Leading orthodox evolutionary biologist admits that ID is at the cutting edge

While appreciating the fallacy of discounting evidence based on the person behind it.....

Bret Weinstein has given up the ghost of rationality.  He's seemingly been captured by his social media audience.  So much so that he takes the anti-mainstream side on every issue he talks about.

It is unfortunate so much of ID feels intertwined with politics (and US politics at that), especially since it is more controversial - scientifically speaking - than Cosmic Fine Tuning. The latter is accepted insofar as the data is agreed upon, even if the question of why the constants are in such a small acceptable range is debated.

That said, Weinstein isn't the only person who has shifted support to ID in recent years. But yeah I don't think his endorsement is a signal that biologists as a whole have shifted toward design arguments.
