers of the pseudoscience of intelligent design, specifically his unfalsifiable concept of "specified complexity".Unusually for a creationist, he does in fact have some actual credentials: a Ph.D in mathematics from the University of Chicago, a Ph.D in philosophy from the University of Illinois at Chicago, and a Masters of Divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary.

RationalWikiJames Delingpole is a right-wing British novelist, blogger, and in his own words, "an incredibly groovy guy." He identifies himself as "libertarian" which, in his case, seems to translate as free market and anti-science, as he shows no concern whatsoever for the civil liberties of groups he doesn't like and is an ardent chickenhawk who regularly denies the existence of the Israeli government's abuses. He likes to describe himself as "writer", eschewing the more accurate term "blogger". Presumably because too many people associate the term with "ignorant tosser with big opinions and no knowledge", which is an uncannily accurate description in Delingpole's case. He is also isn't terribly groovy, if his general fashion sense is anything to go by.<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/RationalWiki" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RationalWiki</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/JamesDelingpole" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JamesDelingpole</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/conspiracytheorists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#conspiracytheorists</a> <a href="https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/James_Delingpole" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/James_Delingpole</a>
