I’ve been looking for something that organized it as well as concisely as this does.

Yeah, lucky hit. I know Berkeley has a good site on the fossil record and good tools for educators, so when I saw their name on pg 1 of Google, I was pretty sure it would be good. Sherlock’s responses really confirm everything we’ve found out about him. The points kind of build on each other, so by dismissing the first few, it’s easier to dismiss the rest. He does his usual word play, like focusing on how organizations can go about their business however they want, ignoring the point that they don’t act like scientific organizations. Later he talks about prejudices within science, which of course exist, but they don’t discredit 3,000 years of improvements in the scientific methods. But to him, science is dogmatic, so he can dismiss it as he pleases. Of course, when he wants to claim authority, like in the last point, he quickly returns to saying ID proponents are credentialed. Unless he’s willing to talk about what “credentialed” means or how you evaluate science when you aren’t an expert in that specialty, there’s no basis for talking to him.
