    This ignorant JW pseudo-scholar is typical of many JW apologists -- he can use a lot of wise-sounding words while spouting nonsense. Just skimming his article, I can see a number of gross errors, which I don't consider even worthwhile to point out, as it would be a waste of time. The man's arguments are entirely based on those of ID Creationists Micheal Behe and William Dembski. Behe's notion that his term "irreducible complexity" proves an intelligent creator has been thoroughly debunked by competent biologists, and amounts to nothing more than the "argument from ignorance". Dembski's notion of "specified complexity" has been completely gutted by competent mathematicians and is not taken seriously by anyone besides Creationists.

    I've read Hal Flemings' book. It's badly written (it contains many grammatical and spelling errors, which would never pass muster in a properly edited book), and even more badly argued. It contains many logical errors of the type we've come to see are typical of JW/Creationist apologists.
