Fibbing is not a method of argument

Radio 4's Today programme this morning included an interview with Eugenie Scott (very patient) and John Henry (blithering idiot) * and an extract from a pro intelligent design DVD:

"Consider the difficulty of generating just two lines of Shakespeare's play Hamlet by dropping scrabble letters onto a table top...."

It's easy to find fault in an idea if one misrepresents it but, in this case, it's easy to fix. Are you watching carefully?

"Evolution is randomness"

"Evolution is small random change plus selection"

The first version is not correct, the second one is. It's a surprisingly small difference, but one that IDers seemingly find hard to grasp.

* Me? Opinionated? :-)
