David Berlinski of the Discovery Institute comments on the comments made by Robert Holub, Dean of the Undergraduate Division at UC Berkeley.
Berlinski states that, "for the first time, they are being asked to defend the thesis that biological design is more apparent rather than real. The effort has left them breathless. They are, of course, not about to surrender their ideological allegiances."
The academic elites are like the proverbial cornered victim. The lash out with ad hominem attacks and repetitive talking points like "ID is not science", and "creationism dressed up in a cheap tuxedo." They offer clever sayings in the public forum, referring to Dr. William Dembski as "Dumbski".

Evolution has become a favorite topic of the news media recently, but for some reason, they never seem to get the story straight. The staff at Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture started this Blog to set the record straight and make sure you knew "the rest of the story".
A blogger from New England offers his intelligent reasoning.
We are a group of individuals, coming from diverse backgrounds and not speaking for any organization, who have found common ground around teleological concepts, including intelligent design. We think these concepts have real potential to generate insights about our reality that are being drowned out by political advocacy from both sides. We hope this blog will provide a small voice that helps rectify this situation.
