- Luskin contradicts Behe
Casey Luskin, you need to talk to Michael Behe, he didn't get the memo. Luskin claims that evil Darwinists misrepresent ID thusly: Dr. Kampis says: "The Intelligent Design movement holds that living organisms are too complex to have arisen through... - Discovery Institute can't even lie accurately
The Discovery Institute is still pouting over the Flying Spaghetti Monster, claiming that it "mocks religion." No. It mocks creationists who palm their creationism off as scientific. Big difference. Undeterrred, the Discovery Institute "quotes" Glenn Branch of the Nation Center... - Intelligent Design: The Year in Review
ID is dropping any pretense that it’s actually a scientific theory. The Wedge Document makes it plain that ID is simply a tactical weapon for use in the culture war (Whatever that is). So how is it doing? A few... - The DI propaganda machine continues to slime U.S. District Court Judge Jones.
The Discovery Institute claimed that the judge essentially plagiarized the winning side’s Proposed Findings of Fact. As I previously pointed out, a trial judge’s acceptance of the winning side’s proposed findings is so common as to be unremarkable. There is... - More slime at Judge Jones

Well, neither. I will gently rib the state and federal bench by dividing judges into two categories: Lazy judges and not so lazy judges. Why is this difference important? After trial there is as “winner” and a “loser,” as Intelligent... - 1977 Indiana Creationist textbook case online
Old familiar arguments, same result. Talk Origins posted the opinion in Hendren v. Campbell, a 1977 Indiana State court opinion rejecting the adoption of a creation science textbook. Who cares what some Indiana trial court said almost 30 years ago?... - Intelligent Design: "Bait on the hook of creationism"
LA Times science writer Robert Lee Holz isn't fooled by the ID propaganda blitz. He criticizes ID in the course of reviewing three recent Books: The Reluctant Mr. Darwin: An Intimate Portrait of Charles Darwin and the Making of His... - Is evolution a religion?
No. A great interview with Edward O. Wilson on Intelligent Design's many shortcomings. He makes the point that the public version of ID concedes evolution inthe vast majority of the cases. Once that concession is made, there's not much left....
