At the end of your article you stated in a mocking tone that intelligent design has noting to do with religion. That is a different message than saying the discovery institute has an agenda and they are using intelligent design to make some progress with it. My point is that the proponents of ID do not have to believe in Jesus of the God of the Jewish Bible. Its the Venn diagram thing. You are trying to disparage the whole field by pointing to a subset.
tsss tsss... i state nothing of the sort, thats part of the article itself in its entirety as anyone who clicks on the link can ascertain http://evilbender.wordpress.com/200...t-the-discovery-institutes-disturbing-legacy/ besides, the thread's title does not leave room for confusion as to the subject... which you don't seem comfortable discussing why is that? does it bother you that ID be funded and/or directed by nazi apologetics, holocaust deniers, racists, homophobes etc... or does it not? why can't you deal with that? its either important, or irrelevant... which is it to you jem? "DiscoveryÂfs Plan B has popped up with increasing frequency over a number of months, but got its official launch with speeches in Washington and Philadelphia earlier this week by Discovery fellow John West that quickly cut the NaziÂfs six million victims to Âghundred of thousands.Âh According to West, ÂgDarwinismÂh is responsible for Âgthe eugenics movement that sterilized scores of thousands of Americans deemed unfit in the early decades of the last century, the concurrent rise of the abortion movement, and the extermination of hundreds of thousands of supposed social undesirables by the Nazis in Germany.Âh " And what is the connection between the Dominionists fascism and the DI? None other than Howard Ahmanson, a wealthy Californian who is heir to the Home Savings bank fortune. In the Âe70s Ahmanson joined RushdoonyÂfs Christian Reconstructionist movement and served as a board member of RushdoonyÂfs Chalcedon Foundation for over ten years. Ahmanson currently serves on DiscoveryÂfs board of directors and is its largest contributor. His gift of $1.5 million provided the seed money to organize DiscoveryÂfs Center for Science and Culture. So, as West, Weikart and the other Discovery fellows go about their business, speaking their codespeak, linking Darwin and evolution to Hitler, they draw their pay from modern American fascists, Holocaust deniers, racists, homophobes, and apologists for the Nazi eugenics.
