The John Templeton Foundation does not support research or programs that deny large areas of well-documented scientific knowledge. In addition, we do not support political agendas such as movements to determine (one way or the other) what qualified educators should or should not teach in public schools. ... [T]he Foundation does not support the movement known as Intelligent Design as such, as an intellectual position or as a movement.All the Discovery Institute can do is put out propaganda, issue press releases, maintain a pretty website, raise money from fools, and con the science-illiterates who sometimes make up the school boards in rural locals. It's easy to flim-flam a bunch of real estate salesmen, funeral directors, and dentists' wives. The Templeton Foundation ain't gettin' sucked in.
