Intelligent Design - Dembski Comes Clean?

[arthwollipot]

Someone on another board posted this link:

http://www.idthefuture.com/index.php?title=the_truth_about_how_i_got_into_id

...which appears to be pretty damning on the reasons that William Dembski came up with the Intelligent Design idea.

Are there any independent confirmations of this, or is it just another run-of-the-mill April Fool's joke? Is Dembski known for April Fool's jokes of this nature? I wouldn't have thought so. Another theory is that the site has been hacked, but you'd think it would have been removed by now if that were the case.

Opinions?

My opinion - Dembski posted this as an April Fool joke. The fact that it is plausible and may even be true is of no concern to the IDiots.

From Sarkar's weblog, indicating that this is probably an April Fools joke:

Conversions to Intelligent Design, contd.
So, now, I have to take credit for Bill Dembski's conversion to ID according to this site. Praise be for April 1.
