Beating that old dead ungulate

William Dembski at uncommondescent wonders (Jan 8th, 2007) why, with the publication of two new anti-intelligent design books, do evolutionists keep beating a dead horse. I assume that Dembski asks this question after having heard some evolutionist claiming that ID as a science is dead in the water. Well Bill, ID as science is dead (or rather, it was never alive in the first place) - but it is alive and kicking in the religious, political and commercial arena. This is of course where ID is trying to get a legitimate standing, hence the beating.

Or maybe....

maybe the horse is non-materialistic and every time it dies it reincarnates in some other form...
