| − | '''William Albert Dembski''' (born July 18, 1960), Ph.D., is a [[mathematician]] and [[philosopher]]. He earned his doctorate in mathematics from the [[University of Chicago]] in 1988, and also earned a master of divinity degree from [[Princeton Theological Seminary]] in 1996. He has held National Science Foundation graduate and postdoctoral fellowships, and has taught at [[Northwestern University]], the [[University of Notre Dame]], and the [[University of Dallas]]. He has done postdoctoral work in mathematics at [[MIT]], in physics at the University of Chicago, and in computer science at [[Princeton University]]. None of this, however, has anything to do with the biological study of evolution or intelligent design, but only ID sheep don't make the connection. Since he has the lettters "PhD" next to his name, he is held on a pedestal by a movement desperate to gain any credibility in academic circles while openly decrying attempting to learn things. Again, IDers, there's a reason they are mocked. | + | '''William Albert Dembski''' (born July 18, 1960), Ph.D., is a [[mathematician]] and [[philosopher]].

| | Dr. Dembski has published articles in mathematics, philosophy, and theology journals and is the author/editor of more than ten books. His chief insight has been to observe that design may be inferred with a reasonable degree of confidence if origins other than design have very small probabilities. | | Dr. Dembski has published articles in mathematics, philosophy, and theology journals and is the author/editor of more than ten books.
