Surprise, Surprise

The Discovery Institute, the Seattle think-tank that has been ramming Intelligent Design into the national nostril this summer, likes to put on a good face. There are lots of scientists on their roster, lots of official-sounding publications on their Web page. But what do those scientists on their roster even think about them? Do they agree with the Discovery Institute? Do they even want to be listed as members? You would think so, but this article makes me skeptical. Like the cute ape pictures and DNA molecule drawings on their Web site, and like ID itself, the Discovery Institute's scientific credentials appear to be nothing more than smoke and mirrors.
