Michael Denton is also getting old

[RonO]

Denton is 81 years old, and Wells made it to 82 (died on his birth day).

This wiki is really deficient. Denton's later books are not even
listed. From my recollection Denton published at least 5 deistic books
after his return to ID scam unit of the Discovery Institute, but the
other ID perps do not like those books because they want their designer
to be an interactive god.

Denton was one of the original ID perps that started the ID scam unit of
the Discovery Institute. He was a fellow when Dembski and Nelson were
some kind of student interns or junior members. Denton quit the ID scam
after the publication of his second book, Nature's Destiny. The book
was not accepted very well by the other ID perps. Denton had claimed
that biological evolution was a fact of nature in the forward to the
book, and set up his notions that nature had been set up to run on
rollers to unfold into what we have today. The ID perps even published
a roundtable discussion about the book, and Denton had not been invited
to the discussion. My recollection was that the discussion was over all
negative, and was likely published in order to make it clear that the ID
scam unit of the Discovery Institute did not support Denton's deistic
views of the intelligent designer.

Denton quit the ID scam unit, but he did return after the IDiotic loss
in Dover and published more deistic books. I don't know why he stays
because they have not treated him very well. I put up a post where the
another ID perp interviewed Denton and basically made fun of his claim
of being an agnostic. The author claimed that Denton had a "sly
twinkle" in his eye when he discussed the probable lie, and noted that
Denton admitted that he may only be a back sliding Christian. Denton
always had his own notions of god, and those notions do not sit well
with the other ID perps. Denton seems to have been agnostic about other
people's religious beliefs, but the other ID perps do not like Denton's
religious beliefs.

I found that roundtable discussion at ARN where other ID perp fellows
expressed their disagreement with Denton's Deistic designer. They did
not include Denton in the discussion. Denton quit the ID scam or his
fellowship was not renewed after the publication of his second book.
The fellows were pretty well paid at the time. Dembski claimed that he
got paid every year for a while. REMINE used to claim that he was a
fellow of the Discovery Institute when he posted to TO. The Discovery
Institute did acknowledge that REMINE was a fellow, but he was never
listed on their web site. He was a whack job of a Biblical creationist
who supported the failed scientific creationist claptrap with his fruity
argument. Like JTEM he would write about himself as if he were writing
about someone else.
