Hey
You are kidding, right?
The Intelligent Design is the propaganda of the Discovery Institute, which found the modern Intelligent Design.
And the Discovery Institute were founded by 2 lawyers/politicians and political journalists:
- Bruce Chapman (journalist, politician)
- George Gilder (political journalist, economist)
Neither of these guys have any qualification in science (not life science, eg biology, and not earth science or astronomy).
Likewise, Phillip E. Johnson, who was senior member of Discovery Institute, was a law professor, but his qualification was a bachelor in English literature. He started Intelligent Design within Discovery Institute, but like the DI's founders, he has no background in science, whatsoever.
Johnson was also the main author of the Discovery Institute's manifesto or mission statements, known as the Wedge Strategy or the Wedge Document.
It list out their anti-evolution movement have everything to do with using propaganda, lawyers and politicians to promote ID to be taught in schools' science classrooms, using media, books, journals and applying legal and political pressures upon school boards to have the schools teach creationism in science. But ID is creationism, not science.
So the basis of Intelligent Design come from 3 senior members with no qualifications in biology.
You talk of politics, Jollybear, but you seemed to don’t know that the Discovery Institute by men involved in politics.
Stephen myer, mike behe and others on the board of ID, are scientists.
