You seemed to have overlooked the fact that two members of the staff at the Discovery Institute stated that intelligent design is not a scientific theory.

A peer-reviewed paper is quite different from writing a book, but then anybody with a rudimentary knowledge of science would know that.

“Science is uncertain. Theories are subject to revision; observations are open to a variety of interpretations, and scientists quarrel amongst themselves. This is disillusioning for those untrained in the scientific method, who thus turn to the rigid certainty of the Bible instead. There is something comfortable about a view that allows for no deviation and that spares you the painful necessity of having to think.” — Isaac Asimov

I didn't overlook it at all, nor did I comment on it. I did think it good to have the source and Medved’s full statement available or did you overlook that?

And so that all may understand the level of your logic here:

“The Origin of Intelligent Design:
A brief history of the scientific theory of intelligent design
by Jonathan Witt, Ph.D.
Senior Fellow, Discovery Institute”

And they DO list peer reviewed papers. Or did overlook that too?

Seeing that Asimov was an atheist I can understand why he would make such a comment on the Bible.

And given his arrogance, the last part is understandable too.
