They throw around the term "Darwinist" just like Howard Dean throws around the term "Christian". It's made to divide people into "us" and "them".
The Discovery Institute is a propaganda machine for money, just like the greenie groups.
And what would you call a Professor who doesn't contact the dissertation committee or the academic advisor about his concerns of "academic integrity" but rather comes to conclusions about a dissertation without reading that dissertation and then starts a smear campaign in the media and on the internet?
The academy at its best?
It's more diabolical (in the literal sense of that word) than that. I think they're trying to take the term Darwinist -- which is itself a bogus term designed to portray the theory of evolution as some kind of cult -- and turn it into a word like "Marxist." So you'll be seeing that kind of expression -- Darwinist professor, Darwinist text, Darwinist dogma, etc. -- more and more. But it will always be coming from the dedicated sources of this ID-Creationist assault on Western Civilization.
