In the 90s Christians tried to get Inteligent Design included in public school science classes. In multiple court cases it was ruled a back door attempt to get religion, ie creationism, into public education.

The DI was a leader in the ID as science push.

The Discovery Institute here in Seattle has a slick science looking web site.

ID and creationism seem like a means to sel books and make money.

Darwinist: Learning to Live with Panpsychism? | Evolution News

Jerry Coyne is having a hard time understanding why anyone would even consider taking panpsychism seriously.

Jerry Coyne, a traditional Darwinian evolutionary biologist and author of Why Evolution Is True, is having a hard time understanding why anyone would even consider taking panpsychism seriously. His bafflement over the growing acceptance of the idea that every living thing (or everything) is conscious to some extent may shed light on some new features of the changing science landscape.

His jumping off point is a recent three-way debate/discussion, sponsored by MindChat, between panpsychist philosopher Philip Goff, naturalist theoretical physicist Sean Carroll, and physicalist philosopher Keith Frankish, who views the mind as an illusion created by the brain — or, as Coyne puts it, “a trick of the biological mind.”

Someone open a turn of the millennium time capsule?

I remember Discovery making a teaser release on some huge finding. And it ended up being nothing. Dembski had his mutated shrimp. Hovind was convicted and went to jail. AiG was building an ark slowly using other people's money in Cincinnati*.

They folded in Dover, wouldn't even show up, likely because they sensed the course of the proceedings and realized they'd lose in open court.
