He had kind words to say about the ID project. Have a good look at Jerry Fodor's reputation after writing his book criticizing Darwinism to see what even inching in that direction leads to.
Nagel has my respect. A truly great philosopher. And I love that he doesn't buy into materialist naturalism, while simultaneously resisting theistic personalism. In another time, he might have been a great classical theist.

I'm impressed with his level-headed review. I think that it's humbling for both theists and atheists.
Atheists - at least Gnu atheists - hate Nagel.
The man's clarity and frankness are commendable.
