Another great article from the Discovery Institute.

Another steaming pile from the anti-science Discovery Institute.

If anyone is laboring under the delusion that the Discovery Institute has the furtherance of science anywhere in their thoughts, all they need to do is read the Institute's Wedge Strategy.

And one of the greatest lies is that ID is science. Here is what the wedge document says:

We are building on this momentum, broadening the wedge with a positive scientific alternative to materialistic scientific theories, which has come to be called the theory of intelligent design (ID). Design theory promises to reverse the stifling dominance of the materialist worldview, and to replace it with a science consonant with Christian and theistic convictions.

Get that part, "replace it with a science consonant with Christian and theistic convictions?" Just think of all the sciences that would be "replaced" under such a system:

My my. Aren't we in a tizzy. Your atheistic religious beliefs have been offended.

Get used to it. Here is a news flash for you: Science is not defined as that which confirms atheistic materialism.

Oh, here’s another inconvenient fossil that has the Church of Darwin’s collective panties in a twist (also see the Carbon 14 link at the bottom...the Darwinist assumptions are piling up faster than geocentric epicycles):

A late 2006 poll by CBS showed that:

Belief system

Creationist view 55%

Theistic evolution 27%

Naturalistic Evolution 13%

All that boring old science will be gone. But there will be rich debate about exactly which 24-hour period on the calendar 6,000 years ago the earth was created. Out of all the things in the Bible, somehow figuring out this exact date and “proving” it took exactly 24 hours is the most important thing of all.
