That's a question to be taken up with John Smart, I should imagine, but I
don't think he's on this list any longer. Then again, maybe he doesn't use
the term `Singularitarian' anyway, although last time I talked to him the
Singularity prospect was his major concern.
The far more interesting question, I'd have thought, is why a
crypto-creationist like Dembski wishes to associate himself with a
conference dealing with the Singularity, and why the organizers would
welcome him.
