Miller in the BAM: "To start off our round-up of recent magazine articles on evolution, consider this profile of Ken Miller from the Brown Alumni Magazine. Much of it will be old news to devotees of the evolution\ID fracas. But the article also conatins some interesting nuggets:

Although Miller, a cell biologist, has been defending evolution in public forums for most of his adult life, in 1997 he become a national figure. That year he appeared with three other evolutionists on Firing Line to debate [William F.] Buckley and three anti-evolutionists. His host sensed Miller was something special. ‘Young man,’ Buckley told a startled Miller after the show, ‘that was the most astonishing performance I’ve ever seen. That was absolutely remarkable.’ The admiration was mutual. ‘I would place him as one of the four or five smartest people I’ve ever met in my life,’ Miller says. ‘But he doesn’t know science. That’s why he was completely out of his depth. Like many brilliant people, he is also capable of profound self-delusion.’ "
