BPSDBTyler DiPietro finds a fresh example of steaming creationist nonsense at the weblog of Dembski and sycophants, Uncommon Descent. I summarize for the busy reader:

Because running an image of a face through a software filter makes it look less like a face, Darwin was a fuddy-duddy and materialism is on its last leg.

The cream on the cocoa is, however, this bit, from a commenter:

Gee, given that “complex specified information” has never been consistently defined, I wonder how one could compute it.

  4. I rather like the Skepchick shirt which points out that an Intelligent Designer would have made sperm which could handle body heat so the balls could go inside the body.
