The reference is an argument from ignorance. It effectively posits that since there is no evidence against intelligent design, it must be true. [[User:Celigans|Celigans]] 03:03, 10 April 2011 (EDT)

:Atheism is also a logical fallacy; atheists think since there is no evidence against atheism that it must be true. Keyword is ''think''; they ''think'' there is no evidence against it. [[User:DMorris|DMorris]] 07:31, 10 April 2011 (EDT)

::What part of the reference says that?
::*"Dembski and Wells argue calmly and convincingly that intelligent design theory is empirically testable (in spite of Darwinists' shrill protests to the contrary) by indicating precisely what it would take to refute the theory, namely a clear demonstration that systems exhibiting irreducible complexity with specified complexity can in fact arise spontaneously by purely material processes"
::I do not see how indicating precisely what it would take to refute the theory is an [[argument from ignorance]]. Please explain. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 14:18, 12 April 2011 (EDT)
