What Dembski said has all ready happened. Did you think there would be people marching in the street or that the revolution would be televised? The Altenberg summit was pretty much the most significant blow to the modern synthesis to happen in the last 80 years. The problem is, it was done very low key and not many in the general public know about it. I have spoken to college professors who still have never heard about the new extended synthesis at Altenberg, or that fact that even the no holds bar Massimo Pigliucci would call for the relaxing of the assumptions of the Darwinian synthesis. It seems even these 16 rock stars of evolutionary biology have come to realize and admit the limitations of the modern synthesis, and even its poster child natural selection as having the explanatory powers for life as we know it. This new extended synthesis being proposed is based on self organization and a non centric gene paradigm, and is being challenged by neo Darwinist like Eugenie Scott and the NCSE, but even she knows the gig is up and her gravy train is about to run dry.  The big problem with the new extended synthesis is that even less is known about its principles than we know about Darwinism. So in essence, we are about to replace one paradigm, with a lesser known one. Major Journals are now publishing more works of ID theorist. I think Dembski was close enough. Gould proclaimed Darwinism to be dead 30 years ago, and only now are people realizing it. Encode taught everyone a lesson in just how little we really know about the genome You seem to still have ID on your mind even if thread is a year old.
