"Exposing Chris Mooney’s Attack on Intelligent Design"

I have little interest in continuing to point out that such illogic doesn't interest me.

What illogic are you refering to, T'ai Chi?

And why should anyone in the world care what interests you?

Wait a minute... are you talking about the illogic in the article you cited in the OP?
 
T'ai Chi said:
It was not a really good response (definitely not a rebuttal). It failed to address important points.

What were the "important points" that it failed to address? You assert that there are some, so presumably you know what they are.

Fallacy spotting does not, in and of itself, render an argument invalid.

It DOES, however, put the burden on the proponent to either:
A. Rephrase the argument to avoid the fallacy
B. Explain why there is no fallacy (i.e. show the work more clearly, not merely repeat the argument)
C. Concede the argument if the argument cannot exist without the fallacy.

"You're a rotten, mean father. You never give me anything I want. And I won't go to school until I have it."

or...

"I want a party with roomfuls of laughter,
Ten thousand tons of ice cream,
And if I don't get the things I am after,
I'm going to scream!"
 
Actually, delphi, it's more like trying to figure out what my 14 month old daughter wants:

Daughter: WAAAAAAHHHH!!!!! pointing in general direction of one wall of room

Me: What? Your sippy-cup? gets cup, gives to daughter

Daughter: turns head away from cup, holds up handsWAHHHH!!!!!! points vaguely in the same direction

Me: Your noisy, annoying, light-flashin toy? picks up NALFT, gives to daughter

Daughter: grabs NALFT, throws NALFT away WAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! points vaguely in the same direction

Me: The teddy bear? Is that what you want?

...repeat endlessly until she exhausts herself and falls asleep, or the cat walks by and she loses interest...

No, no recipes...yet.

Her cooking tends to be of the "whatever I find on the floor" variety.

Before I became a dad I never pictured myself asking someone "are you going to eat that or just smoosh it into the carpet?"

Wow. You apparently wasted your youth doing all the wrong drugs.
 
It seems like the article rebuts Mooney's poins fairly well, since there isn't any evidence to the contrary presented here.
