“Science” Against Science: More thoughts on “Intelligent Design”

December 27, 2005 by Don Radlauer 1 Comment

James Na of the Guns and Butter Blog has written a follow-up post regarding the Dover decision, in which he reiterates that while he is a Senior Fellow in Foreign Policy at the Discovery Institute, he is in no way connected to their advocacy of “Intelligent Design”.
