Granville Sewell's Surprise Ending 


Granville Sewell posted at Uncommon Descent this morning about his inability to get a laptop to simulate the whole natural history of earth, given a set of initial conditions and physical laws, to see if it can come up with complex, intelligent life, and cities and libraries and the like. If you read it as an ID sympathizer like me, you're going to start off thinking, "Oh, no! How embarrassing! He can't be serious!" If you're an ID opponent you might say the same, except with considerable glee in your voice. 

Read the whole article, though, and you'll find there's a nice twist at the end. He knew exactly what he was doing.

Jack Krebs didn't get it. How about you?
