**Scott’s charge that critics of Darwinian evolution, like me and my colleagues at Discovery Institute, “misquote” or “quote-mine” the work of scientists has degenerated into a slogan.

Discovery's quote-scholarship is fully worthy of its creationist roots: abolutely scummy. Perhaps you recall going over these charges in detail when Discovery Institute tried to rebut NCSE over DI's presentation to the Ohio Dept. of Education.

Dembski trying to claim that nothing is going on here, that DI is anything but a propaganda mill for an activist movement (while accusing the rest of the world of what they are doing) is just ludicrous.

VR, intelligent design theory and creationist theory are not -- let me repeat that, NOT -- the same theory. You continually conflate the two as if they were identical. This is not so. ID does not specify the creator.
