Here’s a wonderful irony. Reflecting on the origins of his thinking on intelligent design including his forthcoming book, Being as Communion: A Metaphysics of Information, William Dembski acknowledges the influence of Richard Dawkins, who gave him the link between specification and complexity as a marker for ID. Of course that’s not how Dawkins saw it, writing in The Blind Watchmaker, but he put the idea and the language into Dr. Dembski’s mind.
