Well, That About Wraps It Up for Intelligent Design (Maybe)

January 18, 2006 by Don Radlauer 8 Comments

I’m starting to feel a little sorry for the Discovery Institute and its Center for Science and Culture. They’ve undertaken the unenviable task of promoting “the scientific theory known as intelligent design”, while vigorously maintaining that “intelligent design”, properly understood, is not a sneaky way of promoting Biblical creationism.
