...my site now gets over 2,000 visits each weekday, with 75% being returning visitors. More importantly, I've made contact with lots of folks who are equally appalled by the campaigns against science and science education, many of whom only discovered my site thanks to the NRO smear job.
One such person is mathematician Jason Rosenhouse at James Madison University, whose own blog has lots of good material related to controversies about evolutionary biology.
Professor Rosenhouse also maintains a site with his own reviews of books by apologists for Intelligent Design, including Dembski. Add his site to the list of resources on Dembski's arguments noted here.
The sad thing is that Dembski's arguments attract all this attention not because of their quality, or his stature as a philosopher, but because his arguments impress the ignorant and serve the interests of a dangerous political movement committed to undermining science education for the sake of religion. That fact necessitates the work of Professors Rosenhouse, Shallitt, Sober, Orr, and many others who have taken the time to show that the arguments are, at the end of the day, bunk.
UPDATE: And here's a terrific resource on Dembski's work compiled by Dr. Elsberry of the National Center for Science Education (thanks to Professor Rosenhouse for calling it to my attention).
