TagsTagsBruce Chapman of the Discovery Institute says I made false claims about them, but he doesn’t actually dispute a single fact in my LGF article. I was going to ignore this post at their anti-evolution blog, but on second reading it struck me as a pretty good example of the ...

As we noted yesterday, Imam Siraj Wahhaj (named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing) is planning a series of subway train advertisements in Manhattan—during September—proselytizing for Islam. The organization behind this effort runs the web site whyislam.org, and featured prominently on their homepage we find: The ...

An interesting presentation from the National Center for Science Education on the part they played in the Dover School District creationism case, and their analysis of differing drafts of the creationist textbook Of Pandas and People. The smoking gun moment was when they discovered the nonsense words “cdesign proponentsists” in ...

Last year CBC radio had a segment devoted to Islamic creationism in Turkey, with some amazing revelations: * The Institute for Creation Research has been heavily involved with Turkish creationists for years, supplying propaganda and teaching materials and DVDs, to the point where Turkey’s school system has purged the teaching of ...

Since the “We Got Mail” posts usually feature people who hate me, here’s a change of pace: a few of the emails I’ve received supporting my position on the “intelligent design” con artists. Just wanted to send a thanks for representing conservatives who are not creationists, or at least conservatives ...

When they aren’t busy praising Osama bin Laden or applauding Hamas for murdering Jews, the Wahhabi propaganda site IslamOnline is fully on board with the Discovery Institute and their “intelligent design” hoax: Why Muslims Should Support Intelligent Design. Intellectual Muslims, fed up with the pathological anti-Western hatred of the radicals ...

Note to Discovery Institute shill Casey Luskin: To prevent future embarrassment when “critiquing” scientific papers, please look up the words you don’t understand. The word “eponymous” means “named after.” Missing The Wrist. A couple weeks ago Louisiana passed a new science education act that promotes “critical thinking skills, logical analysis, and open and ...

Discovery Institute obfuscator John G. West gets a platform to promote creationist propaganda in the National Review, with a headline right out of the grievance theater handbook: Louisiana Confounds the Science Thought Police. This is the current line of Dishonesty Institute hooey; it’s all about “academic freedom,” you see. Creationism? Where? ...

Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District is a landmark case in the 150-Year Creationism War. The Dover School District voted in late 2004 to require the teaching of “intelligent design” as an alternative to the scientific theory of evolution (heavily influenced by the Discovery Institute’s propaganda), and they were promptly ...

This is important background information on the Discovery Institute, the main hub of the repackaged creationism that’s been dubbed “intelligent design.” The Wedge Strategy is an internal Discovery Institute memo never intended to be released to the public, that was leaked to the Internet in 1999. It spells out their ...

I was actually searching for something related to a Linux programming trick, when I stumbled on this interesting article (from 10 years ago but sadly still relevant) by University of Chicago Professor Jerry Coyne about the deceptive tactics employed by Discovery Institute advocate Michael Behe: Boston Review: Is Darwin in ...

At The Corner, here’s John Derbyshire on Bobby Jindal’s support of the intelligent design hoax. As a Republican living in a liberal neighborhood, I spend a lot of time defending the GOP against sneers about us being (as one of my friends puts it) “the snake-handling party.” Bobby Jindal sure ...

Judging from the loony leftists in his blogroll, Joshua Rosenau will be a bit surprised to see referrals from LGF. But this is an important update to yesterday’s post about Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal’s support for the “intelligent design” hoax, as Jindal’s college genetics professor asks him not to “hold ...

Here’s a fascinating presentation at Case Western University on evolution and intelligent design by renowned biologist Ken Miller, dealing with many of the arguments of ID proponents (for example, Michael Behe’s “irreducible complexity”). It’s almost two hours long, but well worth watching if you’d like to get deeper into the ...
