Dr. Jeremy Gunn:
'"Intelligent Design" has gained notoriety not by the quality of major academic publications or scientific endorsements. (There are none. Zero. Zippo.) It gains its notoriety by press releases, lobbying school boards, and distracting the nation's attention from what it should be doing.
Imagine that scientists like Einstein (or Louis Pasteur, or Jonas Salk, or J. Robert Oppenheimer - or Charles Darwin for that matter), advanced their theories not by conducting research and publishing the results in scientific journals or announcing them in scientific meetings, but through press releases, by publishing pamphlets, and by lobbying school boards to accept textbooks that were completely repudiated by the scientific community.
