I don't agree with your view on this, the statement includes the word internet, but it really doesn't matter. The center does not deny association with DI. DI was a sponsor of the conference.
The whole context:
Another concern of the Baylor arts and science faculty are the alternative science links, such as the Creationism Connection and Discovery Institute, that now appear on or connect to the Polanyi web site.One of those sites, as mentioned in the article, is the Discovery Institute."We now show up in a cohort of people that Baylor has worked very hard at disassociating themselves with," Weaver said. "So, my concern is partly how quickly word is going to get out and how compromised it will make us look?"
Weaver considers the links "damning publicity" and is fearful such implications could scare off potential faculty and promising medical students.
Beatty understands their concern.
"I understand the science faculty's point of view regarding the web sites," Beatty said. "It is understandable how the center's interest is presented, or in this case, misrepresented."
Beatty said it was "regrettable that the net could be used to misrepresent your work" but explains that "when you are on the net, you are vulnerable to a lot of outside links and are unable to control who links to you or how your work is perceived."
Gordon agrees with Beatty that such links are unfortunate.
In an interview with the Waco Tribune Herald, Gordon said, "We have no control over who decides to link to our site. We do not endorse a connection to those sites at all. They didn't ask our permission. It would be better if they removed it, but we can't spend our time policing the Internet."
