Intelligent Design Might Be Meeting Its Maker

Intelligent design was never a scientific theory it was simply a tool to throw doubt on evolution and stir the fundamentalist Christians of this country into a frenzy. Or to put it more simply another weapon in the god, gays and guns arsenal of the conservative movement of this country. Seems like the game is up though according to this article.

“On college campuses, the movement's theorists are academic pariahs, publicly denounced by their own colleagues. Design proponents have published few papers in peer-reviewed scientific journals.
The Templeton Foundation, a major supporter of projects seeking to reconcile science and religion, says that after providing a few grants for conferences and courses to debate intelligent design, they asked proponents to submit proposals for actual research.
"They never came in," said Charles L. Harper Jr., senior vice president at the Templeton Foundation, who said that while he was skeptical from the beginning, other foundation officials were initially intrigued and later grew disillusioned.”


It is actually quite funny when you think about it. When the time came to put up or shut up.....well it is quite obvious what this is.
