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?

You've completly ignored the fact that the dissertation is not public until it has been defended in committee. They can't read it.

You've also ignored the requirement that a tenured prof is required to notify the university if they suspect corruption in the degree granting process. They would have been remiss not to have reported their observations.

You've also ignored the evidence the Lenards own committee was the entity that halted the defense of the dissertation, after their stacked committee was changed.

The creationists have been caught red handed gaming the system to promote their agenda, and you're mad at those who caught them.

If ID/Creationism were real science, these people wouldn't need to resort to such corruption. The science would stand on it's own.
