Nope, it’s an Intelligent Design organization.
Quote: From Wikipedia:
Quote:The Discovery Institute is a U.S. non-profit public policy think tank based in Seattle, Washington, best known for its advocacy of intelligent design. Its Teach the Controversy campaign aims to teach creationist anti-evolution beliefs in United States public high school science courses alongside accepted scientific theories, positing a scientific controversy exists over these subjects.
Wikipedia is a user-generated site, so that proves nothing.
Quote: Sure sounds like a creationist group to me. You don't see anyone but creationists advocating intelligent design or "teach the controversy."
Really? Do you know who the founders of the Discovery Institute are?
Here’s one for you…
Dr. David Berlinski. Since you seem to love Wikipedia, let’s see what they say about him…
“David Berlinski (born 1942) is an American philosopher, educator, and author. Berlinski is a Senior Fellow of the Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture, the hub of the intelligent design movement. A critic of the theory of evolution, Berlinski is theologically agnostic and refuses to theorize about the origins of life.[1] He has written on philosophy, mathematics and a variety of fictional works.”
You’re asserting that the Discovery Institute is a creationist organization even though one of its founders is an agnostic who refuses to theorize about the origins of life? Get real.

I’ve already demonstrated that it fits the definition of science, you’ve done nothing to refute that point besides making it evident that you do not like it. I cannot help you there.
