The Discovery Institute: Microsoft's Intelligent Design Subsidiary

DavidB:
The New York Times has a lengthy article about Seattle's Discovery Institute (http://www.discovery.org), which I have long described as a club for corporate creationists. Bill Gates has reportedly been funding the Institute.

That doesn't surprise me. The Discovery Club's members include Dick Spady, Washington State's #1 charter schools advocate. When Bill Gates lost his big monopoly during the Clinton administration, he was immediately interviewed by 60 Minutes at a Dick's Drive In just blocks from where I live. That's right - Dick Spady owns a fast food chain here in Seattle.

I don't have time to discuss the Discovery Institute in great detail right now. Suffice it to say that it's as dangerous and disgusting as it is bizarre.

'Liberation Theology'? Hezbollah? What does that have to do with science? Politics doesn't belong on scientific publications, let alone religion!

You're ridiculing him over his support of his religious beliefs.

Thats a new low, even for you.

WTF are you talking about? Lobbying for disguising biblical mythology as science has nothing to do with religious belief. Aren't you the first one to complain when people let their opinions on things like environmental issues distort science?
