Even Dembski's dittoheads on http://www.uncommondescent.com/ concede that it was not likely to influence a person on either side.
(Although one person did write this:
A suspicious person might suspect NASA’s “breaking news� was timed to cut short the ID segment. The NASA “live coverage� was neither live nor time-critical and could have waited until a routine update on the shuttle mission yet NASA chose the *exact* moment Dembski was going to appear to hold a news conference. I think if run NASA’s conference timing through design detection you’ll find it was a purposeful design.
Tinfoil hat, anyone?)
Anyway, did anybody catch it?
