I was looking for something else this morning and stumbled across these guys again. With a name like Discovery Institute, one would think that this is a place for highbrow discussion of science and technology, but it’s really an anti-science website. They are one of the big purveyors of intelligent design theory. Michael Behe is one of their fellows. He sells books to the rubes promoting his theory of “irreducible complexity” which to me boils down to “I don’t understand it, therefore it must be magic.” These people are part of a national movement to keep dumbing down the science we teach our children until it can be replaced with religious dogma. I’ve added them to the Irrational list on my links page, which by the way is still far from complete. I’m open to your suggestions for additions to the lists or for additional lists. Just put any ideas you have in the comments.
*I shamelessly stole that phrase and the wooly mammoth pic from Pat Hayes over at Red State Rabble. Check him out. He’s certainly better than me at this.
